Got this used PRS McCarty of craigslist, first PRS I played, and I feel very god-like with all this powerful tone coming out compared to my prior guitar. Really, a big step up for me. I also love the solid feel of it, and the perfect intonation. Is it just me, or do cheaper guitars -- like $200 range -- tend to start getting off a few cents on the tuning as you work your way up the fretboard? I've only played a few guitars, but the PRS is the first guitar where I'm perfectly on pitch at every fret all over the fretboard, which I love.
Now, the one negative is that the low E string is buzzing quite a bit, regardless how it's being fretted (or if it's open). I notice the action quite low, might make it more prone to this.
So, since the guitar is new-to-me, and has this fret buzz, I thought I might take it in for a professional set up. I guess since everything else is so tight, I sort of feel this is largely a waste...I wonder if there's a DIY fix I might try for this... I'm not experienced working on guitars, though.
