‘New’ used custom 24 35th Anniversary - some concerns.

[Ryan Bo]

Hi guys,
I purchased this guitar yesterday, and have noticed that the pole pieces on the neck pick-up seem to be “fitted wrong”. I didn’t realise until I got home, but the flathead screw pieces are at the bridge end.

I really hope this isn’t a difficult fix, or worse still evidence of a counterfeit.

Any help appreciated, and I can add more photos.

I'm not spotting the issue, honestly...

Oh really? I thought the front pickup always had the ‘slotted’ pole pieces near the neck.

How does it sound?
Flip it around if you don’t like what you hear.

It's 100% legit. Sometimes PRS and people flip the neck pickup for pole pieces to be closer or further from the bridge or neck. You can rotate it easily by the four screws holding the pickup ring. Congrats!

Thank you so much. It’s a beautiful instrument.

No problem. My 35th Anniversary also has the pole pieces reversed.
