So, I would like to take back everything I said about the PRS I modified being the so great. I now know better. My new guitar sounds like an instrument should, I think. It makes the PRS, and every other sawdust-and-glue guitar I've owned, a waste of thousands of dollars. I bought the one you see below from Darrell Cook for 1800. It's actual, real MUSICAL instrument-sounding! Not ELECTRIC TOY (e.g., every electric guitar on the mass-production market). Anyway, it's alaska spruce top, mertle wood bottom, koa everywhere else, basically. I put an ABR bridge piece on the koa bridge piece. This picture was pre-fine tuning adjustments; hence string height. Although it would be the best repair shop "setup" I've ever seen lol. That's why I like stew-mac. Yes, you're paying too much for every tool you buy there but have you ever gotten a good setup from a store? All they ever say is "I setup the guitar purely by ear" as if excusing themselves from having to use a ruler, and doing the job right.
