New PRS Owner, Question about Pickups

[Unger76]

Hi. I just recently bought a PRS SE Zach Myers guitar. Today I was able to play it for the first time, and was pretty shocked at the clean tones I could get out of a guitar that is that "affordable". I bought it because it seems to be the only single cut, dual humbucker, semi-hollow guitar I could find that also has a satin finish neck. Weird criteria I know. One thing I noticed though, is that the neck pickup seems to have significantly more output than the bridge pickup. Has anyone had a similar experience before?

I believe PRS shoots for a balanced output. Have you checked the pickup heights? It may be that someone has raised the neck pickup higher than it should be (or lowered the bridge one). That would unbalance them.

Thanks for the reply. I raised the bridge pickup height a bit, and that actually did the trick.

Woot! Happy ending!

You need a Juggalo meme for these responses.

It was a happy ending. A happy ending that didn't cost an extra $100 too, which is nice.

With just a sip of Faygo too!

Congrats on fixing it yourself and getting a great guitar!
