It's been PRS-heavy here lately. 
The saga of the PRS I recently returned has come to a close. After I made sure that my refund funded, I ordered the same guitar from another dealer who had the burst finish in-stock. After the FedEx driver "couldn't find it" on his truck this past Saturday around noon, it finally arrived just before 8:00pm the same night.
The white PRS which I have a thread about here was good-ish. I played it and maybe it was the big dent, but I didn't love it. It weighted 7.1 pounds and wondered if a replacement would be heavier or lighter. That's already quite light to me. Well, the new one is 6.7 pounds. It's absolutely flawless and is noticeably more resonant than the one I returned. Maybe there is something afterall about white guitars being less toneful than other colors... I'm really glad I decided not to keep that guitar. It would have bothered me to no end.
No mods are necessary on the new guitar. The pickups sound great! All I did was switch out the tuner buttons to black ones (which I had bought for the white guitar). I also lowered the nut slots by a hair, which is my personal preference. I like that first position on the neck to be effortless.
