Old Know It All
I've posted before that these older SE's can be made into 100% professional sounding and playing guitars with a change of pickups.
Well this one's going to get all the guts replaced too...except for the Gibson P90's the previous owner installed.
In fairness, this is not the fault of PRS.
A previous owner installed Gibson P90's in it and screwed up the wiring!
Put the output jack on the input of the volume pot and the 3 way switch on the middle terminal.
But repairing his hack work is all but impossible because the shielded cable is so thin and fragile that it keeps breaking and shorting when I try to repair his mistakes.
I'm grateful for the Gibson pickups, but I've got my work cut out for me.
This is my fourth SE Singlecut and the quality of the wood working, finish and fret work is first rate.
It's really just the cheap shielded cable that need replacing, but the tone pot seems to have an odd taper so I'll replace everything. New 500K CTS pots, new switch and new output jack.
And a .02 Orange drop tone cap.
