Nice. Never really thought of PRS as an acoustic brand but my friend has one and it's pretty solid.

I almost stopped playing my 714 completely since I got my Helix. That thing is just too much fun.

Did you guys see players leaving PRS because they didn't issue a statement against racism?

Fender sent an email to me and posted about their view on shit. I sent them an email in return that I am sure went immediately into file 13.

Kiesel did the whole blackout avatar. I don't want to get political,I just thought the PRS thing was hilarious. Think PRS will survive.

I bought the PRS as a lot of reviews reckoned it was great bang for your buck, plus the neck profile made it more relatable for electric guitar players.

The purchase experience was 'fun'. It arrived on Tuesday, I opened box and took out the case and thought "wow acoustics are light". Yeah, the case was empty. Contacted customer service, bloke chased it and within an half an hour he had a reponse, the packing department had taken it out of the caee to check prior to shipping then forgot to put it back in the case. Anyway, it went in the post that day and arrived Wednesday, with a set of strings, bag of picks, clip on tuner and a capo in the box as a 'sorry for the hassle' gift.

I'm staying with a friend in Cincy who's a big PRS fan. He has an absurdly expensive custom hollowbody and a PRS SE Custom 24. The SE is like 1/8th the cost but I might like it more. It's got a wonderfully slim neck instead of the baseball bat that the hollowbody has.

I would say I have been playing guitar since I was 16 but there was a period of like 15 years that I didn't touch a guitar at all (thanks to the ex wife). So now I'm building the calluses back up and trying to get my old man hands to move like they use too. Took a portion of the basement to make a guitar corner. Pulled out my old stuff and got a few new things. Not everything is in this picture as some of my, now vintage, older stuff isn't being used.

Just found an unfortunate side effect to the calluses, I now suck at throwing curveball in Pokémon go, it is like the phone isn't fully registering my contact

I only just found out they make guitars that aren't black lol. My acoustic I think is the first one I've owned that isn't black in probably 25-30 years.

I'm enjoying my acoustic pretty well. More than I would have thought. The weight is a big plus and the reason I got it. It came really set up nice which is a surprise for a guitar at this cost. I got the string height gauge out and measured it today. Just below dead on the stats I could find for it. No fret buzz and innotation is dead on. Probably 20 hours of playing on it and haven't had to touch the tuning yet. Kind of the opinion they were using it as a demo and got the strigth stretch out of it before it was shipped why it came with no box.

Van anyone recommend a decent tuner app? I have ordered a clip on but I was hoping to try and use an app, i cant find one to get my G string in tune, i tried a mando one and guitartuna neither are giving very good results.

Sorry I use a clip on or an old one that you plug the instrument cable into.
