NGD - SE Custom 22 VS

[Radu]

Hello all, I am new to the forum, I am new to PRS guitars. Today I am expecting my first PRS, the SE Custom 22 in Vintage Sunburst Korean. A lot of emotions, since on the website it looks fabulous, but I saw some pictures online of SE Custom 22, which are more between red and yellow - which I would not be so keen on. Anyway, I'll wait and see. And since it's freezing where I live, I might have to wait until tomorow to open the package

My guitar has arrived. But I was surprised that it is not actually Made in Korea as advertised on the website but in Indonesia. The problem is that it buzzes on the low E and A strings. I am not much of a technician and I am unsure now whether I should send it back. The guitar is gorgeous and I really like it but I do not know how to get rid of that buzz (it buzzes towards the neck on both strings), or if it can be fixed.

Does anyone have a piece of advice for me, please?

Prs makes their se electrics in Indonesia. A good setup will take care of the buzzing and maybe even a truss rod adjustment.

IT can be fixed for sure, if you are not confident in set ups take it to a qualified tech and get it set up and your buzz will be gone.

I watched some videos made by PRS for adjustments and it seems there was a neck bow, so I fiddled with the truss rod and then a bit on the action and there is no buzz now. Still, I should look for a professional maybe to set it up, but I am very happy now...

I will upload some pics as soon as I figure out how. And of course as soon I have some fun with the guitar.

Thank you for your kindness and answers!

If you're happy the way it is play and enjoy! If that changes you cam always tweak so w more or take it to a pro.

Just a bit of advice from a dealer that has been shipping guitars for over 15 years. Let the guitar adjust to its new home for a few days. Guitars are wood and necks can move slightly especially when they are subject to drastic weather changes and if they spent a few days in transit. A lot of the time (especially with PRS guitars) the neck will settle back in place and the buzzing will go away by itself. If not it might just a need a minor adjustment but always allow your guitar a few days to get used to its new environment first
