I found quick changes on stage became really intuative.
First someone would go off on QC issues, and eventually it would descend into a Henry J spitefest, featuring all the usual links to Glassdoor reviews and financial journalism doom and gloom.
A few plucky souls would tell you how they would fix the company, despite having little to no actual business experience.
At least four people would get banned.
I think the 3 way tapped voices can now be improved, as per the DGT models with partial coil tap mods
Ref the 5 way rotary or 5 way blade, I agree it is pretty obvious to see where you are on the blade format and so much easier than on a rotary - Yet the rotary switch I find you just got use to it and could hear which position you were in, so no need to really look - there are slight tweaks now with the blade switch as to the tapped voices on 2/4 which are fuller voiced than the old 5 way rotary

I have played some nice Custom 22s but the perfect PRS for me would be something like this but with a Rotary switch.

Not played a new one that didnt didn't feel like a toy tbh.
Including wood library and Pvt Stock.
I quite like the rotary switch, don't over much like any PRS pickups that I've tried except the DGT ones - although I haven't played the newer ones like 57/08 and 85/15. A lot of it is personal taste though. Some people will love the things I don't like.
For me HFS & VB sound really good, I have though about changing mine a few times but the things always sound great.
The rotary switch never bothered me and once you get the technique its easy and looks nicer than a clunky old 3 or 5 way.
Never really like pull pots.
As for deadspots on the small heel it may be a fact but I own 1 and have played at least 6 from that era and I had never heard of it from friends or players, till Richard Homer brings it up :-)
So for me custom 24 is a great guitar
I dont really like the newer neck shapes, I'm not keen on the new m/heads, the newer pickups seem good though, but as with any PRS, or any guitar for that matter, you have to play a few before you find a good match, but I will say for me it seems that the older ones have a higher strike rate of awesome vs just great.
Granted the figured tops on a PRS can vary, but that is character and some like wide flame, straight flame, curly flame quilt etc etc - But Paul found a way to achieve high quality consistency at a time when USA builders had many issues - we now take it for granted from so many builders that this quality was always part of the guitar industry - It wasn't
He certainly did not accept off the shelve ingredients - Many like them and many don't but the quality he created became the bench mark for all those who followed - He created boutique guitars and turned them into a high quality production format
I think this was one of those rare moments where Paul Smith quietly accepted the problem existed, by lengthening the heel. As I recall, this was never trumpeted by him as an 'improvement' like most other PRS changes - which suggests that the fault it cured was something he'd rather not talk about.
I'm attracted to the the older guitars because they are I guess 'from my era' but the new ones have certainly the best looks and the necks feel more stable. Mind you just looking at this overpriced one at a 'premier' dealer, they seemed to attract the dust too....shocking!

Is it me @guitars4you or is the PRS market becoming saturated? Not seeing much movement on them. Seems like everyone rushed to buy the 594's and now the rest are left standing. The negative ownership stigma certainly doesn't help, such nonsense....I've yet to meet a damn dentist that plays guitar.
Would say that the low profile trem is smooth, just it feels cramped and the whole feel of the guitar is just off a little for my tastes, which echoes what has been said already. Great guitar though and more it isn't quite me rather than it has any actual faults.
utter shodblocks if ever I heard it.
