I picked up a new PRS S2 Mira a couple weeks ago (my first "new" guitar in a very long time) and when I got it, the action was fairly high out of the box. The guy at the shop dropped the bridge a little until we were at right about 2/32's. I think things sort of settled in over a week or so I started getting quite a bit of buzz from the low E from the 1st fret on and the A a little in the lower frets and in a patch in the middle of the neck (around 8).
I ran a fret rocker up the neck (I know, doesn't give the entire picture) but I did find 2-3 high spots that I think could be causing at least some of my issues. I've got 2 very good luthiers that I work with locally who have both said to me they've never had to really do much to a new prs out of the box because their fretwork is so good. Have you guys ever had to do a fret level out of the box on a new PRS? Granted this is an S2 so its not a Core, but also should be better than an SE finish work wise.
