Hello Rebecca
I had intended commenting originally but I am a terrible procrastinator. In case you ever decide to revert to Flats for this guitar it is important to know the difference in Intonation between the wound and plain G string. I noticed from the Picture of your PRS in another post that it is setup for plain G string. Standard Flatwounds come with a wound G string which needs the saddle to be further away from the nut behind the D string saddle. with plain G string the saddle is closer to the nut than the B string. there is a good explanation of this here
Flatwounds with plain G can be wonderfull (Easier to bend than wound G)
After 4 years trying all sorts of strings I tried Flatwounds about a year ago on my telecaster and i love them ( string squeek of roundwounds drives me mad) and i have seen no reason to change them. so i save money even with more expensive strings.
it is certainly worth trying different types until you discover your favourite.
Hi Rebecca, Hope you are well. Iāve not been on here for a while but just noticed your issue re strings on your PRS. Did you get sorted? Iām interested as Iāve just bought a PRS (my first electric) and I know it has 9 gauge strings as the dealer looked it up. What brand of strings have you bought? Iām sure Iāll need to change mine at some point.
Hi Rebecca, if you like the sound of flat ones you might try on your PRS also some half rounds. I used on my PRS Hollowbody II Piezo the
D-Addario EHR310-10-46 Half-Rounds-Stainless-Steel-Regular-Light or the
D-Addario EHR370-11-49 Half-Rounds-Stainless-Steel-Medium
and 1 PRS Classic 09-42. I havenāt decided which to try first, lol.
@Will_E_Vander Thanks for the info and link I had no clue about that G string, Iāll keep it in mind when I get around to buying flats, (unless I really, really love the strings I bought.)
