Well it was a fun trip. I tried a few semi hollows, mostly a bunch of dead ass sounding overpriced junk but I fell in love with a very alive cherry red 335. $3500!!! Not sure how to afford that but dammit son I can't get her outta my head....

I tried a Les Paul Supreme, not sure what the deal was, it was thicker than a regular LP. Like a fat LP. Nice, but wasn't a cherry 335....

I tried a bunch of used PRS'. Maybe I should've worn tan pants. A couple of them were nice but I was surprised how thin the solid bodies were. Ain't no way I'm paying 4g's used for a thin PRS with a blushed out finish. It sounded real nice but one of the used cheaper ones that looked like a fruit roll up was pretty equivalent sounding tbh.

But what amp did you play through?

Something appropriate for neo-soul music, a special edition Vox AC10. :LOL:

Was actually a dang nice sounding amp for something like just playing around the house. It was actually a little beefier sounding than the regular AC10 my friend owned, as the cab is a bit larger.

I should have a fun thread tomorrow for all but about 3 people here if the good Lord's a' willin' and the creek's don't rise.

I had a sneaky suspicion you were going to say that. Regarding Vox. Figured you'd at least find an AC15 :dunno:

Good luck with the new gear. I wish my creeks would rise. We are dry as f up here. :(

I found my used CU22 at GC. Whoever traded it in had never played it. I got it for a steal.

Most of the used PRS' there right now are priced 3k and up. I played a bunch of them, really nice guitars but a couple of them had some tubby sounding pickups. I'll detail some more later. Any pro-tips on what PRS pickups are the good ones? The 85/15 "s" pickups in an SE Custom 24 I tried seemed really promising. I really dug that guitar....

I like the 58/15s. My CU22 has 57/08s which also seem pretty good to me. I can't remember what's in my CU24. I'll have to check.

I wanted to get one of the 24 Standards with the new DMO pickups, but that's lower on my purchase list for now.
 
I went to guitar kenter again tonight....

This has turned into a long story, starting with a few days ago when my wife brought home my law degree after going to guitar kenter again without my knowledge:

It was a sweet axe and I want to be a lawyer someday but right now I'm just a bluesman with an interest in neo-soul so I had her return it.....

I def DIG the wide-thin neck, awesome feel. I'm going to get PRS to make a 335 with it one day...

Look on their website, for used gear at other locations; if you buy something you can have it shipped to your local store, and return it right there if it's not what you want
