I think I have a new absolute #1 guitar.......

[WezV]

Wez - I guess that's why it's the board and not the neck!

yeah sorry, i wasnt being negative. although i would be hesistant to put a board like that on anything other than a very stiff neck (which you obviously have here)

damn pretty piece of wood

[Twinfan]

Yeah, it's really dark and you don't notice the figure so much at first.  Then as you look closer you can see what's going on....

I've not taken the back plate off to check out the wiring, so I don't know how it's wired.  I have a feeling it's like a 50s style LP is.  Rolling back the volume keeps the highs OK.

I switched one of my McCartys to this style wiring and it does the same thing.  I'm not a fan of the treble bleed mod when there's a simpler solution!

hang on a minute, so 50s-style wiring also keeps the highs when the vol is rolled down? interesting.

really nice wood on the fretboard there, thanks for the close-ups. nice clip too, sounds very nice, i especially liked the clean/semi-clean tones at the start. :)

Cheers Dave.  The Deluxe does what the Deluxe does - gets fat easy.  I'm going to try and get some Orion clips done...

I must admit I'm a little surprised by the heel of this guitar. I guess I'm spoilt with a neck-through design to have such a smooth heel to the guitar, though...

Nice crunchy tone, there. That doesn't look like a cleartone cable, though...! :P

They do like the big heels over at PRS, i think they used to be smaller but were increased for tone and sustain reasons, it looks lazy but its very intentional.   its definately a feature or PRS's i struggle

[Twinfan]

Very, VERY quick and dirty Orion clip done quickly before I head off to DC rehearsal.  Rev Willie G would NOT be proud!  :lol:

Nope, it's a free Rosetti one I use at home!

I'm not constantly playing at the 22nd fret, plus with the double cutaway and my wrapped over thumb I don't notice it!

You have that in common with Mr Ed Roman!  Nothing else, I'm sure.

I have a Darth Spud too.

i know, i was thinking that as i typed it.... i feel so dirty!!

I'm sure it plays and sounds nice, but I cant agree with that colour :P It looks really odd, like an old pair of jeans (and not in a good way). imo etc..

[hooglebug]

well it is called faded denim so i guess they're doing their job right hehe

[38thBeatle]

Lovely guitar Dave- great tone. I love the look of that fret board too. Sloe Gin has a great chord sequence for sure.

[Johnny Mac]

I'm a bit slow on the uptake on this one!  Due to a crazy week at work :crazy2:

I just knew you was going to get one of these Dave!  :lol: Good for you man, I bet its fantastic it certainly looks it. Congratulations  :D :D
