PRS Lovefest

[slowro]

Yep, started out life as a beat to piss McSoapy with worn frets and a crapload of dings including a couple on the neck (courtesy of the previous owner ) and now has a 2Tek and a pair of Thorn GT-90H humbuckers! Next up is a stainless steel refret and PLEK and refin and it is going to be awesome again!

we require pics when its reborn!
I would love a 2tek tele

That is a gorgeous guitar, I really love it. the flame is amazing and its quite elegant without the tone knob. I got love for that guitar

Yeah you're totally right - take away the flashy top, nice inlays, great fretwork, great construction, quality control and really good pickups you're literally left with a pile of wood and electronics like any other company. Its wierd

Ha ha, taking it even further back your left with the tree

I love these guitars, I just wish they'd make a production 7 string model, the glimpses of private stock PRS 7 just look awesome!

Perhaps they should make an SE model 7???

se 7 and se basses

Man, fuck this thread, I gotta stop coming back here to get my guitars asses handed to me

se 7 and se basses

Totally aggree, they make a Baritone SE so surely it wouldn't be such a big step to make 7's ad basses??? Also feel they would sell a lot of them.

The Private Stock 7s and Basses look very impressive.

Love PRS.
Just traded my Petrucci 6-string EBMM for a 2012 Custom 24 Flamed 10-top.
Should be here soon. (I switched it out a couple times -- first I got pattern regular flamed 10 top, then I got pattern thin in a different color, but I switched the color to quilted black gold wrap)

Not a PRS guitar but it IS a PRS amp....

Came across a good deal for a PRS "Original Sewell" model and figured I wanted to try out one of the PRS USA-built amps but I wouldn't pay anywhere near the new price for one if I did. Pretty cool amp, definitely does the Marshall EL34 clean/plexi/high gain tones all in one amp, and responds well to rolling back the volume knob just like a good plexi should. Not sure if it will stick around as I'm having Mesa LSS GAS and have other stuff to pay off still, but figured it was worth a try since the opportunity came up!

My brother bought a $2400 PRS and owned it for about 3 weeks before returning it after realizing he really did not need a guitar that expensive (thanks, Long & McQuade return policies!). But damn, for that 3 weeks it was one of the best guitars I've ever played. It was one of the Les Paul single cutaway styles, natural wood satin finish. Beautiful and effortless to play.

Not the best guitars ever, granted - there are better custom shop instruments out there - but for a production line guitar I honestly do not think you can do better. They're also probably the perfect studio instruments, just due to their versatility and sheer build quality.

Yeah the amp looks badass and Doug Sewell does fantastic work! Still waiting to see if it sticks around or not, I have TERRIBLE Mesa GAS as well and the EVH is handling my gain tones pretty well.... I got a good deal so I'll likely either see if someone on the PRS forum needs one at a good price or call the store and see if they'll let me take it back, I was more curious than anything else.

That is cheating
I've not really seen any PRS amps outside of blues style yet

Here is my 1996 PRS Custom 22 in Royal Blue which actually after years looks like a whale blue. I put Gotoh wraparound bridge because of the intonation set-up possibility. Great guitar

you can see how the colour of the top changed:

The Satin series... I almost bought one of those many years ago after the line was discontinued and they were going cheap. I kind of regret it as they were really nice instruments.

Is the Gotoh wraparound a straight drop In using the PRS studs?

I've always been put off stoptail customs due to the non adjustable tailpiece that came with them, the official adjustable tailpiece Is quite expensive IIRC and the more traditional Gotohs don't look as beefy.
