PRS CE24

[THOMASK]

Lost volume on my guitar CE 24 semi hollow body anyone have any suggestions on what happened?

 

[Abe]

Hmm. It just stopped making noise while plugged in and it for sure wasn't a wire, pedal, battery, etc?

 

[THOMASK]

Yes checked cords pedal battery, plugged my Strat in and it was loud and fine it surely is the prs guitar

 

[Prs Mods too]

No volume on either pickup?

Check the output jack. IIRC some jacks and cables don't work the best together. Just retensioning the jack fixes it.

I tapped on the volume knob and could hear it come through the pickups then the sound came back.

Ouch. How new is the guitar?

 

[THOMASK]

2019 I played for a few minutes and it fades sound goes down a little then comes back up.

Try spraying with DeoxIT contact cleaner

With the stewmac pot cleaner adapter or through the back of the pot.

No reason for this on such a new instrument though.

I've been having too many volume pot problems. Who makes the very best potentiometers?

Might want to check/change the pickup selector switch. I say that because the 3 way blade switch on my SE 24 Standard was always a bit flakey since day one. Sprayed it with contact cleaner and really worked it in quite a few times. Then last week I got no sound at all from the neck pickup.

Replaced the switch the next day with a new one. All systems are now a go!

I like the PRS core CTS because of the taper. Sometimes they used bourns too per others. But CTS and Bourns are the ones. RS guitarworks CTS has great taper too. They were all I used before a PRS junkie..
