PRS guitars were always that kind of aspirational guitar for me.
I kind of put them in a different league. The one brand I was not afraid to buy because the quality was always going to be high.
Man this doesn't make me happy at all. The Indonesian made SE standard 24 I just bought just makes me unhappy. Problem number one, a very bad back bow set in within a week after purchase. No problem it happens. I took it to my guitar tech and he sorted it. Second problem - The pick-up selector now only plays in the neck position if I apply downward pressure on it. As soon as i stop pressing on it the neck pickup goes dead. Maybe its as simple as contact cleaner, maybe not. I opened it up to see if a wire was shorting - it wasnt, but the pickup selector i found underneath looked cheap and in truth, i have Chibsons with better pickup up selectors. The SE standard 24 doesnt come with a case or even a gig bag anymore - i paid extra. In comparison to my Korean made SE Tremonti the indonesian standard 24 is clearly a step down. I'm so freakn bummed by all of this. It's great for a Cort and all...but i didn't want a cort.
This guitar doesnt feel special to me like a PRS should. I just want a refund now. So disappointed.
The PRS aura has pretty much gone for me and this doesnt make me happy at all. They are in the same league as Gibson and Fender for me now, which isnt bad, its just yeah...okay.
