Warning for those SE user wanting to upgrade pickups
I recently purchased a prs SE CE24, the 2026 one with the rounded pickup rings.
I can confirm that my set of USA Tremonti pickups do not fit those rings , I tried to cut the rings to fit , but I've made a horrible mess of it and had to order a new set of pickup rings.
Be warned if you're attempting an upgrade yourself.

Stage one of my Silver Sky upgrades are complete
I bought this guitar with the intent on learning some luthier skills after a VERY bad experience with my local luthier. I've made some mistakes along the way, but with how great this guitar plays now, I don't regret a single bit of the journey.
Parts:
PRS Lampshade knobs
Black Pickguard from Silver sky mod shop
John mann Bridge replacement parts (block + Saddles)
Grover 3+3 Safety post tuners
Seymour Duncan Custom Shop Stra-Bro 90s made by MJ herself
CTS volume control
CTS pull pots x2 to control the Coil tap
CRL switch
Fret level and crown with proper fallaway
my next stage will include repainting the guitar orange in some nitrocellulose lacquer and fitting a genuine bone nut. I would also like to experiment with changing the fretboard radius and getting some bigger stainless frets installed.

First PRS?
So a little backstory I am really sold on getting a Custom 24 as a played one on a vacation and it was just amazing.
However in my area I don’t have an easy way to try out different models of PRS before I buy them. The model I tried was an S2 so I know I would love it but I’m wondering if it might be smart to save the money and go to the SE model. Is the difference large enough to demand the higher price tag?
Also as a side note how do you feel about 24 vs 24-08.

NGD : SE Ed Sheeran Hollowbody I Piezo Baritone, Kaleidoscope
...without the "Ed Sheeran" name on the truss rod cover. It's the very last member of the family, I'm absolutely done and good with the GAS.
One of the piezo strings (5th, "low E"), sounds slightly quieter than the 5 other strings. Any imput you might have about this is appreciated !

McCarty 594 sun shot. PRS calls this finish “purple mist”. Looks charcoal to me.

Got a great deal on this PRS Core McCarty in Holoflake finish. I couldn’t stop thinking about it after seeing it in the store, and the McCarty III pickups sound great! I might eventually switch to locking tuners, if I play it enough to matter - since right now I’m in too much awe/afraid of damaging it spend much time playing it. I’m joking (kind of), I know it was made to be played, but it is a magnificent work of art as well. I fully intend to carefully play the heck out of it and enjoy the sparkly nitro finish aging with me. Well done Paul Reed Smith.

2025 NF53 Sprayer’s Choice
Picked this up this week. In regular lighting, it is kind of a dark forest green/black.
But with a light shining on it…..
Wonderful guitar, besides the sparkle show.

IS DROP B LOW ENOUGH?
Normally live in drop F# on my ormsby but fell in love with my studio workhorse 6 after a string change.
Felt djentlemanly. Might delete later.
