Down to 2 PRSi, but they cover a lot of ground.

Here's another one. My 30th anniversary Custom 24 in Azul. I've had a very interesting relationship with this guitar. It plays like a dream, but I wasn't totally happy with its sound for a long time. Compared to my other Custom 24, this one is much deeper sounding and slightly mid-scooped. It still rings out nicely, but I'm convinced the original tone pot was particularly low reading. I'd notice when people played it that they'd reach for the tone pot and find that it was already at 10. I tried fixing it by putting a Lambertone's Crema and Grinder in it, but it turns out low output pickups and a slightly mid-scooped guitar aren't a great combination.

Two weeks ago, I went in the other direction and bought a Bare Knuckle PolyPAF and Polymath along with two of their 550k pots to go with them, as they recommend, and it's completely transformed the guitar. It now has bite and fidelity, and open mids that sound absolutely gorgeous. It's still a deeper sounding guitar than my other PRS, but now I have a bright PRS with balanced pickups and a deeper sounding PRS with bright pickups, and it adds some really nice tonal variety. It also weighs in at just over 3.3 kilos, which is very comfortable. I also love the 30th anniversay birds.

That is an interesting guitar. I don't think I knew they did the two birds on the 12th fret for the 30th anniversary. Nice looking guitar!

I had the NF3, but I didn’t gel with it. Want something more stratty sounding.

You should try a set of Hades Gates!!!!!! Killer pickups!!!

I'll leave it at that....

So how you liking it, now that you've had it for a bit?

It's my new number one!


My only gripe is having to (re)learn how to deal with the double-locking GE1996T (FR-style) tremolo with PRS Stabilizer. It's an excellent setup, but it's a slight inconvenience this time of year in Florida, where outside temperature goes from 85° F to 40° F and back a couple times within a week

The stabilizer helps drastically with tuning stability while playing hard and bending strings, but it also dampens the often expressive "flutter".
