After I loaded a crane maintenance machine onto one of the Boeing truck drivers here at work, we got to talking about guitars.
He had wanted to buy my 2012 SE Custom 24, but he ended up getting a used Ibanez RG, something that was made exclusively for Guitar Center.

It plays like crap he says, and will not stay in tune.
He also has a Fender tube amp that can get nice and dirty, but only if cranked, and he cannot play that loud at home, even with a house as it will drive his wife nuts.

Enter my Blackstar ID15 I have at work.
You can get any tone you want at any volume, even a whisper.
Sometimes a solid state amp is what you need if you need to keep it nice and low, but sound agreesive.

He came inside my office and tried out my 2012 SE Tremonti Custom I keep here, and the amp.
He was blown away at the quality of the Tremonti over any other electric guitar he has tried, and also liked how the amp sounded "metal" even at a very low volume.

I think he may be wanting to buy the Custom 24 at a later date, and I will run it to my dealer later as it still has the Cobalts on it from 2012 when I bought it, and the original setup they did on it.
He also knows my dealer as he bought a keyboard there years ago.

He is just now getting into guitar, so the PRS will be a great guitar for him, plus it will stay in tune :D
 
Cool Beans. Whatever happened with the person at your work with the old goldtop. What did they decide to do?

Yea, inquiring minds want to know!
This old '52 that is a little older than me :D

My dealer was not able to locate a pickguard for it that would fit correctly.
Not sure if he tried contacting Gibson on it or not.
My coworker says her dad may one day get a display cabinet to show it off, but for now I guess it is just sitting in the case.
He will probably never play it.

The truck drivers name isn't Randy is it?
No, it is David.
Do you work for Boeing too?
He is going to drop by tomorrow with another friend to try out my SE Custom 24, bringing that one in Thursday.
 
Nooo, leave the pick guard off. I spent months trying to find an LP without a pick guard. I think they look better without and I have no scratches/pick marks or whatever in the pick guard area after playing her for a few years.

No but we do have one in the NW.
It's just that I have a very similar story.
Truck driver buys an Ibanez and it won't stay in tune. I load him and tell him about prs guitars. Not sure if he ever got one..
