I have had the guitar for a couple of weeks now, and although it's not the best guitar I've ever played, it's incredible value for the money. The finish is excellent and plays and sounds great. I have had no tuning problems, but I don't use the wammy bar. None of my strats stay in tune when using a wammy bar, the only guitar that does has a locking nut. The only problem I had is the .052 E string I put on did not fit in the nut, so I had to adjust it. It did need some minor adjustments (truss rod and bridge) as with any guitar when you change the strings and/or spring tension, but the neck is real straight and no buzz. Great guitar for the money.

first im sure u kno this is not a top notch guitar . that said it is quality mid range for the price u wont find better. in case u didnt kno there not suppose to sound like strats or les pauls there meant to sit right in the middle kinda think but full without twang in it and it does just that while it gets a little muddy in high gain situations that pickups are pretty nice i play through a bugera all tube and formally a marshall mg (both half stacks) and it sounds great but is not a gibson les paul ( i own one trust me)the bridge pups screams with distotions and leaves little to be desired in cleans the neck pup isnt much but is nice i havent played many guitars that werent my gibson or a hollow body with a good stock neck pup the necks is super smooth and plays excellently its a bit wide but is great the whammy is nice but doesnt return to tune as well as a fender and the tuners are pretty nice over all is a very nice guitar id buy it over any other guitar in this range again if i had to i have owned this a mexi strat 2 epi les paul and an ibanez saber as well as my gibson all at the same time and this and my gibson are my go to guitars you wont regret buying this unless u make enough to blow cash on american made guitars while u never leave the house with ur guitar

I bought this about a month ago and its made me play guitar more! The color is very dissapointing though so don't expect it to be really nice, its just a "veneer" But damn does it sound good nice chunky tone and screaming leads. The pickups were closely designed after the USA custom 24 but i decided to replace them with USA HFS and vintage bass. There is minor fret buzz, but that can be fixed. If you like to use the wammy buy some locking tuners. For the price nothing compares but you wont get a "real" strat sound out of it.

I just purchased this guitar, and I know its naive to make a review after just one day, but whatever. This PRS is going to become a collectors item not because of its stunningly good finish or quality, but because of the price the collector can say he bought it at. What Im saying is; this is an enormous amount of guitar for the money, you get everything and so much more. I play thru a Randall half stack, this guitar can more than handle it. It sounds great. I gave features a 4 merely because the product description for this guitar claimed a coil tap and there was none present. Other than that, this PRS holds up to my high standards as a recording musician. The action is great, the tone is good, the quality is superb, and the price is a virtual steal. Why go with anything else? PRS is here to stay. Buy this now, you won't regret it, but you sure will if you miss out!
