welcome to the forum! That guitar is absolutely fabulous :cheers:
now that's a real contribution to rock! Then you should add the push/pull pot if you're not grabbing a strat or tele anytime soon.

the first minute...
I've done it once, hardwiring the neck pickup to be running in singlecoil mode only. I personally think the stock SE pickup in the neck position while split sounded like ceramic tele neck pickups...
the coil splits will only suffice for "stratty" voices, not true strat voices for traditionalists. Personally i find PRS SE Customs to be the kind of guitar that you can use as the base of the sound...
personally i think the nut isn't perfect but it's works for stoptail models, but doesnt work for trem models. Plus like many others said, not everyone uses 9's, even Bernie's sig model shipped with...
oh, and one more thing you need to take into consideration, the SE Tremonti Custom has a Wide Thin neck, which is much thinner compared to the SE 245 or the SE Tremonti's Wide Fat neck. It's not...
the scale length didnt affect me much when i tried the SE Santana and compared it to my SE Custom 24, but that's just me. Although for some other technical reasons such as if you play in drop...
one thing about prs bridges are that although it's a 6 point trem, it's made and needed to be set up to float. I had the same problem for what seemed like forever until i really got fed up of it, and...
this shows how much passion the PRS staff puts into their work! couldn't give enough props to them. another satisfied customer haha :laugh:
y'hear that Shawn? :D
i'm wanting to hear about this too! There wasn't much info about the NF pickups that I could find on the web, so i'm curious. Last I remember McCarty comes with lower output pickups, but the newer...
you do know when you say "one of my..." we want to see more pics of your herd! :cheers: by the way, welcome to the forum! :laugh:
I'm pretty sure the stock nut is okay and does its job if fitted on stoptail models, but it isn't suitable for tremolo equipped models. For mine, very weirdly,
the B and G string nut slots bind...
welcome to the forum Laurie :D I have one, mine's a 2009 model, black cherry finish with moon inlays, flat top and 3 way toggle. It's my first and only electric guitar, but i have to say i'm spoiled...
axe24, yup HFS means hot fat screams. :cheers:
personally i don't think lightweight guitars can be deemed as a fake :/ it's because of the differing density of wood. i've tried an SE Singlecut and it weighs in at maybe less than 8 pounds, even...
i guess the best way to relic a guitar is to finish it in satin and play it every single day for maybe a year, then it'll look like it's 10 years old :D i thought the V12 finish was done to simulate...
I prefer natural wear and tear over instant-ageing. hacking up a perfectly new guitar to make it look chopped won't make it look aged, more like it's abused or used as a hockey stick! i find...
As i read this, i felt that faith in humanity is restored. Well, at least in this forum! I like the idea of contributing to other musicians or starters like this. It keeps the ball rolling, then...
shawn, try imageshack. the interfaces are pretty simple and hassle-free. you don't even need to create an account to host images :cheers:
you could block the tremolo, just to eliminate it from the equation temporarily, then diagnose the problem from there. lots of times the tuning won't stay is because the tremolo is moving as you tune...
i've done some checking, it seems to be wired like the ace frehley's les paul. it goes like this..
1. bridge pickup
2. bridge and middle pickup (not sure is it in phase or out of phase with the...
is that a 1988? I'm just guessing from the serial number, so i'm not sure if i'm right :confused: look at that top, nuff said :haha: could really use a clean-up though, even the tuning keys are so...
welcome to the forum Darren! indeed it is out of phase, it's just an easy fix. just remove the one (either bridge or neck) pickup's hot wire and ground wire, then solder the ground wire to where the...
it's a limited run model, that's why they don't list it on their website, so they're probably rare birds to find.
i think they're pretty much like all those aftermarket decals people stick on their tricked-out cars, so it's not really a big problem, for me, that is. Of course, it's just for looks, you won't have...
