Default PRS Repair Tech Wanted

Hi, I'm located in Atlanta and am looking for a tech experienced in PRS set up and electrical. The sweet switch does not seem to be working and it needs a basic set up (has been out of case once in last 15 years). I'm so glad I didn't sell it - it's a monster Custom 24 with Birds, 10 top, and Brazilian board. I guess it's part of my 401K at this point

Thanks

Looks like I can send it to PRS and they will go over everything. I'll prob do that.

With that guitar, that’s the safest route IMO.

I can take a few but have always had challenges posting here. Side note, it’s not for sale.

Photos here are more for just for the drool factor

Photos are pretty simple once you are set up with a third party image hosting site . I use Imgur, its free and pretty straight forward.

NICE Guitar!

I will try to get pics up before I ship it to PRS. Key differences are:
Quilted maple top (sunburst)
A third dial pup selector (not a toggle)

I guess we all have our comfort level, but with a sweet guitar like that I would try and keep it out of the shipping system these days if at all possible.

Perhaps I’m missing something, but the work you need should be okay for any authorized PRS reseller to handle with a good tech, no?

Not sure how close you are to this company, but they seem to review well:

Best of luck

Man, that is such a great colour. Every time you post that thing it makes me go, “oooooh aaaaaaaah”. ;-0 Very nice. I’m sure it plays as incredible as it looks.

Agreed with trying to avoid shipping, but mine is a 31 year old PRS so didn't want to take any gambles with local shops that might not have the experience on the old ones. That said, I have heard nothing but good things about Righteous.

I put a link below, let me know if it works for you. Could not embed the pic into the comment because of file size.
