Hi all. Haven't logged in for a while and just getting around to starting my PRS-1TS kit.
Problem: frets will not seat fully and ends sprout when trying to seat the middle. (a lot of tail chasing)
I've seen a couple threads with other PRS kits having this problem but the final fix was not clearly posted that I could find.
Some suggestions were removal/replacement with CA; possibly re-cutting the slots deeper (bound neck btw, so doable but not the easiest).
I checked the actual fretboard with my radius gauges and determined that part of the problem is some unevenness in the radius of the rosewood, but I don't think that is the whole problem.
I'm not sure what constitutes a QA issue and what is "you get what you pay for" sort of thing. I know these are budget kits and I expect some troubleshooting, but the idea of needing to basically do refret is real downer.
Any additional advice or tricks other than pulling frets is appreciated.
