Hey Sergio, thanks for your input. Did it ever happen to you, breaking one of these?

I thought so, but I just got this reply from PRS Customer Service and, here I can see there're 4 versions (some look the same but looks like the diameter is different). I've seen a couple sets from the 90's for sale, but know I'm not sure if those will fit on my 87 (I'm guessing these are v1?)...

Hi everyone! So, I restrung my '87 standard yesterday, played it for a while, all good. Left it on a stand. This morning, I noticed the low E string on the floor and my first thought was: maybe I didn't lock it properly... but no. After a close look I realized the the wing was broken (a small...

Hi @Boogie, thanks! Actually, I think that the original position 8 on the rotary switch (until 1989) was Treble + Bass. I've rewired yesterday to V1 and, I think, it sounds GREAT now! I've measured the combinations again and got this: pos10: 10.78k pos09: 18.16k pos08: 5.09k pos07: 2.75k...

Thanks again for everything, this is super helpful. Just by looking at your pictures, I can clearly see that your wiring matches the diagram. If you look at mine, keeping the ground/hot out connections as a reference, the red and black wires are connected to other pins. I'll try to take it out...

Hi @Collywobbles, thanks a lot for all the info. Your readings are pretty different from mine, except from the 'single coil/strat' sound, which I seem to have in position 8 instead of 7. This supports the idea that the wiring is modified (not sure if intentionally, since I don't seem to have...

Hi all! Old time lurker here, finally joining the PRS family :) I've recently acquired my 1st core PRS, an 80's standard 24 that has been in my wishlist for years. These come with the blue wafer rotary pickup selector, sweet switch and stamped T&B pickups. It's beautiful and plays great. It...
