Hello, is this normal to see this ink/ finish problem underneath the strap button? I guess it’s because PRS didn’t put the felt pad between the strap button and the guitar, just want to know is it common, thanks!!!

I just noticed that the finish around the strap button is slightly getting out, is this also normal and common?

Thanks guys!
 
Also, what guitar and what year? It might help people identify what finish was used.

I've been using my Facebook account to post images, then 'copy image location' to insert pics here.
 
Thanks guys, will try to put some pics later.
My guitar is a custom 24 made in 2016.
 
I've never seen that, unless the strap button was replaced with a different type, like a strap lock, and then the original was reinstalled and/or overtightened. I've had an awful lot of PRSes. Nothing like that, ever. The strap buttons don't need felt spacers at all when installed at the factory, the installations I've seen have always been perfect.

If yours was bought new, and never messed with, it should be covered under warranty.

I’m totally in this camp, too. I’ve had dozens of PRS guitars, and have never seen that happen.

Bought this guitar new, this is my first time to take out the strap button.
 
If it bothers you, get a handful of felt washers, put one on the guitar and call it a day...

I did that when I changed the strap buttons to Schallers...
