PRS (SE) 2024

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Welcome back PRS DC3

The NF3 existed alongside the DC3 back in the day. Just one was using the NF pickups and the other was using the 513 pickups.

Bringing the DC3 back would have been redundant though because of the Silver Sky.

Also it looks like the countoured this one a lot more than the original NF3/DC3. It reminds me of a NF3/EG3 (or EG4) hybrid.

So the routes can fit full-sized humbuckers. So if you're like me and want a weird Superstrat deal, then yeah I'd be all over this lol. It's got that one-up over the Silver Sky which only has S-S-S routing.

I wish it had a 25.5'' scale like the SS. Or at least that 25.25'' of the OG DC3. Just because more numbers good.

I'm with you. Wouldn't mind one for the soul purpose of doing some kind of super strat set up. Just don't know if they're worth 800 bucks.

I wouldn't be surprised if the pickups were the reason why it's so expensive. Seems like they're made to the same exact specs and dimensions to the USA pickups which might affect the cost.

Kinda why I hope they do a standard humbucker one or bring back the DC3... The former is wishful thinking, the latter *definitely* won't happen.

Don't know why I didn't think about the pick ups likely being the reason on the cost. Makes a lot more sense now. I'm with you though, a regular humbucker version would be NICE.

It was an idea so cool that Brad from Linkin Park had PRS make him a bunch of DC3s with a bucker in the bridge

They're going all in with the bolt-ons
SE CE24, but with swamp ash TOPS (not bodies, my mistake. Still mahogany bodies) and sandblasted finishes

Green, purple, red, blue, and white

Sandblasted finish is my Achilles heel. I have abstained from the mere thought of purchasing any PRS of any level for my entire life but I kinda want that green one now.

Love the blue and the purple

Goddamn...

Looks like a mayonnaise from 12 years ago

Charvel is still fire-sailing their green sandblasted ProMod at Adorama for $599 if anyone is interested:

As much as I hate Gibson, the voodoo V and explorer were always the best version of this idea.

When I saw the voodoo juju models back in the early 2000s I wanted one so bad. The snakeskin case is dope as hell. I still poke around reverb for them and just missed out on a voodoo sg for like $1400 with a decently repaired headstock break, but they're just going for too much shake generally rn.

I want sandblasted guitars to become the new burl-top veneer guitars.

MORE SANDBLASTING NOW.

Toilet Bowl bursts really need to be flushed.

 

[Ordacleaphobia]

These look absolutely sick and surprisingly reasonable on price. I've been missing a PRS in my stable since I sold off my Holcomb & Cu24 years ago.
I really don't need another sixer but I'm pretty sure I'm gunna figure out how to talk myself into one of these.
...now I just gotta figure out which color....
