I have an S2 Mira, SE277, and SE277 Semi-Hollow Soapbar (all 2016 models). I started collecting them last year, and got the first one (the semi-hollow) around the same time as I got a new amp - Blackstar HT40 Club.
At that time, I found that the high end was rather harsh on the clean channel, which has only a single tone knob and can't take away the harshness without dulling the overall tone. As I picked up the other guitars, I noticed that this is consistent across all three, so I assumed the amp was the problem; however, tonight I plugged in an old Ibanez AX7 and the high end was absolutely fine.
1. Would adjusting the height of the 'high end' side of the pickups fix this?
2. Is it weird that all three have this same issue? They all have different pickups, the semi-hollow was purchased from a different store than the other two, and the Mira was special-ordered (so it wasn't touched by customers or staff).
