I was looking at the pots that came with this guitar. I was utterly shocked that the pots are the same used on an entry level $129.00 squire. 500k instead of 250k. Did not expect this with an $800.00 dollar guitar. The pick ups are also a very low level entry humbucker. Lot of hype behind these guitars, bought and gobbled up by newbees. If you have some basic knowledge with the parts, you quickly find out that PRS simply not using equivelent hardware and pick ups with the quality standards other companies are using in this price range. At least on this model, not sure about other models they make. Im totally dismayed with what i see on this guitar, very disappointing. The cheapest pots on the market, what they stick in an 800 dollar guitar. Do they think people are stupid or what. Like i would not figure this crap out. Hello. Don't think i will buy another PRS. I find that Epiphone and Fender at least give you what you pay for. Epiphone for one, parts wise are over the top for the price. Very high end hardware, even down at the 600 dollar range. Same can be said for Fender. You can fool some people.. but not all. Educated buyer will discover this cheap tactic everytime. They lost me.
