Has anyone wax potted a set of microphonic 513 pickups? I’m assuming it’s not a problem if the attached pcb is wax dipped too?
 
If you’re the original owner, I would email PRS and make sure this doesn’t affect your warranty.

Apologies if you’ve thought of or have done this already.
 
Ok, by way of follow up, I got a reply from Shawn at PTC who said it would be ok to try waxing the pickups. This I did (after much research on Youtube) and the results were successful. No more squeal on moderate to high overdriven sounds. The hardest bit was cleaning up the wax from the pcb switch area after potting. But the guitar has never sounded better. Highly recommended.
