Update: I just jumped over to the XenForo site and entered their forums. Low and behold there is no restriction on search terms. For example a simple SE or TCI will return results, although unfortunately nothing about PRS ;-) PRS forum admin: Please remove the search term length restriction in...

Thanks for the workaround ideas. Both of them returned more useful results. FYI SE* still is ignored in the forum search. I suspect there is a hard 4 character search term restriction. I don't know which software they are using here but it is likely that there are configuration options that...

The search engine restrictions make it impossible to look for relevant information. For example the following search terms are simply ignored. SE, DGT, TCI, 58/15, etc. These all return an error: These are all valid PRS product indentifiers and the fact the I cannot filter my search using...

Hi all, It's been awhile but I've made some changes and have some new outcomes to report. I started noticing some intonation issues especially on the low E. Also the string height at the 1st fret was pretty high making the F and Bb particularly difficult to accomplish. Long story short, I got...

This is a follow up on my initial post. Long story short all the "tone" issues were due to the slowly failing amp. A couple of weeks ago the amp went all fizzy and grumbly and then went silent. A quick look in the back revealed a glowing red plating EL84, so off to the repair shop. After only...

Hmm, now I'm curious. Can you explain more about this. Adjusting the truss rod seems pretty straight forward but I am definitely interested learn more.

Ok that makes sense. Thanks

I purchased this guitar online, used from an authorized dealer. I've had this guitar for about a month now. I installed some new D'Addario EXL110 XL 10-46 strings. It initially had string buzzing on the lower frets that I was able to eliminate by adjusting the truss rod to about .008" relief on...

Thanks for the offer but I already purchased one from the online store. Also I’m don’t know what CONUS is either. -louie

Hi, Over the weekend I put a new set of D'Addario XL 10-46 strings on. A different guitar the A string is alive. This also seemed to fix the buzzing almost completely. I did take off the truss rod adjustment cover and could see that I needed a proper tool to make that adjustment. So I ordered...

I bought it used on Reverb from an authorized PRS dealer. It was advertised as being in "very good" condition. After receiving it I did a close inspection and I could not see cosmetic flaws. There are some obvious setup issues, buzzing on several strings that need to be addressed. It could be...

Thanks let me try to make it clear. I have the amp for comfortable level. Input and master at about 9-12 o’clock and the guitar volume at approximately 5. A nice clean tone. Now when I play the 6th string open E, I get a resonant tone. However, playing the 5th string open A is dull and...

This is my first electric. I finally assembled all the pieces yesterday and sat down and started to play. My amp is s Bassbreaker 007. My first experience was wow, a really nice rich full sound. However, as I played through several songs and exercises I noticed a significant dead spot around...

Hi all, My name is Louie and I live in Encinitas CA. I’ve played acoustic instruments on and off for years. While taking an online course over the last several months I became interested in playing an electric guitar. After a lot of searching and thinking I finally jumped in an purchased a...
