I swear it followed me home....

So I had to make a run to the local music store, as I had misplaced my can of De-Oxit.  I got their last can.  Oh, yeah, and this somehow made it to the till


A Custom 22 Artist in Trans Purple.  I swear these guys see me coming from a mile away.

And here's the kicker - when I was restringing it, I found me old can of DeOxit in my string bag.  That's the second time this week all it's taken for me to find something I lost was to go out and buy a new one.

My wife's eyes rolled completely around in her head.

Dude. You need to come back to Yorkton again. My local shop is a PRS dealer also.

That's one nice looking guitar. I like the gold hardware on it fer sure.

Secondly, keep your eyes open for a good deal on an SE Singlecut (master tone/volume, non-trem) for me. I wants one, and getting good deals there on CL or Kijiji or in the shops will be way easier than here.

Will do.  L&M usually has a SC used every once and a while.  Last one I saw there was 280.  No, wait, thats not tru, last one I saw was a Frderik Akesson signature with an aftermarket bigsby.

At $280 I'd trust you could talk em down a bit and with shipping I'd pay less than buying one here in SK. But that Akesson with bigsby sounds like fun.

It is, but it's a heavy guitar.  Have to fix the wiring, i dont like pauls lp wiring diagrams.

Yeah, between the LP type and the Bigsby...

I don't know about how PRS wires things, but I don't like dual volume/tone types in any case. Consider going with the Gretsch wiring which uses a master tone, and a master volume, but with a pair of independent volumes for each pickup. I like it because you don't have to 'ruin' a guitar by just removing two pots, but you still get both the master volume and the independent volumes many people do like with Paul types.

Awesome impulse buy! ;)

I own a custom 22, absolutely my favorite guitar. If it got stolen I would kill the thief and three people who looked like him too.

+1 on the SE singlecut.  I had a PRS Tremonti SE model many years ago and it was a sweet playing guitar.  I upgraded the pickups, electronics, had a proper nut cut for it, and installed a pigtail adjustable intonation bridge.  What a player!  I basically played the thing so much out when I was gigging that I wore out all the frets.  Supreme value for the money and with a set neck, you can't really go wrong.
