Couple QC issues
Before I purchased this guitar, I had tried it in stores and decided to give an online order. The guitar shines in terms of ergonomics and aesthetics, but the quality control of my order has been a significant letdown.
The positives:
Very good and clean fret work, quality sound from pickups, holding the tune well, lightweight.
The negatives:
Faulty 3-Way Toggle: The switch has become unreliable in the bridge position since the beginning. It frequently loses connectivity, requiring me to "jiggle" the switch to get any signal.
Malfunctioning Volume Pots: Both volume pots have a terrible phase range. There is virtually no volume reduction from 10 down to 6; then, it drops to zero immediately. This makes it impossible to clean up a high-gain signal or do subtle volume swells, essentially turning the pots into on/off switches.
These are issues you simply don't expect from a brand like PRS; it's a clear sign that the factory QC was lacking. Furthermore, I expected Thomann to catch these faults before shipping, as they claim to inspect guitars before they are sent out. Unfortunately, it seems they missed the mark on my order.
