Went to Sam Ash today and flipped the 5 way blade switch on a few different PRS models. After feeling the very clearly defined positions on the other guitars there is absolutely no question that ours is broken - so at least we can be sure what we’re dealing with. In fairness, we did buy the...

We definitely do not have 5 clearly defined positions. No clicks. No locking. I'd say for a first PRS guitar this is extraordinarily disappointing. We bought a PRS, especially the MEv, specifically for quality and reliability and here we are with a blade switch that glides back and forth. We've...

This is really helpful. I googled for a while before asking, but must not have used the correct terms. As for the 5 way switch, it definitely does not "click", which feels incorrect, which is why I brought it up. It seems almost inconceivable that PRS would let an MEv out into the public with a...

Hey guys - question about the 5-way blade switch. Should it be “clicking” into position or does it just slide? On our new PRS it just slides back and forth with no resistance whatsoever until it hits one edge or the other. A little disconcerting - how do you know what position you’re in? Maybe...

The guitar arrived today! Trying to upload pics but have posted links from multiple hosting sites and I just get IMG in brackets. Edit: I’ll just post the links then. https://ibb.co/F0yVWm3 https://ibb.co/sbdWwzQ https://ibb.co/mbrd3Ds

That is definitely one of the upsides.

It's weird how most other guitars don't do that with the color, but I guess it adds a little something extra to the PRS brand.

I don't doubt it. I've seen the lighting difference for myself. My own two eyes, iphone with flash on, and iphone with no flash all yield perceptibly different color palettes. The problem with PRS is they're such a high quality guitar that people get more sensitive about getting exactly what...

Yes, I've experienced the online vs in person difference + the camera lighting as well. But, even in person, we've seen significant variance such that we strongly preferred one color tone to another of the same color because the difference was significant. Obviously the striping is going to...

Sure. It should be here on or before Friday. We got River Blue and we're hoping it's more dark blue and less aquamarine/turquoise in person but with only 120 MEVs in america and I would guess half or so being river blue there weren't a lot of options at this point. The one complaint I have about...

After much deliberation we got a killer deal on a PRS Modern Eagle V (Experience). Just seemed like if we were already going to spend the money on a 35th anniversary than stepping up to the modern eagle, at the price we were able to get it for, made a lot of sense.

She already has a fantastic acoustic equipped with the LR Baggs Studio Anthem Pro, so we're good there.

What do people think if we take Mozzi's advice and throw the Modern Eagle V into consideration?

Much of this sounds like our own internal deliberations and discussions with players. Really hard to choose between the two.

My significant other is an emerging film composer (I promise you've heard plenty of her work). Her primary instrument is piano, but she would like to pickup a workhorse guitar for the studio as her guitar skills are growing and its useful to have something that other people can pick up and jam...
