PRS Lovefest

[Vrollin]

I actually saw those two in person on Saturday when I visited Brian's shop, the colors are SICK in person! The 2nd picture gives you a better idea of the purples that show up in the green in person, it's a pretty unique color. Most will likely either love it or hate it, if it were the price of a standard model I might have walked out with it myself!


Also unfortunately there was a bit of an issue with the nitro on my PS so after not wanting to deal with a 2nd repair they let me send it back and we worked out a deal on something else! Ended up being a better deal overall as the replacement guitar is ridiculous! 2013 Artist Package (Brazilian Rosewood fretboard!) Hollowbody II in Trampas Green w/ piezo! I'll get some nice pics of my own up soon but since I just picked her up in person on Saturday I haven't really had a chance yet so enjoy Brian's pics for now!

Plays and sounds as good as she looks!

This upsets me that my zach Myers doesn't have the same effect with the tampas green colour. Yours looks amazing!

Well it will obviously look substantially different as those Myers SE's are getting flamed maple veneer tops vs the super thick flamed maple top all the way through on the USA stuff. With the SE, you're also looking at 20% of the cost of the USA guitar too, so there is that... I would hope there would be SOME differences, right?

i know i know, doesnt stop me being jealous!

Mine #170/250 Brazilian Rosewood McCarty with solid Brazilian Rosewood neck + fingerboard.

And Mule calibrated set for it arrived

Dude that thing is going to be sick! Those pickups should pair well with the rosewood neck too! Love the mineral streaking in that top too, has that classy vintage look to it.

That's what those darker marks are called? I LOVE seeing those in a nice flame top. To some they might be defects, but on a McCarty they totally just give it a classic vibe. Actually, I don't think I'd want a McCarty without them haha.

Honestly, I would say in my opinion, after having held a whole lotta necks, nothing beats an out of the box PRS neck be it the wide thin or wide fat.

How does that beast sound with EMGs?

 

[Vrollin]

Sounds good to me 57/66 set might be better for this, but I got these for free and they do well

 

[skydizzle]

I've been wanting to try the 57/66 set. I've tried every other EMGs, and normally I'm not a fan of active pups except the Het Set, but I've been super curious about the 57/66.

Worth a look into mate, I am more keen to try them through a tube amp than anything else, the randall head I have (being SS) just kinda has this everything sounds same same through it...

 

[skydizzle]

Yeah to me that's most active pups in general. I feel they all sound kind of the same.

I really don't see the resemblance to a PRS to be honest.... More of a hellraiser look than anything....
