I got an S2 Custom 24 in Scarlet Red. It looks and feels great. This is my first PRS. I have two questions, though.
First, the humbuckers are a little bit noisy. My other hum-cancelling pickups in my Strats (Fender noiseless & DiMarzio) are dead quiet. On the S2 if I don't touch the strings, I hear noticeable background noise. Even when I touch the strings, the S2 pickups make a little bit of noise. I wonder if this is the nature of the S2 pickups.
Second, the tone pot is much looser than the volume pot. I'm not talking about a loose knob. When I turn the volume pot, I feel nice resistance. However, when I turn the tone pot, I hardly feel any resistance. I wonder if this is by design or if something's not right.
