I became the proud owner of this PG over the weekend, following a great part-ex deal with Sound Affects against my Explorer. It’s a used 2020 model - a few marks here and there that mean I don’t need to be precious with it, and it sounds delicious!

I had a 2013 one too for a couple of years and really enjoyed it. I can’t recall clearly enough to tell the exact differences, but the TCI-version 408s in the ‘new’ one are superb and very, very usable in all positions.

I’m also regularly playing through an S2 594 McC, and one of the rad SE HBii Piezos; this one compliments both pretty damn well - though I’m still planning to move the S2 on as it’s a little duplicative with some of my other gear. It’s also the first time in a while I’ve had a Core, S2, and SE model in my possession side-by-side, a good time for comparisons methinks!

    I had to check my guitar stand when I saw that picture, our guitars are twins! Mine is more responsive to pick dynamics and tonal changes from picking position etc than any other guitar I've played over the last 40 years, and rings like a  bell. Great score!

    Hehe - thank you, brother! :mrgreen:   Agreed, that was very much my impression the last time around too - I have absolutely no rational reason as to why I sold the last one! 

    This 'new' one's a little more understated than the last (below), but that's part of the appeal to me if I'm honest! :)

    It does indeed, though his finish obviously came a lot earlier! That one had the yellow and green tinges too in different lights - pretty cool to see in person, especially with the ultra curly top.

    Heck that article is a year old . They have changed or at least reversed the meanings of most of that just so the Gen-X and Boomers don’t try to keep up

    This guitar is utterly superb, such a brilliant and easily accessible range of tones in there from those 408 pickups! I've not actually picked up my 594 or SE HBii to compare with yet, this has been hard to put down :)

    I swapped out some of the plastics, and added some unplated brass posts as the stock ones were a bit chewed up from someone using the wrongsize screwdriver - I like the hybrid hardware look on PRSi anyway, even if the new pieces are outrageously priced for what they are!

    I saw that in SAF a few weeks ago. Total bargain.
    They’re brilliant brilliant models. I’ve gigged a private stock a fair bit and it’s got amazing cut through, brilliant single coil tones and the brushstroke birds are my favourite. 
    Great score

    Yup, I feel I lucked out with the pricing on this, and the part-ex they offered me for the Exp as very fair too (i.e. my private sale asking price!). I actually sold my last PG for more than this one was listed at, though that had a ‘fancier’ top and the old-style paisley (bot anchor) case.

    @boogieman it’s just shorthand for “Paul’s Guitar” which is the model name of this one, essentially the signature model of the man himself

    Cheers, I was thinking, PG? Paul Gilbert? Then I realised I’d never actually seen him with a PRS. Lol. 

    I’m not normally a fan of blingy tops but that’s a very cool looking guitar.

    Two-month update: This thing is (still) bloody brilliant, why oh why did I sell the first one?! Let's assume the honeymoon period will last a while longer... although this one has since seen two more guitars and a new amp arrive too.

    I can't really fault anything about the stock configuration, though if I were to ever go private stock (I wouldn't) then I'd add a second volume control a la DGT. It's an elegantly simple and effective configuration, and these pickups really do need to be heard in-person - they should have a cult following imo, and I'd love to be able to put them into more of my guitars and future builds.



    Hmm... @OilCityPickups what're the chances of being able to reverse-engineer them / create something similar? Tooling would be prohibitive for big runs, but I could draw up and 3D print some bobbins perhaps.

    The bobbins are the issue ... reverse enginearing the pickups is not hard ... just time consuming.

    Np, I'll get measuring - it could be fun! mrgreen 

    Apparently they're both ~8.98k output, and some sort of AlNiCo mag. I haven't checked the sizes yet but I've got various ones here to swap in, hopefully I'll find a match and make some assumptions about the alloy from that. :)

    As I get older, I’ve started to appreciate these guitars more.  Late happy NGD.

    Thank you :)


    I get some of the dislike/apathy about them, they’re easily written off as an overly fancy and/or expensive brand, but for me they consistently hit the sweet-spot of what I like more than any other that I’ve found to date. I got my first US-one at ~19yo (a ‘98 Cu22) and I’ve been lucky enough to have a bunch more since then.


    - Update on my PS wishlist - put the PG pickups into a HBii Piezo model… gigging bliss. I’m going to have to make my own version next year and see how it goes.
