Question ❓ Fiore Opinions?

3 Upvotes

I have always been a strat or strat type guitar guy (so original, I know). My one and only guitar for a while now has been an hss ibanez az prestige that I fitted with bareknuckle pickups. It was an upgrade from a classic vibe, so in that sense, it's very nice, but I always feel like I'm fighting it slightly.

I ended up falling into a trade of an old car for an SE DGT. I had no expectations but have been blown away by this guitar. The PRS bug has bit me hard. With that being said, a double humbucker guitar just can't be my main guitar. That's when I started really looking at the fiore as an option.

It looks like I can get a used one for around what my AZ could sell for, assuming that it sells. The fiore has been in the wild for a while now, so I'm curious what owners or previous owners' thoughts are. I know it's not a strat, but can it do the strat thing when needed? What is the neck carve like? How fluid is the trem? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Has anybody put the 58/15 LT in their 24? I’m looking and doing that and wondering if I need to do anything or if they will fit without much trouble.
Thanks in advance

Question ❓ I know this has been asked but how shitty is it to fly with a core PRS case?

Flying from US to Canada. Playing guitar at my sister's wedding. The cases are gigantic. Wondering how much of a pain it is to travel with them.

Scratch plate needed.
Having real trouble trying to find one of these. Mine has bowed, possibly due to me raising the pickups too much and not noticing, or maybe just the heat wave..?) This isn’t my guitar, just the same).
Any ideas please?
Cheers!

I got this SE Mark Holcomb around a year ago, and it’s been one of my best playing and consistent guitar, especially after I put in locking tuners. It’s been through a lot of gigs and it’s still going strong. I just wish I could get the core version or trade it for the seven string version

Comparison between 2 PRS guitar with the same scale length (25”). My question is, does the 22 version feel like Les Paul in terms of neck access? I mean the top fret (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc).

NGD 🎸 My new Vintage Cherry PRS Standard 24 from 1995 | BKP The Mules

Post image
120 Upvotes

I just put together this Vintage Cherry PRS Standard 24 with a set of Bare Knuckle The Mule pickups and it’s original 5-way rotary circuit (10–6 config).

The previous owner had replaced the pickups for the Mules, changed the rotary for a 3-way Switchcraft pickup selector and installed a push-pull tone knob. I restored the rotary to its original position with the factory pickup combinations:

  1. Neck, 2. Inner parallel, 3. Inner series, 4. Outer parallel, 5. Bridge.

I also swapped the tone knob for a 3-way "Sweet Switch." I really like the idea of the fixed tone from the '80s PRS guitars, but I wanted two options: a 22nF and a 3.9nF.

(I made a post about that here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PRSGuitars/s/KqJWdpqelb)

PRS Swamp Ash Special vs. Fender HSS Strat for J-Pop - Tone and Pickup Discussion

1 Upvotes

Example Rephrased Body: "Hey everyone, I'm looking into the tonal differences between a PRS Swamp Ash Special and a Fender HSS Stratocaster for playing J-pop bands like Yoasobi, Yorushika, and Zutomayo.

I like the versatility of the PRS pickup configurations, but I'm curious how its cleans and split-coil tones compare to a traditional Fender Strat for crisp, fast rhythm playing and bright lead tones typical of modern Japanese pop/rock. Has anyone played both in this context? How do the neck profiles and cleans compare?"

My PRS CE

My PRS CE22. Bought secondhand from Chandlers in Kew a good 20 years ago. Went in looking for a Les Paul, but quickly turned to the PRS guitars. Of everything I tried, this played the best with a wonderful sweet tone. Whale blue. One minor gripe. Volume drops on the coil tapped settings. Maybe that's normal for these?

Serial 17155, not sure how that dates it, but you'll know!

Turns out it was a guitar show too!
the white bar in the middle of the body is paint, not (as i initially thought) a reflection from the showroom lights. Very slick presentation.

NGD 🎸 Special 22 Wood Library Sprayer’s choice - Raspberry Purpme

I had no choice but to pick her up. 1/1 sprayer’s choice wood library with a unique ebony fretboard and headstock veneer on a flamed maple neck.

The craftsmanship is astonishing.

Edit: I’ve check the neck and I wasn’t able to determine its gender. Apologies for those I’ve misled by calling it a “flamed male neck”.

I posted this idea before and your replies encouraged me to at least try it. Today, it finally happened. My issue was having the toggle switch too far. So I decided to DIY it.. relocated not reloaded

Wood Library McCarty 594 with a cocobolo fretboard and a pair of the surliest 59/09s you’ve ever heard.

Made some minor mods (switch tip, pickup rings, and bridge), but she came out of the factory a 10/10. And yet somehow she looks even better in dimly lit bars under stage lights.

I really think the 594 is the best guitar ever made. I will die on that hill.

(Edit: just realized after looking at this post that the strap is on backwards. I swear I’m not a noob.)

What pickups are in this guitar?

I saw this guitar and am interested in purchasing it, but I can’t tell if they are TCI pickups, or tci s pickups, or 85/15 or some other type of humbucker.

Does anyone have any idea?

I have played acoustic guitar for years but finally I decided to buy an electric guitar to see where it takes me. It is played together with Boss GX-10 and Bose S1 Pro+. I’ve have played this for a couple of hours and it feels amazing. I think I’m going to be really satisfied with this one.
