Bonour, Hola, Aloha, Hello! I am currently looking for a recommendation for a neck pickup, in one o' my guitars. Really, I'm looking to remove the EMG's in it and replace them with passives, for a slightly more organic tone that requires less 9v battery. Guitar information: PRS SE Paul...

(Bump.)

So, are there any pickup recommendations? Primary genre for bridge would be anywhere from rock to death metal, neck pickup would be absolutely anywhere at all (except country. Dear God....) Ideally the neck pickup would be smooth, kinda creamy, high output, and suitable for shredding.

I've owned a jade green PRS SE semi-hollow for about 7 yeears now. Pick attack is not at all a problem in my experience. Then again, when I'm playing clean I want the focus to be on the notes--not the pick attack. I also do a fair amount of shredding, so I'm quite open to the lack of attack...

That's just it... I'm not so worried about the density of the neck. If I were desiring a solid body guitar I'd probably take your word on it--the body would easily counteract that weight. However, given that it'll be a semi-hollow, the body is going to be relatively light-weight in comparison...

Largely the acoustic qualities, for the semi-hollow part. It seems to have a richer tone overall than many/most solid bodies. Also, I seem to have heard woord that oak heartwood is a viable choice. Any truth to this?

Hrm.... Where does Walnut rate on that scale?

Greetings, all! Today I ask thee a question, concerning opinions on what I should choose for specifications for my dream guitar. I shall paste the current specification list now! Neck: 24 frets (Jumbo) Tuners: 3+3 Grover Roto-grip Ebony fretboard Maple-walnut-maple-walnut-maple wood in...

Um, PRS SE models all use hex wrenches for truss rod adjustment. I'm looking for cheap allen wrenches because they use like 1.5mm for saddle adjustment, and on the wraparounds they're used for intonation. I'm looking for cheap allen wrenches, because those things are TINY and I'm legally blind...

Hah, I'm the kind of person that would adore having that kind of action with no buzz. I know it's highly unlikely, however.... I have a couple other guitars, that have saddles--they have 1mm or less, though. I play very lightly with them in mind of that, however, to avoid the buzz. But anyways...

Naw, the fret buzz is present even without my amplifier. One of the benefits of a semi-hollow--the unplugged volume is somewhere between a solid body and an acoustic, lol.

Thanks man, apparently they have 'em for 50c a pop.

Hey all. My PRS SE semi-hollow (made in 2007) has been getting fret buzz, between the 2-8 frets on the low E, and only on that string in those frets. I've seen a couple guitar techs about it, and they say it's just me and the way I've been setting up my guitar. This, doesn't seem quite right to...

Are there any other recommendations out there?

Apparently, according to the parts man at the PRS site in MD, the blocks made for the SE tremolos are made of steel, and the USSA blocks are brass (for the vintage type tone, I assume?). He also said that it was fairly likely that any measurements or sizes of blocks or parts would most likely...

So far, the Randall Diavlo seems to be right up my alley. I'd be interested in the Engl e530, but it requires a power amp and a rackmount setup, which I lack. Also kind of interested in the POD plus power amp idea. Anyone know of some power amps that are sold by guitar center? The...

IIRC, didn't they change the name of the 5150 adue to EVH/Fender? (Surprisingly good distortion for a Fender amp, btw...) I sort of suspect it's the current 3120, but I may be wrong. I know they turned the JSX into the XXX v2
