PRS Lovefest

[RagtimeDandy]

I think the thing that got me into PRS was straight up just playing one. I played one about 2-3 years into my guitar career and the fucking TOOOOOOOONNNNEEEEEEEE that came out of the thing...It stayed in my mind roughly 5-6 years later. So when the opportunity arose to get one I did not hesitate at all. And god damnit am I happy I didn't. I can't wait to see if my (loooooooooong in the future) child turns out to be a guitarist and I can pass it on to them. These things deserve to be family heirlooms, not pawned in for another guitar.

True enough. Not only for that reason but because you can take a beating at resale.

What kind of neck profile have you tried?

My more recent CE24 has a wide thin profile that I was pretty used to but It was never really that comfy, the regular profile on the older CE24 I have Is much chunkier and feels really comfy.

mod edit: this is a PRS thread, feel free to post a build thread for your custom in the luthiery section

^Apologies

im really gasing hard an SE 245 2012 in tortoise shell

It's like the Akerfeldt signature without that damned 'O' logo!

Overall, the entire 2012 SE line is looking really really good.

 

[RagtimeDandy]

How do you guys feel about SE vs. the standards (Custom 24 for example)? When I was first searching for a PRS I tried a couple SEs and I really didn't like them that much. I felt like I was playing my Gibson LP Studio downgraded a bit....but I've also heard a decent amount of people saying that they have tried both and actually like the SEs better since you can get em for ~$500 then upgrade them a bit, and that the bodys/necks feel the same in both

Not to be a huge douche, but could we please get the title of this thread changed to the proper plural of PRS (PRSi), instead of it looking like your PRS owns something? Unnecessary apostrophes (new band name! ) just get my goat, you need to go out of your way to make that mistake.

I would remove my left nut for any amazing Prs Private stock 24

 

[themike]

59/09's and 53/10's are now publically available which is kind of a big deal. Before this, they were only available on new guitars.

I know I should be asking this to someone up in Maryland, but Mike, do you know how those would compair against a the HFS/Vintage bass combo?

I've only played them briefly but I believe the HFS/VB set is a little hotter than the new ones (like 15k compared to 9k), but on the same token I enjoy the clarity of the newer sets over the older ones. Something about them just gives them a more detailed voicing.

Im sure Skitchy would be a much better canidate to talk about pickups though

Blue Matteo and a 10 Top

Woah...

 

[Rap Hat]

Ugh I just want to roll in a pile of matteo blue PRSs. I'd whisper sweet nothings to them, tell them they're beautiful (but not too beautiful, then they'd think I'm just trying to score). We'd go on a cruise to the Caribbean and I'd be like, "Oh, you look just like that water!" and they'd giggle because it's true. We'd get back and as we walk in the door I hear the end of a voicemail, "...and he told me I couldn't go out anymore so I divorced him and now you can leave those tramp PRS's and we can get married!" and the floor drops out from under me. Accusations are cast, threats are made and my life is fucking ruined. I'm living in a goddamn box with a Harmony acoustic shooting heroin and waiting for it to end.

 

[slowro]

some more private stock FILTHY PORNO!!

I would love it more if it was just 2 pickups, I don't have a use for a middle one

 

[HighGain510]

Ummmm..... YES PLZ!!!
