This just popped up overnight… Foreshadowing?

Re: Any PRS SE love among us ? 2013 SE Santana here, with P-Rails, Triple Shots and Gotoh locking tuners.

Re: Would you sell the first guitar you ever had? I've actually been back and forth on this a few times over the years, but now the answer is firmly NO. My first guitar was/is a Gibson GK-55, the weird bolt-on '55 Les Paul Special "tribute" with humbuckers instead of P90s and Heritage style...

So: Chrome dome, Abalone flattop, stereo knob, or buffalo horn?

Re: Schecter Diamond Series S-1 Elite P-Rails Help Ok, forget about sanding the neck position TS-2; the way the wires come off of it it's too risky. Plus you'll never see the carveout gap anyway. The bridge TS-2 does have enough leeway to flatten out, but mock it up first to see if maybe you...

Re: Which guitar to buy for P-Rails? Yeah, you might need to get a Warmoth or USACG body made for you. The JA-90 is one guitar I'd been looking at as well, to the point of trying to figure out a way to make the P-rails fit. It might technically be possible with some baseplate mods. Manlius...

Re: Open Humbucker Covers for P-Rails.. Source and Fit Confirmation? I have. I think mine are from Philadelphia Luthier Supply. They don't quite come down to the baseplate, so you kind of have to pray they'll stay in place. The inner radius just just just barely intersects the rail corners.

Re: PRS SE Pickup Upgrade Recommendations? Pickup Covers? Clean and versatile sounds like my setup. SE Santana, P-rails in both positions, open top covers.

Re: Dual 250K/500K volume potentiometer? I just made my own dual gang 100K pot, but it took 3 different ones to accomplish. Started with a Fender TBX pot - 250K/1M and two 100K pots from some amplifier site, all pots were CTS 450 series used by Gibson and Fender since forever. Disassemble the...

Re: Custom floor shop dealers If you all you want is a no-logo pickup, just get the standard ones and rub the logo off with some Autosol chrome polish, make it look like it was never there.

Re: Who's working on a build right now? Let's see your stuff! Here's a quick mockup of my GK-55 getting a birthday refinish...

Re: The Pointy, The Whole Pointy, and nothing but the Pointy This is how you do it.

Got an old Fender Roc Pro 700 here which I've been wondering what to do with. The main problem is that the amp is simply unusable indoors because the volume control lacks any sensitivity, to the point where setting a good practice volume on the gain channel takes both hands to keep the volume...

Hi all, I'm still trying to dial in my TSL 602, and have noticed something strange. On the Clean channel, if I turn the tone controls all the way down, it completely mutes the output. Is this normal? Also, the amp seems incredibly bassy all around, especially on the lead channel. However...
