First time PRS guitar owner. Purchased the new SE CE 24 Standard Satin in Cherry Red from Sweetwater and have been playing it now for 3wks .. I clicked on the button "notify me when you get them in stock"..and they did ..right away ! They've been backordered ever since.
Love the 7lbs weight, the satin finish whereby you can see the mahogany grain, like the smaller body and of course the price which allowed me (and many others I'm sure) to now be able to afford a PRS.
Right out of the box I was concerned because the tone split coil knob has zero resistance as compared to the volume knob. With the right wind, the tone knob could be easily turned.
So I called PRS directly and spoke to a guy (forget his name at the moment) who said as long as the knob doesn't keep turning without being responsive, it should be fine.
Not sure if any of you who also expressed loose feeling knobs have ever called PRS as I did but the tech guy I spoke with at PRS offered some long, technical explanation about the kind of pots that Paul Reed Smith prefers using and that it really wasn't uncommon the loose feeling...from all I've read on these forums that apparently my experience is not an isolated one...
Reassured prior to hanging up the phone the tech guy said IF for any reason down the line I have an issues at all with the guitar (within it's warranty I will assume) that PRS and or Sweetwater will rectify the situation....
