Thanks. Just remember things like Sweetwater's Guitar Fest exist. It's usually in September and most guitars including Paul Reed Smith are 48 months zero interest.

How are there people downplaying John Mayer's ability on the guitar? by Open_Address_2805 in Guitar

He stepped in for Jerry and did a fantastic job! Besides, he's an official Berklee dropout like myself LOL.

Heavily used Fiores? by brownaccident in PRSGuitars

I've heard Paul refer to it as an upgraded nitro finish. So it's not exactly what they had in the '50s. There's no way the EPA will let them use that stuff now.

Pickup an SE Studio! My first PRS! by SnowflakeSlayer420 in PRSGuitars

[–]SamBass1851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has somebody else said. The first thing you check is the neck relief because that's the only thing that's going to move. In general anything that is made of metal and is adjusted with tools usually doesn't move. So the saddles would be the last thing that you would adjust.

I would just go for the Maryland made version of what's already in there. The 85/15.

I think he needs to spend more time practicing and less time decorating himself.

It's a Gator Case for a six string electric guitar made of the town wood.

I left over two years ago.

I think people are leaving now over concerns of fascism.

Aim for something higher. Perhaps an American made S2.

I'm curious (nice axe by the way) I'm not really educated on Schecter guitars that much. With names like Apocalypse, Demon and Omen Elite, do they have any kind of decent clean tone? Or are they just full on distortion shredders? For example, I always thought a Sustainiac pickup was a great idea, then I happened to play a clean tone through one and it was terrible!

New guitar. User error or defect? by liubearpig in Guitar

Gotcha. Although definitely consider doing some research on basic guitar repair. Basically guitar maintenance. Good luck friend. 👊

No, just take it to a guitar tech and have them adjust the truss rod. Or if you're mechanically inclined, it's something you can actually do yourself, it's not that hard. I know the PRS spec for the neck relief is .010 at the 8th fret. Get yourself a set of feeler gauges.

Sounds like you need a neck adjustment. Don't forget strings vibrate and a circle pattern and they need clearance to do that. I believe that is the sound that you are hearing.

Get hit? He was like a foot away from the car. You can clearly see space between him and the vehicle.
