Hello,
I am thinking about getting a PRS Singlecut SE. It is the Korean model. All the reviews seem to be positive and it sounded pretty good in the store. I play mostly slide.
Has anyone ever used or seen this type of guitar for slide?
Has anyone replaced the pickups on this type of guitar? I have a SD Antiquity Neck PU in my current guitar and wonder if that would work with the PRS.
I am fairly new to slide and like to try Allman, Trucks type of stuff.
Thanks,
T.
I haven't heard the guitar personally, but looking at the specs, it seems perfect for the Allman sound, depending on how it's amped and played, and a screaming deal to boot. And you can always change pickups.
What's your current rig?

Hello Crow,
I currently have a ESP EC-50. It has the SD Antiquity in the neck. I use GHS Boomers 11's. The amp I have is a Vox VT15.
Sounds decent for my level but not really there for the tone I'm looking for. I was thinking of trying my current guitar on a Blues Jr. amp and also the Singlecut through a Blues Jr. to see how they did.
Thanks,
T.
Hard to duplicate another player's sound. If I were going for an Allman/Trucks sound, I'd go for humbuckers with tone slightly rolled back, into a Marshall-flavored amp or amp model (you probably have one on the Vox), using a lightweight glass slide and no picks. You might try that combo with the ESP, if you haven't already.
