Comment on Enter to Win a Yamaha TAG3 C TransAcoustic Guitar and 12 Sets of Elixir® Strings by Jon https://acousticguitar.com/enter-to-win-a-yamaha-tag3-c-transacoustic-guitar-and-12-sets-of-elixir-strings/#comment-3992 Sun, 05 Jan 2025 04:46:00 +0000 https://acousticguitar.com/?p=146024#comment-3992 Being half-blind on a fixed income has made replacing my acoustic guitar impossible. Yamaha has never let me down in quality, and it’d be great to play again. So glad to be going blind instead of deaf!

Comment on Review: PRS SE A40E Angelus Acoustic-Electric Guitar Is a Workhorse Import That Overdelivers by Tony Warren https://acousticguitar.com/gear-review-prs-se-a40e-angelus-acoustic-electric-guitar/#comment-3988 Sat, 04 Jan 2025 02:17:50 +0000 https://acousticguitar.com/?p=132147#comment-3988 In reply to Tony Warren.

Correction
I can’t see any way to edit my original post? I bought the PRS online from Sweelee Vietnam, “not Sweetwater” and the strings are Elixir Nanoweb.

Comment on Review: PRS SE A40E Angelus Acoustic-Electric Guitar Is a Workhorse Import That Overdelivers by Tony Warren https://acousticguitar.com/gear-review-prs-se-a40e-angelus-acoustic-electric-guitar/#comment-3987 Sat, 04 Jan 2025 02:00:19 +0000 https://acousticguitar.com/?p=132147#comment-3987 I bought a PRS SE Angelus A40e online from Sweetwater Vietnam mid December 2024. It was advertised on special at 17,600,000 dong, reduced from 22,000,000 dong.

When it arrived, the neck had a noticable bow and there is a blemish on the corner of the head stock. It was obviously bumped at the Chinese factory and simply sprayed with clear lacquer. That is poor quality control and the manufactured date is June 2022! I complained to Sweetwater, who gave me a further discount.

I adjusted the neck with minimum relief, until the string height was 4/64ths inch from the bottom of the bass E string to the 12th fret with no fret buzz. I changed the PRS Classic 12 – 53 strings to Elixir Nanowed Custom Light 11 – 52, as I live in a salt air environment and play 60’s – 70’s Classic folk and rock.

After three gigs I am still undecided if I am happy with the overall sound. Folk songs sound fine, but when strummed harder for classic rock, it sounds a bit squalky in the videos?
