Hi all. I'm a brand new, first time PRS owner. Bought a trampas green CE24 through Reverb. Guitar looks amazing. Feels amazing. Sounds amazing, plays amazing.... except... A natural 14th fret on the G string. Dies out super quickly. I'm not a super player, but I have a good enough ear.
Took this to a shop - not a great experience because I thought I made it clear that was the only issue I was concerned, but got talked into a setup on the notion that the the truss rod needed a tweak, etc. I pick up guitar only to find no change no change in that dead spot. The tech/luthier says "oh yeah, that's definitely a dead spot, bad frequency" - I had actually never known about this concept. He says, nothing he can do about it. He says i should probably dump the guitar if I cant live with it. I'm frustrated I didnt make it painfully clear that was the issue from the start, but that's another story.
So, i know there's a CE24 at my local guitar center. I go check it out. I am pretty damn sure that guitar also did not sustain the exact same note. So, now I think I must be crazy because this coincidence cant be.... can it?
From what I've read, there is no true solution to these dead spots/frequencies, just attempts at work arounds.
Any other experiences with this particular guitar? Any advice? Any official PRS position? Is this a warranty item, or a "tone" clause that is not covered?
Thanks!
