There‘s no notch on the nut, its on the end of the neck/fretboard. Can only be fixed with a neck replacement.
Or some cleaning, maybe a little sanding.

It‘s on the binding too, trust me pictures doesn‘t show itOr some cleaning, maybe a little sanding.
Has it occured to anyone else that upside down, the owl on the 24th fret looks like a penguin?
I keep my penguin on the telly.
No, but there are options. John Mann can convert the stock SE tuners to locking, or for a little more he has SE compatible locking tuners. I just got a set converted. His site is guitarvaultusa.com
I like the conversion better, it’s cheaper and the back of the stock tuners have the PRS stamped in them, whereas the new set costs more and no PRS stamp.

Turtle!
I agree. There appears to be more issues with the Cor-Tek guitars than the SE Standards that were made by PT Wildwood (the original Indonesian manufacturer of SEs)I'm just curious to know why they opened another factory in Indo, instead of opening a second factory or expand the current one or even perhaps moving the existing operations into a larger facility
I assume you mean as opposed to another factory in Korea? I'm sure the answer lies in the accounting department.I'm just curious to know why they opened another factory in Indo, instead of opening a second factory or expand the current one or even perhaps moving the existing operations into a larger facility.
I wouldn't know but, it seems like it would be a huge PITA to open a business in another country, and ought to be cheaper and easier to expand operations within another country where you're already doing business
Anybody care to provide general insight and a basic over view?
Exactly. And it's not like it was PRS' factory. It's World Music and they also produce for LTD, Chapman, etc. If PRS wanted more from that builder then they'd have to ask/fight for capacity.I assume you mean as opposed to another factory in Korea?

It could be that the general quality has dropped but without all the information, its not possible to draw a conclusive result. The purpose of the post was to show that more issues could be a result in an increase in sales so statistically, there could be a rise in complaints rather than drop in standards.
...I think we can say that there's been some loss of confidence though...
Just curious, what's the breakdown of your Indonesian guitars? How many are Wildwood and how many are Cor-Tek?I have 3 Indonesian made PRS, and all are just fine.
