29th June at 7pm - The BluTone Band Plays Oakington Village Day

 

Two for T?: PRS have done it again and reimagined a vintage favourite but would you pay £3k for one?

The PRS Guitars NF53 and Myles Kennedy  On June 21 2023, PRS announced the release of their new bolt on guitars, the NF53 and the Myles Kennedy signature guitar. Having already reimagined the S-Style with the help of one John Mayer, causing controversy as well as producing an army of Silver Sky players, PRS have turned their hands to the 'other style' guitar with the help of Alter Bridge's Myles Kennedy for the signature and Paul Reed Smith for the NF53 inspired by his own 1953 Vintage classic that is in his private collection. Both are maple necks with , 25.5" scale, 10" radius and 22 frets with subtly different body shapes.  Each model comes with their own colour options and, perhaps more importantly, also differ tonally. Both guitars use newly designed Narrow Field pickups that include longer bobbins to exaggerate the  windings, but they differ in specific design within this new category of pickup.  The NF53 utilises the traditional wiring pattern of a telecast...

Update on the PRS SE Starla repair.

  Some weeks ago, the problem I was having with my pick up selector switch on my PRS Guitars SE Starla (which has been with the guitar since I got it a year and a half ago), finally came to a head and made the guitar unusable.   I should have got it fixed during it's warranty period but thought it just needed some switch cleaner to fix the issue....How wrong was I!! Anyway the video below is about what happened next! Key Links: Find out more about the PRS SE Starla. Click here. Check out my YouTube Channel. Click here.
