Beauty!This may or may not be my best guitar, but it's the very last one I'll ever let go. It doesn't have a name, it's a PRS Modern Eagle (the original series) with Brazilian rosewood neck and fretboard, pickups upgraded to 59/09s, and fancy new(er) lampshade knobs. This thing rings like a bell, sustains phenomenally, and the bare neck and satin finish just feel dead sexy.
It has Duncans - Full Shred in the bridge and SSL-6 in the middle/neck.
Didn't like the back-angled single coil? I really dig the gold ones!
Always wanted to get a Lifeson Axcess Les Paul if I ever get another one.... very nice twins (not identical twins)
This is the coolest guitar rig pic I've seen in a long time... simple and gorgeous. I'd love to try the Edwards!
The single in the bridge was actually a humbucker, but I've never found a single coil-sized humbucker I liked. Got a cheap template from Musiclily and did an Eddie on it. The gold is the best color in the dk22 line and this one is a featherweight.
If you mean the Red one
I bought it in 1994 used and never researched the model year. I'm super low-tech on my guitars, I don't care about the model or color as long as they sound good and feel right. people will aske me what model that guitar is and I way Blue or Red. lol
Been thinking about replacing my JB with a 78. I really would like to do the EVH Frankie but it's only got 2 wires. I need to split/tap coils with the HSS arrangement. Plus I'm not sure how well that pickup will gel with the Charvel, which is much heavier and different wood. Maybe a Woflie? I do know that I want I high output p/u because of the contrast of the low output singles. That's they key for that guitar's clean to mean. And of course the treble bleed, which is a must. I believe the 78's put out around 9ish but are hot wired. I have a Thornbucker plus in my Warmoth and it sounds great, behaves like a mid output should but doesn't have the drive that the EVH and SD JB has. I may do a Suhr Aldrich or try the Alnico II JB. The regular JB seems to 'generic'. That being said it does rock and I like it better than the Dimarzio SD that came with the guitar.
Before you replace that JB, you could try lowering it to improve clarity(if that's what you're missing). I've tried the 78 in a number of guitars, mostly Charvels and my 5150, and it never worked until I put it in "Goldfinger" and mounted it lower. Much better clarity but still plenty of output, especially in the mids. The JB in my old San Dimas worked much better after I lowered it, too. I would think you would have to run the Frankenstein or the Wolfgang lower as they are fairly high output pickups, very similar to the Custom Custom I have in my 5150. I'm not familiar with Suhr pickups....
I was super-interested in these seven-string models, but didn't want to spend $4k+ on a first 7-string guitar, lol. They look cool, I've seen Jason Kui play one.
mkay…
