I got this and put a $30 brass block on, tightened springs to hardtail the bridge, put steel gotoh saddles on, swapped stock nut to a genuine prs nut, omega in bridge, air norton in neck, and cut all the tone caps out. I tightened all the tuners so they feel better but they still feel like ass but work. Oh and swapped chrome pickup mounting screws to black.

How does the bolt on neck manifest in comparison to the SE custom in terms of playability and sound?

They knocked it out of the park with this one! I'm not a PRS person but putting quality 1st and cutting costs where they needed is IMO the PERFECT balance. I can work with a quality build and help it out. I cannot start with junk and make it into much of anything but a waste of my time. Got the red one in my basket waiting for it to arrive. Beautiful instrument!

Great video and terrific tones! When I think of Death Metal PRS players first one to come to mind is Ryan Knight from The Black Dahlia Murder! He plays "dad guitars" per the other band members!

Could you tell me what tuning you used for this video? With the amount of distortion used in metal, many guitars just sound generic. This PRS sounded better to me, but I’m really interested to know your tuning. Thank you for making and posting this video!

Hell ya! Sweet set up. 🤘🏻

New player, late Boomer. Bought the Turquoise Satin. It's a beauty. I lesson on a Squier HSS Affinity, and the PRS is my treat after playing the Squier. The wider nut and less radius on the neck makes for easier playing.

How does it compare to orange dark terror?

Great review. I picked one up a couple weeks ago and it really can't be beat for the price. Also sweet track and playing, thank you for playing metal. Most demos are generic blues rock type stuff, and it was sweet hearing the instrument plays skilfully in this style.

This guy makes me feel like I'm in trouble. Lol

Love the maple neck, really makes the darker colours stand out more than if it were all dark.

Great video! It took me 11 months to get mine from Moore Music. I think this one is probably the 1st real metal guitar from PRS. Still not cheap at $2700, but much better than 5K+ for a custom 24. You just can't beat PRS when it comes to QC. The guitars are worth what they cost. With all due respect to Dustie's specs....I didn't love the pickups. I've always been an active guy, so I put the Fishman KSE set in mine. This damn thing is a fire breather now.

Hell yeah man!! You sound freakin' badass. Great video.

Nice!!! Decisions Decisions. I’m gassing between the HT DW and the new Wolfgang EVH semi hollow.

What model eminence speakers are in the vader cab?

Oh no not the gig bag😂

dang that is gorgeous.

Shouldn't be buying PRS SEs after your teens lol

That is a sick ass guitar!!! I love that maple neck with the black and green.

Question how is the noise level of the amp and were you using noise gate ?

I wanted one of those so badly after I saw your video back then. I went to order one, but that wait is absolutely ridiculous, so I got an EB MM Sabre instead. Win! I'm happy for you that it's finally arrived.

Nice demo! I am tempted. Good to see it handles a lower tuning as I am playing a lot of C-standard and Drop A# these days. \m/ Take care!

Very nice! I got mine a while back, must've got lucky with the shipping or something. It's a monster for sure!

Wonder if you can change the power tubes to 6L6's without any issues other than rebiasing.

Shredders guilt

About a month ago I was down in Texas, stopped in at an EZPawn, New Braunfels Ave, San Antonio, and found a nice Ibanez hollow body and Peavey amp for 200 on the pair. They threw in a gig bag. Everything works great - who can complain about this stuff? Killer pawn shop deals are the future of mankind.

Dude 😅

I was literally going to pull the trigger on the exact same one yesterday (black) that popped up in my area…you’re not helping 😂 I love those 25” SE7s (already have one). Congrats!

Why cant i find them anywhere?

Great video. I got a PRS CE (USA) and I was shocked at how much I loved the 85/15 TCI pickups. I expected them to not be able to do metal based on the DC resistance documented on PRS website, but man they are great.

Is that a 5150 iconic cabinet

The eq pedals add just a little more push in the frequencies I like and can adjust for. They’re both set pretty flat with a touch of boost for the highs and lows. The Tube Screamer adds a bit of boost as well but I try to use the amps’ for as much of the gain as possible, mainly to dial back a bit of the hiss and hum that comes from the amps’ pre-amps when maximizing gain.

Fascinating - so am I understanding correctly that there are two boosts going on? The tube screamer and the EQ boost? Love it! Radial makes AMAZING stuff!

Individual power supply…nope. Won’t be buying that. That’s a load of crap. Just more stuff to plug in

Your video is very beautiful. I like it a lot. I have been trying to talk to you for a long time. I am waiting for your response. Please give me a chance to talk to you.💜👌👌

Hell yeah guys, cool stuff

I was thinking of getting this or the Kemper power rack I’m not sure yet

I just feel embarrassed that I’m thinking of changing pups of my PRS. There’s definitely other important thing, that might be practicing🤣

Great guitar playing. Take off the mask 😂

I have the 5150iii 6L6 for 6 years now, not planning to sell it but I want to buy the Archon. Seems like the Archon has a different character especially in the mids.

POV: every guitar players dream

Awesome video Willis!!

That charcoal one is stunning! I've had my eye on the 594 model because I just can't deal with a Floyd Rose haha.

I'd love to see a video or even just a short, there's only a handful of decent videos showing off the jade smokeburst

Nice comparison, tight chops!
