Well, keep in mind the MODCAT decoders out there are not provided by PRS, just PRS fans using the best info available. By their very nature, they will always play catch-up with whatever PRS encoding structure they choose to use.
I agree, and with all the possible variations available, they’ll never have everything in them. My guitar was made years ago, and data from later incarnations of the same models have been accounted for, yet here’s another twist. In the wild, it’ll always be hit and miss! I appreciate the work of people trying to sort the mystery for us, though! I’m passing this info on to them.
Matt filled in the last blanks in the puzzle.
