But I can say that it generally stays pretty well in tune, as far as I'm concerned - I might tune it one day, play for a couple hours, and come back the next day and find it perfectly in tune still (when I retune). I'm no expert at restringing, either, but I think I did an OK job with that. I went from 9 to 10 gauge strings with my first restringing and it was dead easy to open up the back and adjust the springs to get the bridge perpendicular again. PRS has a setup page for reference:

As for the PRS, I played one with the trem but it constantly went out of tune. However, it was a GC special, so maybe the problem was due to bad (or NO) set-up and abuse. It's hard to tell there. Long story, but I've made a decision to stay out of GC. (It'll be easier since I'm not allowed to buy anything anyway, but I've really had it with them, and I won't be returning. Not even online. :x ) Anyway, my thought is to play like crazy for the coming year and then, possibly, to buy a higher-end PRS w/trem. (Always scheming... :oops: ) Since I played one finally, I now understand the draw. They really are fantastic as so many say!

Thanks to Voidious, too, for the gray/black comment and good wishes! That helps make me feel that I made a good decision. But what about that trem????? :roll:]]> Guitar Players Discussion musica23 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/tele-spalted-maple-hh/#post-255519 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/tele-spalted-maple-hh/#post-255503 Fri, 20 Jul 2007 19:09:58 +0000
I finally saw the grey/black SE Custom in person when I was out of town a couple weeks ago - so, so gorgeous! Enjoy the new guitar(s) ;)]]> Guitar Players Discussion Voidious https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/tele-spalted-maple-hh/#post-255503 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/tele-spalted-maple-hh/#post-255498 Fri, 20 Jul 2007 18:51:34 +0000
While on the PRS site, I saw this... I love it...



In therms of the Custom, I played one at a local guitar shop and it was a very nice instrument. I prefer the black/grey model with the zebra pickups. I think the trem is the way to go with PRS. You get the best of the Gibson and Fender worlds with a PRS with a trem.]]> Guitar Players Discussion The Dali https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/tele-spalted-maple-hh/#post-255498 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/tele-spalted-maple-hh/#post-255482 Fri, 20 Jul 2007 18:08:31 +0000
Tele Pics

Thanks for your interest so far...sorry if I'm giving anyone more to obsess on. :( Oh, how I understand that. As a result of my preoccupation/shopping habits, my hubby had me (made me!) sign a sworn statement that I will not purchase another guitar until at least July of 2008! Of course it won't hold up in court, though... :twisted: (I'll stick to it...he's actually right and has been more than patient and generous.)

So, after my PRS SE Custom comes in, that's it for a year. I can do it! I know I can! (I'll have to stay off this site... :cry: )

Any feedback, btw, on the PRS? I ordered a gray/black Custom stoptail. I had a heckuva time deciding between that and the cherry 'burst, and whether or not to get a trem. Here's that link:

SE Custom

I honestly think the 'burst is beautiful, but I have a cherry 'burst Strat and some other guitars in the red family. The gray/black is also beautiful in person, but not as showy or noticeable, I guess. It's probably less common, too. But I could flip a coin and I'd be happy with either! Anyway, all feedback (especially on the SE trem system...no locking tuners and no more $$$ for any mods!) and opinions welcomed! It may even be too late by now, but I'd be interested to hear what you all have to say. Thanks! :)]]> Guitar Players Discussion musica23 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/tele-spalted-maple-hh/#post-255482 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/tele-spalted-maple-hh/#post-255476 Fri, 20 Jul 2007 17:37:53 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion TwistedLefty https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/tele-spalted-maple-hh/#post-255476 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/tele-spalted-maple-hh/#post-255473 Fri, 20 Jul 2007 17:31:00 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Elecktrablue https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/tele-spalted-maple-hh/#post-255473
