Amazing work. Just amazing. PTC rules. Compare that to: I sent an acoustic back to Gibson for a warranty repair and they said they didn't know how to remove the bridge without destroying the guitar.

The work is great Shawn ... But ... Wouldn't it have been easier, stornger, faster, sturdier ... and less expensive to just replace the whole neck and fretboard?
I like the love that the 513 has seen...look at the wear on the bridge! LOVE IT! Nice save gang!
PTC = PRS' Special Ops

Easier and faster perhaps, but Scott reinforced the neck so it's probably stronger than new.Quote:

whoa....
Great to know we can obliterate our guitars and you'll always be able to put them back together again!
Do you know what his reasoning was behind that stance? It seems like there would be a lot of interest around neck upgrades/replacements.Quote:

SA-LUTE! That is unreal.
We are first and foremost a guitar and amp manufacturer, we don't want to become a seller of wholesale parts/pieces. Others have filled that niche in the marketplace nicely.Quote:

yeah, but since Scott didn't have to fight crime, he became the Ultimate Master and learned the art of bringing back to life dead things. From guitars to people.Quote:

This was about 2008 I think.Quote:
