I bought a PRS SE Custom 22 new maybe 15 years ago or so. It plays good but sounds really bad unless heavily distorted. Only mod is Grovers but I have had it looked at/worked on and still get overbearing lows and mids on the low strings, mostly from the neck PUP. The over dominant low E and A were my main concern when I had it set up. Indeed they did lower the pickup really low but still overpowers the high strings. Just got a Keeley compressor to try to even things out but not much luck. The only amp I have is a VOX AD15VT so maybe that is the problem? I have fidgeted with all of the preset models and bypassed the effects and fidgeted further but can't get an even strum across the strings, most noticeable on the clean channels. I don't want to give up on this guitar yet but have others in mind if I can't get a clean sound from this SE. Lowering volume pot helps a bit, but still very obvious problem. Looking at Roland JC amp and Gretch and Tele. Been writing songs on acoustic for years and want to record them with electric. Need great clean sound to begin, will worry about distortion later. Tried and old Applause electric (cheap ovation) with a single coil in neck and sounds pretty even and clean, just not sound I need. Thoughts on where to go with SE?
