Great guitar- poor finish on metal

By Kevin Jarrett on September 29, 2022

I bought a 509 two years ago here. Since it was Covid and other things it has never left my house or stored out of case. I bought a 10 top and it's a beautiful guitar-except sitting in the case the bridge has discolored on the bottom half and looks like crap. It's nickel I was told not chrome but it seems almost tarnished? It's ugly I know that. Like the finish is just gone, dull not shiny. I have a 86 Fender I bought new and it still looks new. Ditto on Ibanez and Gibson. This guitar is two years old. It shouldn't look like the bridge was made in 58.
I contacted Sweetwater who put on to PRS who basically said pound sand that's it's a finish issue - like "normal wear?" and not covered by warranty.
For the reputation of this company and cost of this guitar I expected more from PRS.
So if you like a good sounding guitar but don't mind it looking it looking antique in a couple of years buy one.
