Welp, I'm a PRS convert now

[Geo]

Yeah I'm gay; gay for tone.

I have done lots of things for tone, but I am not doing that.

Lol, well if nothing else this makes you the easy winner in the next neo soul shred-off competition.

But for real, watching all you guys buy sweet new PRS'...man. I'm going to feel like I rule the world if I'm ever able to grab a six or eight hundred dollar SE model. I guess what I'm saying is I want to be gay too.

C'mon in, the water's great!

I been looking at this guy but I'm guessing it needs different tuners and a pickup swap:

That's gorgeous, I dig that blue top! You should get it! But you gotta play some lydian and dorian phrases.

Gots no money right now and those are about a grand brand new. They have an ebony board on them which is pretty sweet. Good things come to those that wait.

For PRS in my experience the bolt-on models have always been better than the set-neck ones, I still should get one at some point but just have never bothered.

Well I can go take extra pics of this one for you at my local Guitar Center...if you don't mind plastic toys for guitars. It's only $549 I think.

Congrats, they are really great playing and feeling guitars. I had a similar notion. I’m a Super Strat guy through and through, don’t like Fender or Gibson models either. But wanted to try a different shape so bought a CE24 in 2017…fast forward 9 years later and I now have a bunch of them

Have you played a Fiore?

I freaking hate superstrats, as I'm sure everyone on RT knows

But I played a black fiore that was one of the nicest freaking guitars I have ever played, and i've played a ton of them

[lol]

Should be perfect for playing politician.

This is the one I ended up buying tonight. It's an 06, unfortunately it's poly instead of nitro. While it isn't a 10 Top, it has just as much as, or even more, than some other 10 Top guitars I've seen. So it looks good enough for me.View attachment 445566View attachment 445567View attachment 445568View attachment 445569View attachment 445570

Killer! The guys at Brian's are good people.

Congrats! Beautiful guitar.

Replace that rotary switch with a Gibson style 3-way and you’ll be golden. Add a push/pull tone knob if you really want those coil splits.

I've seen where other people have swapped the rotary to a toggle. If I end up changing pups, I may do that. Maybe I can try a Screamin' Demon again, as I'm a fan these days of medium outputs, though I am a DiMarzio guy at heart.

Some people really like the PRS pickups Hence the high used prices

I hate the old ones, but a bunch of the newer ones are really good

It's honestly one of those things that will probably be 50/50 for you

If I got a PRS with the 85/15, metal, something like that i'd keep em in there - the 5708s are really not my jam, but lots of people like em

a 2006, those are probably HFS/Dragon or something? I dont think they were doing 5909 or 5708 yet

They're supposed to be the HFS Vintage and HFS Treble unless they've been changed.

The 85/15 "S" models are pretty awesome IME.
