Honestly this is why I bought the guitar. If I don't like it after a couple months, it's mostly just a rental price if I flip it for what I bought it and lose a couple hundred bucks. Not a big deal.Oh next week is it? I didnt know that. Most of the guitars are gone, not sure about amps. Was gonna buy a metro board but the site showed $320 in fedex…
Wonder how many will pop up on kijiji for the original prices lol
This is a fair point too, and I would not be surprised at all (lol). I've had shops swap out strings for me when the strings are obviously dead. They don't sound lifeless through the Piezo pickup, though, so I'll try adjusting the pickup heights a bit and report back if I can get it sorted.It may also just be dead shop strings. You’d be surprised.
It's listed here. Looks extremely low to me, unless I'm reading it wrong. How it was set up when I got it is pretty close to their site.My newer core PRS were all les paul adjacent (2x 594, custom 24) so I am surprised yours were set so low. Does prs list factory height on their site? Maybe someone wanted it darker and didnt buy it?
Beautiful guitar, and that's some serious dedication to The Lord to play with The Horse's Head (Big D)...Meant to pull out my big camera this weekend and document this but, but I have food poisoning, so all my plans are cancelled.
Here are some quick snapshots I took with my phone:

It’s not the most beautiful PRS I’ve ever seen, but it looks really good when somebody is actually playing it. Which is the important part.
Also took it to church this morning for worship (yes, I managed to play a six song worship set and a 1 hour rehearsal while running back and forth to the bathroom, which was certainly something), and I’m not sure I’ve ever been so loud in the house mix. Judging by that alone, I’m going to assume people like how it sounds. Got to use the split sounds and the Piezo too. Great instrument!
I just like playing! And the kids were all in the service today for the fall kickoff, so half the songs were real high-energy rock and ska stuff. Just tons of fun.Beautiful guitar, and that's some serious dedication to The Lord to play with The Horse's Head (Big D)...
Turn all the pole piece screws out a bit if it's dark. It will make the screws coil a hair louder than the slugs coil, which helps bring in just enough extra presence and zing. Turn them out a bit more on the neck pickup if it sounds woofy in the lows. Bridge pickup doesn't usually have a woofiness issue.Pickup height definitely needs an adjustment. Haven't done that yet, but these seem very low to me, now that you mention it. (I had forgot to mention it above.) This is admittedly a terrible photo, just a quick shot taken with my phone, but hopefully you can see the pickup height, which is the important part.
