Greetings,
I have a S2 standard 24 that feels to me the best guitar I've had in my 30 years of playing. The factory set up out of the box was just how I like it, and that never happens for me as I tend to like slightly medium action so I can strum and pick strongly without buzz. The PRS was right on the money.
As I've gotten more familiar with the guitar I've appreciated the sustain the guitar had unplugged and almost reverb like quality to single note melodies. The only thing I've found that I want to try and sort out is this muffled, ringing/sustain when alternate picking faster around the 11th to the 14th fret, oddly only on the high E string.
From when I read online, it's most likely the trem springs.
So far if just tried some electrical tape across the springs and I think it deadened the reverb quality but the muffled dissonant noise still comes through. Generally, when practicing my alternate picking I tend to use my right hand to slight palm mute the strings to cut out unwanted noise, especially when playing with high gain...it doesnt seem to do anything for this symptom.
Should I try putting some other household items in the trem spring cavity?
Could it be anything else?
