PRS bolt-on vs. set neck

Re: PRS bolt-on vs. set neck

The biggest difference between a Custom set-neck and a CE bolt-on is that the Custom has a mahogany neck and the CE a maple neck, and this affects the guitar's tone significantly... The neck joint is the same for both instruments, just the Custom uses glue to hold the neck in place and the CE uses steel bolts and a plate, but the heels should be the same size between a CU24 and a CE24... As far as the trems are concerned, they are a very well built 6-screw trem with notches scored into the screws so that when everything is adjusted properly, they really hold their tuning. You can easily adjust them to float - mine does, and I have about 1½ tones up-bend. They're milled steel, not rolled, heavy, and solid... they work great [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

I have a Mccarty in my stable, which I like very much.I think I am also going to pickup a nice green flame CE-22 I have been eyeing for a week or so.

But I tell ya, if there are two guitars that dont go, no matter what, its my SL2h, and its definitely, my Wolfie standard.

Wolfies are incredible. A must try.

Toe Jam I have only owned Customs myself but have played the CE's. I really don't like PRS but I would honestly say that the CE's are a pretty good value the neck joint is similar and the bolt plate is deeper in the body. The best thing about PRS guitars are the tuners... They hold real well...
