Public viewing into PRSi abdomen
Member garrett started a thread showing a inside view of his S2 standard. This gave me a pattern to ask you to share pics of your PRSi showing the miracle behind the back plate of the electrics compartment. Please give us the type of the model and year of production. I would be interesting...

Interested in insights of a 509
Thanks in a advance for any auspicium into the abdomen (electrical compartment) of any 509. It would be very kind to share pictures either of the electrical compartment of one of the issues of Private Stock Guitar of the Month in May 2016 or production line models as of 2017. Coming from the...

Can I have your opinions on this? Does it look legit or shading?

I only have the one core I just purchased, so I'm not sure. But I could get a pic of mine 2023 and share, if it helps.

It at least looks professional, as the wires are tied together cleanly. Are you concerned that the wiring is not original?

Something looks.... off.
Again, I bought the guitar "new" but the more things I notice over time, the more I feel the purchase was unfair. I just wanted to make sure that it's legit. I got past the dents and things on the outside of the guitar, small things but things to indicate that the guitar may have been a floor model or even used and traded in. The switch jack, has a broken toothpick in it to ensure the bridge pickup will work....

Yeah. Just that it is what it is supposed to be

Gotcha. Not that I am any sort of an expert, but there is nothing in that picture to suggest something is off, anyway.
I have an SE CU24, but it was fully gutted and rewired. There isn't anything original in it to compare to either.

I'm not a pro, but it may be the toggle switch missing
It kind of looks off to me too, with the marks that you usually don't find, never mind the hole, and a broken toothpick? Sounds like someone might have messed with it and returned it, or maybe the shop itself tried to fix something and didn't do the best job.

Apparently my eyes suck, because I don't see a broken tooth pick in there.

It's probably with the toggle switch.

I knew it was something!
Correct! The toothpick is lodged in between the metal pieces. I took it out and tested it and found the bridge pickup wouldn't output any signal. Put the toothpick back and it was back to good.
The guitar sounds great but the more I look at it, the more I feel like I was jipped and the possibility of that from this particular shop just rubs me wrong.

My actual 2p; older PRS control cavity looks like dogshit. Here's the 1999 Standard with the original wiring before I give it some treatment

Maybe it's older SE's that look a little janky then. I mean, the wiring is neat in mine but the wood work within the cavity is... questionable.My actual 2p; older PRS control cavity looks like dogshit. Here's the 1999 Standard with the original wiring before I give it some treatment
