Before start, i have to say sorry to everyone becuase my english skill is not good
so its ganna be long story if you dont want to see long story just go scroll down. I just write kind of summary.
I bough prs 513 on 2012. At that time i was 16 years old. My mother's friend offered me to buy PRS 513, Because, I can make variable tones. when I got the guitar. Guitar has fret buzz noise between middle fret to high fret and scratching sound when i bend string. but he said that it will be okey if i do guitar setup. so I bought it bring it to guitar Centre and i got setup.
but still has buzz. even technician made action height increased and became play harder. I thought that its normal to have buzz like fender guitar. but I still didn't like the have buzz. Because, clean tone sound is fine . but the problem is when i put distortion or overdrive tone. it sounds like cheap unknown brand guitar sound. technician nobody told me that what it was bad. or fake guitar or ETC. what they did. they just told me that. you should change locking tuner or i should change bridge. or Its very nice guitar i dont need to do anything. so i moved up next step which is maybe because , my gears were cheap useless gear . so maybe that my gears could not handle the guitar. so i bought Peavy 5605+ combo which is tube amp . I heard that good guitar needs tubeamps . so I bought peavey because, I was playing metal so.. anyway, I could not satisficed that. So i bought tonlab ex which is multiprocessor that have tube in it. still not satisficed. i bought marshal JCM 800. but still didn't satisficed. than I gave up to fix this issue. I just play prs when i play jazz or metal and rock rhythm less solo.
and week ago. my 3 way switch not working when i set 4 position at 5 way switch only.
and Some technician told me that my guitar is hump little bit at high fret and frets are very worn so it need to refret guitar. but he said better to sell and buy new guitar because. its old . right now i am going todo refret. this is last time try. i hope . it will fix the problem, but,, I will just ask question here
so
1. PRS has buzz is it normal? or no.
2. tube amp will make sound better or digital amp will good ( like boss katana that iam using right now)
3. metal lead tone sounds cheap guitar sound with anything that i had or have (peavy , marshall, tonlab ex , boss katana) what is the problem ? my hands or my guitar or really tube amp.
4. 3way switch is not working when i set position 4( middle and neck) is it problem with pickups?
How do i know its bad pickup. if bad pickups it will causing the tone problem.
5. right now my guitar action very low. less buzz but prs sounds was warm but now sounds like ibanez guitar now.. but cheap one. it is normal setting?
6. hard picking would be a problem?
7. any suggestion what should i do should i send ptc?
