I appreciate the help in narrowing down the right years to get a CE for what i was looking to get, but I had a couple questions about the singlecuts. I use my Holcomb as an example of how a Custom 24 feels and according to the specs if i go with a Tremonti singlecut, the neck carve would be the...
Im slowly transitioning over to playing Core PRS guitars after how well the Holcomb has been for me. I wanted to go for a CE because i love bolt ons, but i noticed something today. When I went to a local shop to try out the newer CE models, i couldnt tell the difference between them and the SE...
So I went all out and got a baritone neck made for my JCustom RGA, and as its nearing completion, im revisiting pickup choices. Shes originally got the Fluence Modern set in her which sounded great, but now that shes a 27.5" scale baritone Im wanting to see how well the Adlers would be suited...
Ill start off by saying first and foremost, I am not here saying that there is something wrong or low quality about the PRS hardtail bridge, or that the Tight End R is superior/better than the PRS bridge. BUT I am saying that the Tight End and Fixed LoPro are 100% more comfortable to me than the...
My custom baritone conversion neck is almost complete for my RGA, so this guitar is finally getting retired after 10 years of dedicated service. She's been my main workhorse over the years but i dont need 2 baritone 6strings right now...
I havent been able to find the cause, and it could very well be my tuner that is the problem, but when im intonating a guitar..... is there any reason that an open string would ring sharp when compared to the strings 12th fret harmonic? I would expect that they would ring the same pitch since...
After most satisfyingly burning countless hours now playing away on my new USA Holcomb it got me thinking some more about Private Stocks. If I remember right they usually start around $7500 - $8500 if doing a Custom 24 as your base model right? I was curious, just generally speaking, if i wanted...
Preface: im not trying to create/continue hype for Holcomb USA's, im genuinely curious.
Due to the prices, it took me a good couple of years to get some additional hands on experience with PRS guitars but im still left with some unanswered questions. I know that it wouldnt be fair to compare an...
Since I was pleased with replacing my stock saddles on my PRS USA Holcomb with Graphtec String Savers, it made me look at the Graphtec Ghost Piezo saddles differently. How difficult of an operation would it be to be able to install these in my Holcomb? Is the end result worth the investment? Im...
TL:DR - I got a mint black cherry finish PRS Holcomb USA model, replaced the stock saddles with String Saver saddles, and put some Fishman Fluence Moderns in it.
Having always wondered how different they feel from ordinary Custom 24 models, a good 5 or 6 yeares ago I picked up an affordable...
I know this topic is gonna trigger some folks but im only really wanting to see if this a mechanically sound idea. I am well aware of how awesome the Tight End R or Hipshot/Gibraltar bridges are and that using them is a far simpler choice, but thats not what im really looking for here.
I had an...
For the longest time, i kept one of my guitars setup permanently in Architects tuning (G# F# B E G# C#) but found that there arent a ton of songs in Drop B/ C# standard to transpose to play while in their tuning. Since im limited on my number of guitars now, I had a much better idea. Im a big...
Im looking to change directions for my seven string, so Im putting this one up for trade. As much as I love her, I cant put an Evertune in her and I also want the slightly shorter scale. The Tight end on the UCS feels great and is perfectly playable until i decide to put the ET in it. Not...
Im trying to teach myself how to do setups myself so i can stop paying others to do it for me but im struggling with judging neck relief. Currently, i use a capo on the first fret, use my left hand to fret the 24th fret on my low B, and use an old 0.024 gauge plain string as a "feeler gauge".
I...
i know that its probably not gonna really rock anybody's socks here but Im stoked. For years now, ive been burning money left and right trying to find out exactly what i like most to get some custom work done. When a friend saw how i couldnt find a baritone that checked all the boxes for me, he...
I remember being able to use these for many different artists (main example being Staind), but I havent been able to find any tab books for any of their albums. Am I just not looking in the right place, or did they never put any out? I ask because the tabs i normally use on Ultimate-guitar blow...
Getting ready to let go of my Ibanez MBM1, my Ibanez RGIB6, and my KxK Sii-7 if anyone would like pre-Verb dibs before i head to reverb with them. Additional pics available upon request, and can take more when i get home 07/12. Ive got a different project in mind and these babies arent getting...
After letting go of my Ibanez RG7680LTD-1 to a buddy so I could get my JCustom RGA, he let me know that he was wanting to offload/sell his RG1077XL. He said he only needs the hardware from the neck and the lopro to help him with another project, so I asked if i could buy the neck off of him. i...
Maybe ive lost touch with keeping my thumb on the pulse of the pickups world, but why has there been what seems to be an abrupt reversal of public opinions on Fishman Fluences? Why are so many people hating on them now?
With all the advancements in amps and pedals, plugins, etc..... do you even still need to use Piezo pickups for a decent accoustic tone out of an electric? I love accoustic's tones, but hate playing on accoustics. I remember there were lots of complaints about the Double-Edge LoPros with Piezos...
