3. The Quicksilver is also available in solid
rosewood just
like the extremely expensive PRS guitars but for less than half thecost.
4. The Quicksilver is available with ebony fret boards. PRS
does not come that way. In fact the Quicksilver is available with many
different fingerboards, unlike the PRS.
5. The Quicksilver necks are available personalized with
your name in the headstock.
6. The Quicksilver necks don't employ that ugly cumbersome
Heel From Hell that PRS has been using since 1995.
7. The Quicksilver necks are available with real wood or ivoroid binding on the neck and/or headstock.
8. The fret tangs on a Quicksilver neck are nipped 1/16th of
an inch so they don't show the ugly fret ends like PRS necks do.
9. You can order any size or thickness you like. If the neck
on your guitar is the wrong size this can be a lifesaver.
10. With a trade in this costs less to do than a normal fret
job. So you can actually save money if you do this around fret job time.
11. The Quicksilver necks are available with colored &
multicolored light emitting diodes (LED's side dots or front dots or both.
12. The Quicksilver neck is available with a paddle
headstock. The customer may shape his own design. If you purchase the neck from
my shop we can cut the headstock to any shape that you desire.
13. The Quicksilver neck is available with any fret size you
request.
14. The Quicksilver neck is guaranteed not to have any dead
spots.
15. The Quicksilver neck will also accommodate Sperzel
Locking Tuners & LSR 40 to 1 tuners, The PRS tuners are locking tuners also but
they are much harder to use than a Sperzel.
16. The PRS neck does not have a volute. Not that it
absolutely needs one but that's another way PRS missed adding mass to the neck
to eliminate dead spots.

are actually mounted
I have built and retopped a number of PRS guitar bodies as special orders
for customers.
On 98% of them I have switched the bridge to the TonePros
Tune-O-Matic.
See Picture Below.
These are NOT PRS Guitars
These are custom made replacement bodies that my shop has fabricated
for people who require a better bridge or a better looking top, or a
different kind of wood
These guitar bodies are made just like a
Quicksilver they
are aftermarket replacement PRS bodies.

The pickup is physically pressed into the wood of the neck
There is nothing between the pickup & the neck not even
paint.

Look at that horrible Heel from Hell
on the PRS in the middle
Notice the lip on the Quicksilver neck on the right, the picture doesn't
show the back lip very well but the body of the pickups is bolted down tightly
so that it actually makes an indentation into the lip.
Full contact with the
neck has simply got to sound better. The pickup will add mass and increase
resonance. The laws of physics are absolute.
