Hi Recently got my first PRS, a 2007
Korina McCarty with Brazilian board. Really loving it, great build quality, sustain, playability etc.

I did have a question regarding the truss rod. The guitar arrived with a totally flat board, no relief. It actually played pretty well like that just had a little buzz around the 8th fret or so. I decided to give it a little relief and turned the rod maybe a quarter turn at most counter clockwise. Which gave me all I needed.

I was surprised with how easily and smoothly the nut turned compared to the many other brands of guitars I've owned. Is this normal for a PRS in general? Just a little worried. The neck looks very nice when sighted down its length. Just hoping I'm not at the limit of its travel.

Thanks much

Thanks sergiodeblanc. This had me wondering if I had an issue or
if it was just a well engineered feature. Good to hear it is likely the latter. Loving my first PRS. Very impressed.
