bigolsparky Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 original story: This isn't a Hamer, and it isn't what I ordered either. Gorgeous guitar but it appears to be the only one that was ever built with a pattern thin neck which I can't deal with. It's going back. updated happy ending: So the whole story is, I ordered this and as I was opening the case I noticed the hang tag that said the neck was a "Pattern Thin", in other words, a skinny PRS neck. I never actually even felt of the neck as I was concerned that I was going to have to return the guitar because it was incorrect. When I contacted PRS, they verified that the hang tag was incorrect. Just to be safe, I grabbed a set of calipers to verify this and it turns out they were correct. The hang tag was mislabeled and I actually got what I ordered. I just finished a bonding session with it and the only way I can describe it is, exactly what I wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigolsparky Posted October 4, 2019 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 Check that, I just got a message back from the PRS CS and they stated that the hang tag was incorrect and this has a Pattern neck. I haven't played it because I thought I was sending it back. So just to satisfy my curiosity, I broke out the calipers and it was indeed a Pattern. Now I can't wait to take it home and play it.
