Stage II of the PRS SE setup. The takedown of the present crap and a better set up!

Now that I had deciphered what was wrong, the next phase was to fix it!
The guitar was set up with a set of rusted 9’s that had so much rust, the rust was collecting on the neck. The first thing I did was take all of the strings off and clean the fretboard with Ernie Ball fretboard conditioner. These easy to use wipes are like a baby wipe impregnated with orange oil.
Stage I of the PRS SE setup– What did I get myself into!

The first thing I did when I set up a guitar or change strings, is inspect it to see what kind of scrapes and dings my instrument has gotten since the last time I changed strings. If my guitar is picked up during a show, I know every scratch on every instrument. I know which ones I created and which ones I did not.
The NEW PRS-SE what did I get myself into (part 1)

I have been waiting for some time to get a good deal on a guitar with p-90’s. For those who may not know The P-90 is a single coil electric guitar pickup first produced by Gibson since 1946. Having a more complex architecture and larger dimensions than Fender's single coils, it is occasionally mistaken for a humbucker. According to the Gibson website, "the lean and mean P-90 offers a stellar combination of high output and biting treble response." They give a tone that is not a single coil, and not a humbucker. So they can be noisy. Enough background already!
