Who plays music?

What is nuts or me is that I played Gibson's so long that I only liked that scale length.  Switching to Strats and Teles felt so weird to me.  Now the scale length bothers me on Les Pauls as much as the Fenders and others used to.  I actually have 10.5's on my Les Paul just to kind of compensate for the tension difference.

I will say, there is still nothing better than a Les Paul when you're using a decent amount of gain.  No matter what pickups I've tried in an HSS I can never get anywhere close to a real LP sound.  And I still think a Gibson is a superior guitar.

PS Kinda jelous about your PRS.  I guess that's kind of the best of both worlds.  You get a scale length right in between, coin splitting and a trem.  Seems like you can cover a lot of ground with that.

Yeah the scale on the PRS is super comfortable to play.

I also like that you can roll back the volume and cut gain without losing your high/mid/low frequencies too much.

To answer your question about the trems on those.  I wouldn't know.  I haven't used it.

I used to use trems all of the time back in the day but now I just don't gravitate to it.

I can do tricks and stuff with it and roll runs with it(like Vai does)but rather not mess with tuning stability.

Some trem on clean chords is nice but not enough to mess with it for me.
