Ive had 2 others one really good and another not as good as the first, different year.
So far this one is nice. 5 hour to & fro driving to get this.
The "clip locks" were hideous. Got this from a younger dude.

how's it compare to the sterling Luke you bought?
Quality wise both great. The Luke has both the LP & Strat thing going on.
The new Tremonti is a LP hybrid type but lastnite i was getting some really cool bluesy Strat type runs on the lower strings.
The PRS Tremonti is its own animal created by Mark. Its a cool guitar.
PRS buckers are pretty much LP all the way. The Luke 5 way pups more options i suppose.
Both really cool guitars would have loved decades ago.
So many good guitar options these days.
12 inch radius 25.5 scale on the Luke w/ V neck carve.
10 inch radius 25 scale on the PRS 60's Gibson type neck carve.
The guy i bought the Tremonti from had the trem tilted way back like a hardtail and thats not what this guitar is.
Set the intonnation, radius, trem, added a spring, adjusted the trem bridge screws [way to high].
Added 2 Mojo Dijon tone caps,[ do that with most mine]. Set neck relief.
Guitar was very responsive to minor adjustment [sign of a good guitar]
One fret 1st string 11th fret just a little pinking out on bends but note comes thru amp.
Its always that "one fret" on a $600 guitar lol. Fret work decent otherwise.
PRS & Sterling are getting some good rosewood from somewhere. Guess that shortage is over.
Both M. Tremonti & Luke took personal interests in developing the sig guitars not only the high end models but the budget brands for us working stiffs.
I really appreciate that.

I like everything about these except that neck profile. Just doesn't work for me. Great value for the money spent though. Bonus points for the pics of the rape dungeon. 😍
