I'm a newbie here, so please cut me some slack in case I've missed something...
I absolutely understand how it works... and I also absolutely understand why I bought my first PRS... but what I still struggle with, is why - with all of Paul's attention to detail in terms of setup and playability - he missed or overlooked getting a special rotary-knob labelled from 1 to 5 rather than 1 to 10 ? That seems like a really bizarre oversight to me.
May be I'm being 'too precious', but the first PRS guitar that I bought was an American, 25th-Anniversary in 'Angry-Larry'. It was truly beautiful, but I couldn't understand why such a company based upon attention to detail couldn't fit 'my expensive guitar' with a dial that made sense.
We're not talking about massive investment here... just fitting controls that people can understand. I sold that guitar and then opted for push-pull, McCarty-switching on another... but I still question PRS's reasoning. It feels like he was 'spoiling the ship for a ha'porth of tar'.
