Nothing but the best!
ROTARY!!!!! I have even replaced the 5 way blade with a rotary. It just feels heavy-duty and I can get the tones I want. Plus, it looks better than an ugly-ass toggle switch. Just my opinion, though.
I miss the tones but I don't miss that damned knob.My first PRS was a CU 24 with the 5-position rotary switch - hated it - when I was playing on stage my hands would be sweaty and I could not know for sure if I had a good grasp on that knob to turn it, most often it just slipped around in my hand - I sold that guitar and got a McCarty and life was good.
I've never really had that happen. If it did then it was probably only a couple times and I don't remember.Don't you find with the Rotary that you always switch past where you want to go, just to get a frame of reference, and then switch back to the position you actually wanted to land up on?
Whether it's as functional as toggles and blades or not, the rotary is certainly an elegant design; it doesn't break up the lines of the guitar as much as the more traditional switches PRS now uses.ROTARY!!!!!

Didn't PRS already do that in SE and discontinue it?Single bridge pickup, no switch, one volume.

Everybody knows how to use it.I like the rotary. It’s not hard to use and you are always only 2 clicks away from the tone you want.
It’s not hard to use, once you know how.
It seems a few of you guys play by sight instead of sound. With the rotary, you just listen to the tone. Then you know which position you're in. As with music, you play by hearing. And, also, in my experience, the rotary is,by far, the most sturdy of switches. I have never had one fail and I have been playing PRS since 1988. On the other hand, I have replaced many toggles and blades that died during a performance or session.
Granted, the rotary has undergone a few changes since the first ones, but they're still my"go to" given that option.
I do, too.I prefer core guitars.
Not really. I play using my hands and ears. Your ears aren't happy if you make a quick switch during a performance and land on a setting you don't want.It seems a few of you guys play by sight instead of sound. With the rotary, you just listen to the tone.
