Last week I purchased a Core Paul’s Guitar with a 10 Top via the web from one of the PRS authorized dealers. I chose the dealer because their web site stated that every guitar would receive a professional set-up by a highly qualified staff luthier prior to it’s being shipped. They also had a video on their site that featured their luthier and discussed all her experience and certifications. I expected that my new Paul’s Guitar would arrive with a great set-up.
Unfortunately when it arrived the set-up was not good, in fact, there was pronounced fret buzz on the low E, A and D strings. Otherwise the guitar was great.
The good news is that when I called the dealer to report the problem they told me to take the guitar to a local luthier and have a set-up done and they would reimburse me. The only problem with that is that the luthiers around here are all backed-up and my new guitar will be in the shop for 2 to 3 weeks.
I have never experienced this type of issue with a new PRS guitar previously...even a SE Paul’s Guitar I own as well.
Has anyone else run into a set-up issue with a new PRS guitar? I honestly thought this type of problem never happened with a PRS because of their superior quality control procedures.
