I'm a newbie here, so please cut me some slack in case I've missed something...
I absolutely understand how it works... and I also absolutely understand why I bought my first PRS... but what I still struggle with, is why - with all of Paul's attention to detail in terms of setup and playability...
I'm with you. McCarty-switching is the way to go... I've loved PRS's for some time, but I could never get my head around the rotary-dial labelled from 1 to 10... :mad: I've had my 1991 24-Custom re-wired with McCarty-switching and my favourite guitar makes sense now.
Hi, I live in the UK and have a small collection of guitars, the most important of which are my two PRS's... a 2005 Private-Stock McCarty-22 and a 1991 Custom-24 'Goldtop' (I've since gone to push-pull McCarty-switching on the 'Goldtop'):

And forgive me for saying it... but I sense that you may have an 'investment' in her beyond her choice of guitar. I don't mean that in a creepy way, but may be there is some sense of living your life vicariously through her talent. From my experience, I'd say that it's possible to 'help' too...
I'd thank your lucky stars that you have a lovely daughter who is spongeing up music, and just go with the flow. I'd take the PRS 'Birds' metaphor and let her fly... whether that's towards a trem or not, or even - heaven-forbid - towards a Strat. :confused: You've done your bit in getting her...
I must lead a sad life. My wife went to bed last night and I spent my time looking at this #GuitarPorn picture, wondering what she'd look like from the front, semi-clothed. :( This guitar, not my wife... :wink:
Lovely guitar. I'm not sure what's going on in terms of PRS second-hand values at the moment. In the UK the bottom seems to have dropped out of the used PRS market and there are incredible deals to be had... albeit on a rather more limited pool of guitars. Over here you would struggle to sell...
Your guitar has to be amongst the most beautiful guitars ever made.
I own a PRS Private-Stock guitar from 2008 which is wonderful, but 'Fractis Alis Angeli' is beyond anything that I've ever seen.
I hope that you live up to it's name.
Best wishes,
Peter
