Sounds like a winner to me…once I read online that John directly took an active role alongside Paul in the early days of PRS, he’s “The Mann” man!

Greetings all, I’ve searched the forum and online and haven’t really found the answers I need. I recently purchased a new PRS SE Custom 24 from Sweetwater. As with most every SE I’ve purchased, there are always minor hardware quality issues which can be upgraded with better made hardware. For...

Here are two different wiring diagrams which show how to make the SC pickups see a 250K Volume Pot.

Okay, since the bridge pickup on my SE Swamp Ash is connected to ground when coil split, I recorded the DI signal of neck, middle, bridge pickups (neck, bridge coil split) and they are fairly well balanced between all three of them. So then I soldered a 6.8k (it’s all I had) on the bridge coil...

The original SE Swamp Ash wiring diagram shows a 1.1k for the neck but no resistor for the bridge. I double checked and there is indeed a 1.1k resistor used for the neck in my altered wiring. I read somewhere that Lindy Fralin suggests using a 7k resistor, what’s the logic behind that value?

Greetings all…okay, so this past weekend I rewired my SE Swamp Ash with a 3-way ON ON ON DPDT toggle switch and kept the Push/Pull Coil Split. So the 3-way toggle switch is now Bridge/Middle/Neck and Bridge-Split/Middle/Neck-Split. I like this wiring configuration much better than the stock...

Thanks to everyone that felt moved or related to my story. What’s fascinating to me is that regardless of how long or short your stories have been, each of you have shared so many of the facets of man and music (females equally included). Seems like each of us has experienced a part(s) of the...

I find myself in a similar and not-similar aspect of life. I turned 60 this year, I’ve been divorced for 30 years, no children, parents and siblings all passed away. I’m the last man standing, so to speak. I became disabled 4+ years ago and I’m bed/wheelchair-ridden. Though I can transfer to and...

Greetings Swampers, PRSers and Wiring Brainiacs, Okay, I’ve posted photos of the SE Swamp Ash Pickup Selections as well as a beneath the hood photo of the official wiring diagram. I’m fairly decent at figuring out signal flow and other such details…but this has me stumped and I’m sure some of...

Hmmm??? Scratching my head…it was never my intent to make so much work (or any work for that matter) for the moderators. Even though I haven’t posted in these forums for long, I’ve never previously experienced a delay/approval for any of my postings. And as PRS Mods Too pointed out, when I...

It won’t be an issue for me, I’ve been setting up my guitars for over 30+ years. It’s just disappointing when you purchase a new guitar and the inspection coming from PRS is signed off on despite having minor issues. In regards to zZounds, I spoke to them on the phone before purchasing the SE...

I did repost over in the Electric Guitars forum. I gave my previous posting some thought and think I know why they took it down. I guess sometimes you can walk a fine line between adhering and somewhat not adhering to forum rules. LOL

Greetings PRS’ers…I purchased a new SE Swamp Ash (Iris Blue) from zZounds and received it this past Saturday. There were some minor issues with the guitar, one of which I wanted to share with the forum. Understand, I’m not posting out of anger but simply for sharing information. As the attached...

Greetings all PRS’ers…I’m confused. I posted in the Electric Instruments about some Quality Control issues with my new SE Swamp Ash and also included some photos of the bridge pivot screws. I just checked for my posting and it’s gone, not moved to another forum or thread, just altogether gone. I...

Greetings all PRS’ers, I don’t know if it’s luck of the draw or what…but I ordered a SE Swamp Ash (Iris Blue) Tuesday of last week from zZounds and actually received the guitar this past Saturday. I decided I’m keeping this specific guitar because I don’t want to get into a cycle of...
