NGD-PRS Studio

I should probably have my head examined but it was just too good to pass up.

Wow very pretty and interesting pic up set, it should really rock with the Supro

I had a Kawasaki 250 Samurai way back when , that I pained with the same color scheme (sans the flamed maple )

It just hit me that these are U of O Ducks colors! I'll be giving this a run-through at rehearsal tonight...fortunately the guys are all Duck fans.

I haven't yet run it through the Supro , but it's killer through my Line 6 DT-50 (through an Avatar 1x12 Celestion V30).

Ha.. except I did the paint job on mine and it was much more like the top picture of the PRS
The paint was a metal fleck yellow gold fading into candy apple lime green edges

I have a Studio too. Your is prettier.

[DavidE]

Sharp! I love my PRS electrics.

Congratulations on your lovely new guitar!

Congrats! I'm not familiar with the Studio model. Is the pair of mini humbuckers always found on it?

Yep...the Studio models have the "narrow-field" pickups in the neck & center and a five position blade switch like a Strat. I'm not sure whether or not the NFs are also 57/08 pickups...their verbiage seems to indicate that they are, but they're not marked as such. Either way, they're great sounding pups, very Strat-like for a 'bucker, with a nice high-end sheen but with a little extra warmth in the low-end.

The 57/08 bridge pickup is absolutely stunning, either as a full 'bucker or tapped for single-coil mode. No level loss at all in tapped mode, just spanky, bright punch, almost like a really good Telecaster. These pickups clean up really nice when backing off on volume...leads me to assume that they have some kind of treble-bleed circuit in there.

I played this for the first time at rehearsal last night, through my Butler Tubeworks TD-752 combo with a 1st gen Line 6 POD in front of it. Oh. My. God. Spectacular tones and versatile in the extreme, ranging from Fender Strat/Tele or roll it off a bit for nice singing Les Paul tones. Superb balance & weight...seriously comfortable to play with a nice neck profile, 25" scale, really smooth & precise vibrato that stays in perfect tune no matter how aggressive I get with it.

Incidentally, I was looking at the PRS site because this guitar unfortunately no longer has the truss rod wrench & spare tuner locking screws...getting set to order these just to have them handy. While there, I found that they now have the 57/08 pickups available for sale! They aint cheap, but man, what a fantastic upgrade to a 'bucker-equipped ax!

OMG Johnny want! That's over the top gorgeous! And it goes with my favorite beer.

That is a really cool color on that guitar. Beautiful!

I've heard great things about the 57/08 pickups. I know that PRS has recently made some of their pickups available for sale and yep, very pricey. Enjoy your Studio!

Now I have a decision to make...





Pretty sure I'm keeping the green one though.

Go Ducks! Looks great. Congratulations!
