Website should be back up now

I try to make comments where possible - however one thing I've noticed is that when I click on a link, I go outside of the forum pages, and will listen to the songs on my cruddy $2 earphones (at work), usually I'll flick around some other windows, and when the song is finished I'll close off the window (depending on the site ... SoundCloud I'll usually close fast as it goes into other songs, which don't always reflect the current selection (ie I go from listening to acoustic guitar straight to a new wave dance tune), YouTube isn't so bad, but I might get a "10 fascinating facts about <insert something>", then I'll be down that path for a while, and I'll forget to come back and comment ...

I'll strive to make more comments, because I do listen ... just get distracted in the process .... and I'll try to right-click for a new window first ...

Sorry, but my website is down at the moment - I'll have to get it back up when I'm back at home ... meanwhile here is a live version from 1995:

Enjoy!!

Yes, African Zebra wood, I believe ...

No, there are push-pull pots for the coil splitting; the two switches are for pickup selection (Bridge/Both/Neck) and the other is for Passive/Active - the early model Bartolini pickups are really amazing in clarity and tone ....

More pics to drool over ....

I was always a fan of PRS guitars; when I was playing back in the 90's, they were always (price wise) out of reach. I saw my first couple in Kosmic music, and was taken my the shape and style of the guitar, could never afford one at the time ... fast forward to the 10's and PRS bought out the SE range, which were mostly affordable, due to moves in jobs, etc, so I finally bought a PRS in January 2011 (click pic for unboxing):

Which I then modded to have an internal Roland pickup system in September of that same year (click pic for installation story):

Then I realised I could afford the guitar I'd lusted after all those years ago, so bought a PRS CE (the early model) from eBay USA, I watched it for a while (months!) an the seller couldn't sell it, not sure why, it might be because everyone wants the 'tiger stripes' of a PRS, but I actually prefer the solid colours; anyway, the Aussie dollar was riding high against the US greenback, so finally bit the bullet, paid a bit for import taxes (anything over $au1k attracts a processing fee + 10% of value) and now own this beauty (the pic is after the clean up):

Even further down the track (last year), I bought a SAS (Swamp Ash Special) in green:

And I see there is another Red PRS Electric on Reverb at the moment .... although it's a bit beat up .... hmmmm .....

I like it!! Thumbs up!

I've found reverb.com to be an effective buy/sell market for musical instruments, and apparently they have cheaper fees than eBay ...

Thanks, saved to watch for later!!

Yes, it's been replaced by the AD-10, however I've seen a  few AD-3's in the USA on eBay .... for around the $100 mark ... with a new brand like Boss, you can buy it from eBay and if you don't like it after a month or two, put it back on eBay and sell it for around the same price ...
