Hello, I'm a new PRS customer, new to this forum, and just purchased a new Santana SE. Love it so far - except there is significant noise/hum on all pickups, and noticeably worse when toggle in middle position.
Can anyone shed light on what to expect in terms of noise for this guitar/pickups?
The noise almost seems like single coil noise. I don't know how these are made/wired, but I assumed normal humbuckers for the most part. I compared to my Music Man Y2D, and the noise is similar to the single coils on that guitar, maybe even slightly louder. Otherwise though - the pickups sounds great.
The ground wire on the Trem casing seemed like it might be a cold solder, but re-soldering didn't change anything.
Unfortunately I bought this online (new) and cannot go to the store to have a tech look at it. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
