Any reasons NOT to buy a 90's PRS CE?

I bought a ‘99 CE24 earlier this year. Absolutely love it.

I’m keeping the 5 way rotary. I agree that it’s a little unwieldy, but all 5 options are awesome, and I like how the theee knobs look.

I've never played a PRS for an extended period, but I think that the 5 way rotary set up is an essential part of the PRS flavor. Maybe I'm wrong.

I have a '97 that plays very well indeed. Seriously lively for a bolt-on, despite a maple neck instead of mahogany.
Replaced its Dragon One pickups with the 1985 reissue set. It is now the stand-in for my beloved '87, which I no longer travel with.

Has the 5-way rotary - 90s version, slightly different from the original 80s wiring:
Position 2 is outer coils in series (rather than both full hums out-of-phase).
Position 3 is inner coils in series (instead of both full hums).
They kept the wonderful Stratty inner-coils-parallel wiring in Position 4.
1 & 2 are the straight-up humbuckers of course.

Not a 10-top but this one has a fairly pretty maple cap nonetheless. Nice rosewood too.
I'm quite happy with it.

Only one. I find it unwieldy.

Every one I've tried was a solid guitar that I wouldn't mind owning.

I have 3. No problems.

Do yours have the 5 way rotary?

Hello all.

I've been trolling on Reverb and noticed that PRS CE's from the 90's (when I first became aware of PRS) are economically attainable at this time. Are there any glaring issues with these guitars? I'm aware that they're bolt on guitars, but they appeal to me.

Thoughts?
