PRS Chinese Copy - Demo after complete set up

As promised when I did the unboxing, here is the demo of the guitar now it is set up.
Set up included:

• Replacement of linear volume pot for logarithmic 500k pot.
• Truss rod adjustment after re-stringing with 'proper' strings [D'Addario EXL 125's]
• Saddle height adjustments to correct the action for the properly set up neck
• Fret file on high 6th fret to level that
• Saddle intonation adjustment
• Nut sauce application to nut and bridge [although I have a Tusq if needed]

Still to do:
• Tone pot replacement with series capacitor & resistor to eliminate top end roll off when using less than 100% on the volume control
• Entwistle Darkstar pickup's to be installed to swap out Epiphones that it came with
Possible further investments undecided:
• Swap out the nut for Tusq [however it stayed in tune for 35 songs and 2 1/2 hour gig last night so I am pretty sure the nut sauce is going to suffice and tone from the chinese nut is not at all bad]
• Locking tuners - I would like either Gotoh or Schaller style lockers as we all know prs tend to come with locking tuners as standard. Again the tuners on it are fine and keep tune and I have to keep telling myself that I am not doing this to 'make' a PRS - It will NEVER be a PRS so I most likely with stick with the decent tuners it has and save a few quid for another purchase.
The demo is of a wedding gig my band did and it was also the first gig I did with my new BOSS GT100 which is an incredible bit of kit and I will be doing a review on that as soon as I can as it is a real game changer for me. It has been 10 years since I played with anything in the signal chain between me and either my Marshall 2210 JCM 800, Carslbro GLX85 Ltd Ed. or VOX AC30DT. I am such a traditionalist normally and the thought of no amp at a live show is completely out of my comfort zone, but...hey...if you don't move with the times then you go backwards! I was totally blown away by the sound it produced - so much clearer and literally like having my Marshall close miked with a 57! The guys from the band loved it too, but I wonder if they thought that was down to the new PRS Private Stock????

Ha!!

I haven't told them yet that the second PRS is a china made fake! I really wanted to see their reaction to it just as a guitar before I told them so I was waiting until I gigged it. So perhaps the next video might be my 'COME CLEAN' video at the next band rehearsal. Let me know what you think in the comments.

My thanks as always to the lovely folks on You Tube who have helped and supported me so far:- Davesintexas, JB SB, Telepathic Traffic, Squazoo, Dino etc etc. - sorry if I missed anyone ;0)

ROCK ON!
