I was recently offered this 2011 SC-58 in trade for my 2020 McCarty in Fire Red Burst, non 10-top. From what I understand the SC would have an Artist top, which is cool. Mine has the original case and all candy, it appears the case for the SC is either aftermarket or one of the Hollowbody style cases. Anyway, I’m curious what you guys may think about value difference. I see values for the McCarty’s a lot more than the SC-58’s since they were a little limited in run numbers.

I am looking to sell off one my PRS guitars, a core studio in cobalt blue. I originally wanted to sell it for 2k, but I think that might be asking too much. Thoughts? Maybe $2,700.00 is more realistic?

i contacted this person he is selling me this for pkr 340k
$1220 due to high taxes in pakistan
but im not sure if these are scratches or old guitar can anyone check

Hi all, got this 2013 SE and the pickups are having a hard time convincing me, it’s the HFS/Vintage, I have a semi hollow SE with Alnico 2 Toneriders and they sound amazing, the vintage seems better but the HFS no matter the configuration and preset I can’t get a tone that I would call it killer, time to upgrade?? What are the options? I measured and the bridge it’s around 14.5k ohms

It arrived almost in tune, has a sweet matte neck feel, and I’m quite happy with how it sounds (casual player). Considered Yamaha, Fender, and LTD before pulling the trigger on this one.

Got this at the weekend, feels great to play and really like these pickups compared to the 85/15’s in my S2

First big kid guitar. Coming off a worn but servicible squire, this is a totally new experience. It plays so easily and fits very well. The finish is great and everything arrived well sorted. New strings are great but the factory ones weren't terrible. I really love the look but when I spent a little time on it I was hooked.

My new to me 09 DGT had unoriginal poor fitting knobs. I ordered a set of USA 24 spline from PRS. Only the second volume knob fit decent. The push-pull wouldn’t fit at all. The first volume knob fit but was a bit loose and went down too far. The knob was rubbing slightly on the body. I pulled the back plate to see if the pots had been replaced. They looked original to me. After further inspection inspection of the shafts themselves it tells a different story. One is Brass fine splined and short, one is brass, fine splined and tall, the push pull is zink, coarse splined (metric?) and tall. If they are indeed mix matched imported replacements would I be doing my guitar a disservice by not returning to the originals? This is the nicest guitar I own. Check out the pics and please help me with this!! Ive purchased 2 sets of knobs already with. No luck. Ill post more pics in the comments

Wondering if anybody has any experience with this PRS. Seems like a good deal.

Super excited to start playing again. Just wanted to share.

I’m absolutely loving this 2016 Custom 24 and surprised how quick I acclimated to the rotary tone switch! Neck is thinner than my 1996 McCarty I had to sell years ago, but I’m not trying to get all nostalgic and remember that this guitar fits my playing style so much better today than when I started out - so in reality this guitar is all around perfect for me from a playability standpoint.

With that said, the top was a huge consideration when purchasing because I wanted to LOVE it through and through. The flashy finishes and bursts are awesome in their own right and I totally get why people buy them, but I wanted something a bit more unique and not something you run into all the time. I had a semi-hollow SE Custom 22 from the mid 2000’s run in the natural finish and absolutely loved it (massively underrated IMO) but had a hard time looking at it everyday after a while. That’s said, this 10 top is in a different universe, comparatively, but I still get a hint of that dislike factor because of the one I used to have. I’ve seen stains on other models fade, bleed, darken and lighten, so I was wondering if this one will potentially darken over time. Not a lot, but enough to give it a little more character.

TLDR; Will a natural finish on a 2016 Custom 24 darken at all over time? Love it as is, but curiously optimistic that it can/will. The picture was taken in the dark with a flash, so it’s actually slightly lighter than that in person. Thanks!
