First time poster - long time PRS player.
I recently purchased an SE Silver Sky as a backup/B-Guitar, but honestly I'm so blown away in it's closeness to my USA Silver Sky that I'm going to end up keeping it longer than expected - the lightweight poplar and Moon White color doesn't hurt either.
So here's my concern:
What I've noticed about it is that the volume pot almost acts like a tone AND volume pot. When I roll off the volume from 10 to 7, it's like I rolled off the tone from 10 to 5. - furthermore, when I roll the volume down to 4-5, I can almost hear the guitar acoustically louder than I can the signal output. The volume almost goes to nothing when the knob is at 5. My USA model isn't like this, nor is any other PRS I've played/had.
From what I read/understand, the USA model has specific pots/resistors in it that give it the gradual/linear volume range.
Is this common? Is there any fix to it? I ride the volume knob pretty heavy during gigs, and am a big clarity tone kind of guy, so this really bums me out if I can't do anything about it. I'm going to call PRS tech support, but figured I'd put a feeler out here. Thanks. Any input is appreciated.
