I've had and do have both Maple and Rosewood. I have two guitars with Rosewood now and one with Maple. I like them both, but the Maple seems to be faster neck in my opinion and has better sustain. ...
Personally, I like the looks of the uncovered pickups. I changed out my stock SE pickups for a set of ToneRider Alnico II zebra pickups. The number II magnets allow for more sustain and I use a bit...
Well, I look at the finish on a guitar much like that of a show car. I don't want scratches or swirls in the finish. Therefore, I never use wax. Two minuses to wax. Most are abrasive and will...
Yes, it's likely a Real PRS. I had one with dots (or moons as they were called) and not the birds back in the 1990's. It was a super guitar. I wish I still had it and had not sold it.
PRS did...
That is gorgeous. I love the color...
Standard E tuning. If the key changes, I just transpose in my head and play.
Now this is one gorgeous guitar. I love the wood. WOW !! :adore:

I agree with that. I use a Sabine RT-1600 rackmount unit. Very accurate and all sorts of tuning options and offsets, if one is desiring that. I use it basically in the default mode and it's always...
Here's another point of interest. If you are using the string sizes that the guitar was originally built for, then you're ahead of the game. If you changed and went from .009's to .010's, then...
It is definitely worth a try to reset the tuner; it can't hurt to eliminate that variable. But even if it is offset, you should be able to get the guitar to tune Open and the 12th fret as long as...
Beware: Some tuners have the ability to tune off key by a few cents. This can make it tune sharpe or flat to be sync'd with other instruments. If you did a battery change or anything suspicious,...
I've been doing my own adjusting for over 40 years. Once you do something, you'll understand much better the mechanics of a guitar. None of my guitars have ever been touched by a store tech. I do...
Sounds more like a cold solder joint to me.
Yes. I watch NCAA football. Michigan State regulariy as I went to school there. I also watch other Big 10 games and also the SEC and ACC teams too.
I typically us the neck pickup to get the smooth blues sound and then use the volume and tone controls to vary the sound. I typically use a clean channel on my amp and then use a DOD FX-54 for the...
I swapped out the pups on my Semi-Hollow body SE for a set of ToneRider AC2 Classics. Andrew Cunningham did a nice job with those. They sound great. They have the Alnico 2 magnets in them, so the...
If you're looking for a sweet little 10 - 20 watt Amp, try the Egnater Rebel 20. More power needed: try the 30. I've got an Egnater Rebel 20 I use just for jamming at friend's houses, so I don't...
What a pleasant surprize today. The doorbell rang, so I answered it and there was a box from PRS addressed to me. WOW... my "Thank You" package arrived. What a nice package it is too. 12 sets of...
Andy: The white Strat plays beautifully. This one I modified myself. Took it all apart and had the body painted like Eric Clapton's Reptile Tour Strat. Changed the electronics in it and added a...
The serial number tells me it was built in 2010. I just purchased it new in July.
I love the SE.

That's the wonderful thing about guitars. If you want to mod it a little to make it better for yourself, it's just a matter of thinking it out carefully and then doing it.
