SE Studio Standard in pearl white with strap and locking tuners (not shown) gifted from the store since they dropped in price one day after my purchase, so they gifted me the price difference in accessories. My first (of many) PRS.
I’m strongly drawn to purchasing either an se custom 24, 24-08 or a ce24 for my birthday but I’ve always avoided guitars with a trem. I already have a guitar with a stop tail bridge and want something different.
Has anyone who owns an se custom 24, 24-08 or ce24 had any issues with tuning stability?
Hi everyone,
About three weeks ago, I bought my first PRS guitar, a PRS S2 Mira 594. I absolutely love it. The tone, playability, intonation, and overall feel are all amazing, and I couldn't be happier with it.
Yesterday, I noticed something strange for the first time. The upper (or left?) bridge stud has become almost completely dark. I assume it's some kind of oxidation or tarnishing. I've had guitars develop rust before, but that usually took years. This guitar is only three weeks old. These marks definitely weren't there when I bought it. I still have photos I took on the day I bought it.
Does anyone know what could have caused this? What puzzles me is that only the upper stud has tarnished, while the lower one still looks brand new. My picking hand usually rests on the bridge, so I know that area gets exposed to sweat, but can this much discoloration really happen in just three weeks?
I'm mainly wondering whether this is something I caused as a user, or if it's considered completely normal.
Have a great Sunday!
2020 Custom 24 in Black Gold Burst
I think I might sell my Core Studio at a loss. There is something else I want to purchase (non-music related), and if I sell the core at about $2,000.00, I can afford the new item. That’s about a 50% cut. I was waiting for this new item to come into stock and it has. But I don’t want to put it on my CC or touch my savings. So, this seems like the most logic way to purchase the new item. I have a lot of other guitars that I play. This one, not so much. Y’all think I might regret doing something like this?
Edit: after everyone’s feedback, I think I will go through with selling it. Seems like I was perhaps underselling just a tad. So I’ll list it for $2,500.00. I feel like that is a fair price. Let’s hope it sells.

... without the "Ed Sheeran" name on the truss rod cover 😛
One of the piezo strings (5th, low E) sounds slightly quieter than the other five. Any imput you might have about this is appreciated !
It's difficult to tell in this light, but this is am S2 Mira 594 Holoflake.
This is the first time I've ever purchased a guitar without playing it first, and I was feeling a bit uncertain about my decision before it arrived, but man, my expectations were met and and exceeded. It was ready to go out of the box and feels great in my hands. I'm most impressed with the range and quality of tones I can get out of it. I've only had it a couple days, so I'm still getting to know it, but so far it can sing and scream and chunk and chime and quack and cry with the best of em. I also think it looks pretty good. Anyway, I'm officially a fan and already thinking about the next one.
I'm letting it acclimate to the indoor temps after being in a truck at 90+ degrees for who knows how long. Can't wait to slap on some fresh strings and enjoy the tones. Shout out to Dave's Guitars of La Crosse, WI for a great buying experience.
..and yes the maple top just glows! A bit more "alive" than my flamed gold 513 next to it.
And no, I’m can’t buy one of the $15,000 PRS Private Stock guitars that already have it lol
25% off B-stock via Reverb, aside from the (disclosed) cracked jack plate I haven’t found a single flaw 🤘
Does anyone have an S2 Mira AND an S2 Vela with the Type D pickup? Or has anyone compared them side by side in person?
I would love to know how they compare! I am absolutely hooked. The Mira is staying with me forever. The Vela seems like it could possibly replace my Stratocaster but, I don’t wanna jump the gun.
To be fair, I haven’t played every single PRS model. I’m biased because I’m lucky enough to own a Wood Library 594. But to me this is like the quintessential PRS guitar, I think it’s easily the best model they’ve ever made. Obviously John Mayer had the same opinion when it came out. It’s like a perfect marriage of Les Paul esque tonality with more Fender type playability. My question is: why aren’t they more popular? I go to Guitar Center, just got back from Chicago Music Exchange, look at my local store’s website, and I couldn’t see a single one. Maybe they ARE so popular that they just fly off the shelf and I’m dumb but just curious.
Honestly! I picked up a new se ce24 and the salesman come around the corner and handed me this. Same price, though this one was used.
Also, can anyone help me figure out this color? It was listed as “TRANS GREEN” … but not finding anymore info on it.
I’m a producer/songwriter, started playing like 3 months back and the progress has been pretty decent
We don’t have a guitar center here in India but we do have private instrument dealers
One of these days I was at a store with my friend who went to buy an electronic drum set, while he was figuring it out I wandered into the guitar section and came across this piece but in gold and it played like a dream, probably one of the best guitars I’d played yet so I’d been wanting it ever since but in the ice blue metallic colour cuz I mean look at it
Cut to two months later, this baby is here and I am completely blown away by the playability, the tone of the pickups and the tremolo
Bar for bar it’s a bang for your buck, got it around $480.
