I'm definitely interested in trying out another PRS when I get the chance. It was a little overpriced for the issues that I had with it, but it's all water under the bridge now. I've had some sort of a love-hate relationship with it, but I just got done playing it for the first time in a while, and I found nothing to complain about currently. It could almost be used as a bass with the humbucker on the lower strings, but with the coil split, it's really bright and guitar like all over the neck. Upgraded the tuners, slapped on some heavier strings, tuned down to A standard, and wow, it's extremely versatile. It had some QC issues, and I found the factory set-up left something to be desired, as well, but there really wasn't anything that I couldn't address myself. It wasn't perfect out of the box, but it offered a lot of guitar for the price. The only PRS that I have is a PRS SE 277, which I got because I really wanted a baritone, and I was concerned that a Gretsch or Bass VI would be too much like playing a bass (and didn't see any other options at that time). Includes a case which has been crudely modified to fit the odd shape (but works!).Beautiful guitar. ‘’Lots of character’’ as real estate agents say. The bridge pickup is an original 1970’s CuNiFe Wide Range Humbucker (sourced online from another guitar) and the neck pickup is a 2000’s Japanese Ceramic Magnet reissue.Īn excellent player and great sounding guitar. The electronics are all DiMarzio pots (500K) with a 1Meg Master Vol pot. The frets have been professionally fret dressed and have approx 70% left. The Back was originally sprayed Black but was later sanded back for a new respray (which never eventuated). The face has been fully cut and polished to gloss. The body was cut back completely and fully sealed in Nitro-Cellulose sealer (the neck still retains the original finish/seal) the top face was then re-finished in a traditional three-tone sunburst/tobacco burst (hand sprayed without template) in Nitro. The restoration process saw the heinous strat switch cavity being plugged, and the rear access hole being cleaned up with added under-trim to allow a new guard to be dropped in (not included). They also cut a ‘Les Paul Style’ control panel hole in the back to access the pots. Some previous maniac had installed single coil pickups and had cut a rectangular slot to fit a 5-way strat style switch next to the lower f-hole (see pic). Luckily the neck is unscathed except for a removed/faded logo. The tuners, bridge, neck, body and neck plate are all original and the body was stripped back to natural. This Starcaster has been restored by the seller originally purchased as a Neck and Body only. The infamous answer to Gibsons’ ES-335 that found little favour when originally released and has now become a cult classic. All World Music! String, Wind, Percussion and Other!
