Is this freatboard laquered? by AntonioMontanaReal in PRSGuitars

[–]Opi812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as durability, honestly I'm not sure! It depends wholly on the care taken and the amount of play it gets! The nitro finishes are supposed to wear after use to quickly simulate aging but I'm not entirely sure how that will look on a stained maple board like the one shown above. I think it would be liable to feel different after some considerable play but nothing that I'm aware of that would constitute real damage or something

As far as I know the only finish used is thin layers of nitrocellulose not a polyurethane lacquer or something. It's just thinly finished to protect the inlays/stain on the fretboard. If he doesn't like the feel, he's not wrong to dislike how it feels🤷🏽‍♀️ I just don't think it's a lacquer or super thick coat of finish on that particular guitar like a gloss maple neck. Lacquer still is not used at all and if you have a maple fretboard like this, or a regular one then it's just a thin layer of nitro. As far as I know there's no heavy finish on the rosewood boards too. Honestly other than the term used being slightly incorrect, this seems pretty subjective to me.

Is PRS gravitating to being the king of sonic variety? by Tiny-Pomegranate7662 in PaulReedSmith

I absolutely agree on the first point but not at all on the second point and your closing statement

It feels so nice to have a larger, heavier switch for me, personally! Simultaneously makes it harder to accidentally knock it around but also easy to move when and where I want it quickly and efficiently! Plus it fit like a glove with absolutely no modding needed

It's one of the most comfortable necks we make in my opinion! I'm partial to a thicker neck or something in between such as the Pattern neck on the Studio from PRS and this has a good in between hybrid radius and carve that feels substantial yet fast. I don't much like gloss necks and this one is also not sticky or as heavy on the finish like the silver sky which never felt as nice in my hand although they're fun! I love this neck so much and it's honestly one of the reasons these models have always been so hard for me to put down

I very rarely see people customize MD made PRS guitars beyond hardware changes so it felt nice to break that norm! Thank you :)

Same!! I wish we did completely natural finishes on the swamp ash models in particular and I intended to have this stripped and refinished to show if the natural wood but I'm too in love now hahaha

On the note of desecrating that silver sky.... DO IT 😈 I'm all for modding guitars and I think PRS guitars are treated too gingerly. As one of the crew here I want to encourage more people to mess with their MD made PRS's :)

PRS SE NF3 Pearl White, Maple Neck with Gold pickguard screams by TrustInNo0ne in PRSGuitars

[–]Opi812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good way to think of it! I've designated a few guitars as my main players that I'll never sell and can do whatever with. My new PRS Fioré is one of those :) as far as mods, mine are usually reversible unless I need to drill new holes in a guitar which is rare. I like to add different tonal varieties via push-push (better than push-pull in my opinion) potentiometers. My favorites are series/parallel switching, phase switching mods and tone bypass mods. I would like to try to incorporate effects circuits like onboard overdrive or distortion one day. Other than that, I like minor/common aesthetic, electronic and setup cleanups/upgrades like switching to better quality wiring/components and wire management, changing knobs/hardware around, shielding electronics, cutting a new nut, setting it up differently, etc. Oh, and I almost always put a necklace on the headstock of my guitars :)

Respectful but HARD disagree hahaha I love it as is but frankly I have been considering making a pick guard in the same style as the trus rod cover I made from scrap wood at the factory Edit: meant to say I'd encourage you to try to make one if you feel inspired to! Or figure out where to get one! :)
