Poly on side of fretboard chipping S2

[rockinforJesus]

Anyone else have a S2 that has the poly starting to peel up? My 2014 S2 Starla has a few spots on the side of the fretboard where this is happening. Love the guitar otherwise. Any fixes you would recommend? Thanks in advance for your help.

It’s a beautiful relic job. Natural and worn. Embrace it!

This happened on my 2011 DC-22. They repaired it under warranty.

I’ve got this happening on my 2006 CU24. I made the mistake of pushing down with my thumb on one of the “starter bubbles” along the side of the fretboard, and a huge area (1.5”x 0.5”) of clear coat then blistered on the neck - completely delaminated, and then flaked off. Guitar is out of warranty, so a PTC neck refin will be $700.

Started like this:

If you’re the original owner, I’d suggest you contact PRS Support now, and try to get it fixed under warranty - it will only get worse.

This Happened On My OG Tremonti Tribal And My Black OG Tremonti As Well. Both Of Mine Are Near The Neck Joint On The Low E Side.

I’d send that for a warranty repair if you’re the original owner, but I seem to remember you talking about buying that guitar used.

It happened on my ‘14 S2 as well, although not to that degree. Anything that flakes off, I use some fine sandpaper to smooth if there’s an edge that catches afterwards. But I don’t go pulling pieces off, just let it happen if it’s going to happen. I don’t have a great answer for spots that big other than a neck refin.

I had a core Starla a few years back that had that issue. PRS refinished it for me under warranty. Maybe give them a call.

Things may have changed but PTC did fix my CU22 that was out of warranty cost me one way shipping.
Send an email , ask if there is anything they can do nicely is my advice.
I had a DGT that had finish damage ( not a PRS issue ) fixed by a local tech sanded neck and recoated the clear.

Join the club. Same issue with an S2. But I bought it used.

Bought Used Or New...This Shouldn't Happen And Should Be A Warranty Issue. YMMV

Sure...Take Some Time To Get To Know Me In Person...Come Over To The Studio And Sign In With The Guard At The Front Gate With Copies Of Your Government Issued ID, Birth Certificate And Fingerprints Then Sign The N.D.A. And That Will Get You In The First Gate. The Second Gate Guard Will Have Further Instructions And Requirements For You As Long As Everything Checks Out From Gate Guard 1. It Is A Process But Necessary Now A Days.

More PRS sh!t. All of my customs prior to nitro did that. CE FTW, because of the sound though.
