9 out of 10 doctors prefer PRS.

I like them both, but the Classic is the original PRS headstock. It's very distinctive. However, it's also very modern-looking, and that pointy style evokes hard rock/metal more than other styles...

Agreed. I for one would be pissed to find out that my dealer had charged me full price while omitting part of the package. That doesn't mean anyone owes him anything, but I'm glad he vented here...

Guitar Center bought Musicians Friend in 2000. They are the same entity and ship from the same warehouses.

What I find interesting about this discussion is that there are three Guitar Centers near...

I watched one called "Bitchin' Kitchen" the other day that was like a comedy cooking show. The theme was "hair of the dog," hangover food and cocktail recipes.

If both shapes are truly equally comfortable for you, then just pick the guitar that you like better. Base your decision on tone or cosmetics instead.

I would suggest you spend some time soloing on each. Play high up on the fretboard and see which one feels more comfortable -- that will probably be where you feel the biggest difference.

Yes - Yessongs
Electric Light Orchestra - Out of the Blue
Yes - Live in Philadelphia 1979
Rush - Replay x 3 (Exit... Stage Left, Grace Under Pressure, A Show of Hands)
Eric Johnson - Live in...

I figure people should be allowed to spend their money on whatever they want no matter how dumb everyone else thinks it is.

That said, relic'ing is not something I would spend my money on. I can...

Let's be clear here: a failure is when consumers don't respond with demand commensurate with the producer's investment in the product. Limited editions and one-offs still count, but ONLY if the...

+1 on the HFS/VB pickups.
If you want PRS tuners I'd recommend the phase II over the phase III.

Me too! Lifeson was the entire reason I became interested in PRS in the first place, and I've been sorely disappointed with his switch to Gibson. You'd think he'd at least be playing the Es-355...

The new single doesn't light my fire, but Black Swans & Wormhole Wizards was the best thing he's ever put out, just solid gold all the way through (I even tracked down the special Best Buy edition...

Albrecht, was it you who introduced me to The Chronicles Of Israfel? I was pretty impressed with that.

Easiest way would be to just screw it down like swede71 suggests. However, I don't recommend doing it that way because it changes string tension and messes with the ergonomics of the guitar. ...

I only use them on my acoustics, but my experience is that the elixir nanoweb strings last longer than the EXPs but don't deaden the sound like the elixir polyweb strings do.

Depends on the guitar. I love the 57/08s in my HB2 but I hated them in my Cu24. I prefer the Dragon II pickups in that,



Classic hard rock from the 70s. Think 70s era Rush.

This is incorrect. The MIM Std Tele has a 1.650" nut width and 2 1/16" saddle spacing. The SE Singlecut will be the same at the bridge and wider (1.6875") at the nut. As I said, you may find the...

Well, if Gibsons give you a hard time, then the good news is that the SE Singlecut should be a little easier for you to handle. The bad news is that it will still be closer to a Gibson than a Tele....

String spacing at the bridge on all PRS guitars is identical to the MIM Fenders. In fact, most guitars have the same string spacing at the bridge. The Fender American vintage style tremolo is the...

WHOA. You just introduced me to something new and awesome.

Alex Lifeson (particularly on 2112, Permanent Waves, and Counterparts), followed closely by Eric Johnson (particularly on Venus Isle).


I'm also in love with this guy's tone, never heard anything...

Naw, not hot enough. ;)

I have a system these days:

I use my Discover card almost exclusively, and I rack up the cashback bonus as time goes on. Now, you can redeem it for cash, use it to pay down your bill, etc., but...

Mahogany-back/Spruce-top is my personal favorite. It has a pronounced midrange snap that makes it sound very woody. I'm not a bluegrass player, but it's the sound I most identify with bluegrass...
