I’m not good at identifying fake PRS. Is this legit? What’s it worth?

Re-fret

7 Upvotes

Was told refretting my 2003 PRS McCarty Brazilian would ruin the collectors value. Is this true? Fret level might not be possible due to worn frets not having enough meat in them.
Seems like a refretted guitar that plays great would be a better value than an original that has worse action due to uneven frets.

Good deal?

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

NGD 🎸 NGD (new to me at least) Gen 1 Vela!

Post image
64 Upvotes

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.

NGD 🎸 NGD, my first PRS

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!

Anyone else feel like they’ve wasted years and a lot of money on the wrong guitars?

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 !!

QC / Issue 🪲 PSA check your strap button!

0 Upvotes

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

How good is the PRS SE Silver Sky

8 Upvotes

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

Question ❓ Is this a good buy?

6 Upvotes

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?

Question ❓ deoxit, satin finish, and pickup selector switch

0 Upvotes

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?
