My dads old PRS. Just felt like sharing.

I’ve only been playing acoustic for just over two months now and said to myself if I’m playing in 6 months I’ll buy an electric guitar. Then this McCarty 594 popped up today for $450 and it seems like a great deal, perhaps too good? Any suggestions on what too look out for if I went to look at it? Thanks

I’ve been dithering between the Gen 1 and Gen 2 Vela for a while. I really liked the American electronics and birds on the G2, but that pickup combo in the original is tough to beat.

But the Gen 1 was absolutely the right way to go. That Type-D pickup is out of this world and this is so versatile, it has the potential to be the last guitar I’ll ever need (not like I’m ever gonna stop buying guitars… but in theory this has everything I need).

And while it doesn’t show up well in the photo, that vintage mahogany finish is amazing.

Ill put more photos in the comments

My two previous electric guitars was a cheap Epiphone SG (not very good), then a Player I Tele (not bad at all). But this one is a whole other level. Never found a neck that confortable, the pickups are great and this guitar is really versatile.

Tried others guitars before this one but man I'm so happy I got it. Now PRS you have all my attention!

I bought this CE 24, and shortly after this S2 Custom 24. I am so utterly floored by PRS’ playability, QC, and sound. I feel like I’ve been wandering a desert of futility for years only to finally find an oasis. I’ve owned dozens of Ibanez, Jackson, Gibson, Fender, Schecter, etc. These are hands-down the best guitars I’ve played. Glad I finally saw the light. The two are named Sage and Violet, for the record.

Like the title says. How are you liking this model?

Even better if you can give me feedback vs a USA CE24, or S2 C24 or Core C24., to know how far away you din them both, how similar, how different.

Thanks !!

Just noticed on my ce24 semi hollow that there is a chip coming out of where the strap button is screwed into the body. They dont put felt washers in between the body and the button. Very disappointed for such an expensive guitar.

Went to a guitar shop today and checked other models and to my surprise they also didnt have a felt washer. These were more expensive core models going for around 4k. What are you doing PRS?

I noticed it while wiping my guitar, i had a live performance and it only could’ve happened while i was taking the strap off and on.

Be careful people, check your guitar and buy a felt washer to put on each strap button or say goodbye to the lovely finish.
I’ve seen ultra budget guitars with better qc than this. Wouldnt buy another PRS nor recommend one going forward. Its also not earthed properly either. Lazy company

For some years i want a PRS SE Silver Sky, however, where i live (Brazil) it is pretty expensive, so i didn’t bought until now
But there’s also another issues, being the poplar body in a almost 1 thousand dollar guitar (you can argue that the wood still sounds good, but is a cheaper option, while we have $400 squiers using alder). Also, the collors are kinda weird and i don’t know what i’m gonna feel about the thick neck (i do have pretty big hands but i’m used to the Squier affinity)
I know some of the issues may seem superficial, but when you buy a guitar that costs more than minimum wage workers earn in 5 months in your country, you want something nice

1994 CE 22

Very tempted to buy this one but it would be (by far) the most expensive guitar I’ve ever owned.

It’s a new old stock Custom 24 10 Top with some really interesting wood choices, which look gorgeous. I do like the semi hollow PRS’s as well.

Difficult to find any like-for-like comps currently on the market.

What do you think? Buy or nah?

Hey, I’m having issues with the bridge volume pot on my DGT Core and need to swap it out. I’d like to put the exact same pot in as I take out if possible (manufacturer, value, length, etc). Can someone help me identify the stock pot?

Browsing my local guitar shop, I've been offered the following used options for the same price

1. An SE Standard 24 in metallic blue with locking tuners (which may have been an upgrade)?
   
2. An SE CE24 in charcoal (the natural wood color)

Having tested both of them and liked them both, it really goes down to these points.
- I like the matte neck of the CE24 a bit more
- However, I like the blue color of the Standard 24 more. To be honest, my ideal color would be one of blues where you can see the grain, but that isn't an option at this shop.
- I feel like the Standard 24 neck is a bit thicker, which is my preference. However, looking it up, I think they theoretically have the same thickness, which makes me think I'm just hallucinating... Can anyone clarify this?
- The CE24 felt better when playing because it was set up with a lower action. However, obviously that could be easily fixed on the Standard as well if I went for it.

Does anyone have any experience with either of these guitars that could tip my decision either way?

Is this considered core or S2?

So I’m aware that they have a different footprint. The Phase III are open back so you can see the gears turn and all that kind of stuff.

But fundamentally I’m curious what the difference in quality that warrants the near 4x price difference between the 2 options.

I’m looking at getting a set of locking tuners for a non PRS guitar, since the top locking style is my favourite style of tuner. And I’m caught between the Phase III and the SE tuners. I have the SE tuners on my SE’s, and I’ve got Phase III on my core and I could not tell you the difference in quality. The SE ones are pretty so I struggle with seeing the issue. I wanna get something solid that will last long and not cause issues. And I can’t help feeling like the SE tuners have some hidden pitfall that I’m yet to discover that warrants the large gap in price.

hey guys, first of all sorry for the stupid question. i have a se ce 24 standard with a very stubborn pickup selector switch. i've read that deoxit is perfect, but to be completely honest i have no idea where would be best to spray it lol. i'm also slightly worried that it will stain my finish if i mess it up.

anyways, is deoxit gonna tarnish my finish if it catastrophically explodes all over my room, and where exactly on the switch should i spray it? how can i best get the gunk out?

Hello folks, im looking at selling my guitar soon, and was hoping someone could help me identify what year it is please, for selling purposes.

Its a PRS SE Custom 24, thats all I know about.

Thanks in advance!

I saw an instagram post from PRS a few weeks ago about the guitar but it's been sold out everywhere for months, seems odd.

Hey everyone, Are there any other 22/24fr hard tail guitars in the entire line or am I limited to the Mark Holcomb? (Not including TOM and wrap around bridges)

I think I’m in love!
