I have been lusting after a PC1 for years now. I had been toying with the idea of getting a Floyd Rose equipped guitar again. So I figured the time was right for a PC1. I was a bit concerned about the neck size- as I keep hearing people say that they are huge. However, I was pleasantly surprised that its not really that much bigger than my US Strat neck. It is super comfortable to play on. I still need to make a few minor tweaks to the setup to get the action where I like it, but overall I am EXTREMELY happy with the quality and playability of this guitar.

Great looking guitar, I LOVED the sustanier, but I just couldn't get beyond the combination of 1/4 Sawn Maple and Mahogany ....

I wish I could get one w/ a "Baked" Maple, for my 'ears' I bet the tone would be a whole lot more to my liking !
 
Very cool guitars, they still need to do at least one run with chrome though, come on! lol.
 
Just finished setting it up. The previous owner had the action a bit higher than I like. This thing playing like butter. Funny enough, I was looking at a Chlorine one when I ran across this one. I just love the solar color. The neck has flame all over it, but I can't seem to get it so show up in pictures. Maybe after some play in will pop a little better. The raw maple feels really good in my hands. Fret work is outstanding. I may put a Suhr SSH in the bridge. For now, I'm gonna let the DiMarzio Super 3 stay in there to see if it grows on me. This is easily one of the nicest guitars I have played. I can't get over how good it feels to play.
 
I've had 2 and they are awesome guitars. I hate really fat necks but didn't think the PC1's neck was fat at all.
 
Sweet! Not a fan of gold hardware, but otherwise cool...

Nice!!! They made the necks bigger on last years run I believe. Before hat, they were a bit slimmer. Maybe that's the one you got.

Enjoy!!!
 
Nice Joel. Always wanted one. Where'd ya snag it from?
 
Sounds killer!

Maybe a pickup change would have helped? :dunno:
 
Congrats and HNGD!

This guitar has always peaked my interest. I've been very close to purchasing one a few times over the years. The gold hardware and no fretboard markers have always kept me from taking the plunge. However, you have me gasing for one again! :rock:

Pretty guitars no doubt, way overpriced IMO.

Agreed, but they play great. I remember I bought my first one for $1700 new shipped from woodwind and brasswind a few years ago
