    Tremelo springs and Tremelo things

    Well thats something for Mr Smith to add to the next gen of PRS Tremelo then. I do wish Guitar makers started adding more tech to their guitars like that. None of the Gibson machine head madness but good workable useful tech.

    Tremelo springs and Tremelo things

    It's now been 2 and a half years sinceI bought my Custom 24 USA model and I just wondered if i'm correct in thinking that there was a spare tremolo spring included somewhere? I swear I got one though i might be thinking of when I bought my (pre good years) PRS SE guitar in 2009. I'm looking to...

    A Little Trouble staying in tune...

    Well as it’s a trem model as soon as one goes out they all go out. Not by huge amounts but enough to really sour the sound.

    A Little Trouble staying in tune...

    Yeah it’s a USA custom 24. I doubt the nut has any defects, I’ve only changed strings on it 2 times in the 2.5 years I’ve had it. Maybe I’ll try some nut sauce. The strings I’ve had on it are now about 2 months old I guess, maybe I’ll put a new set on and check everything out

    A Little Trouble staying in tune...

    I just recently switched from a .10 gauge set to a .9.5 gauge set of D'addarrio. The tension is much much more pleasing to me now with my older weaker hands. I'm having a little trouble staying in tune though, especially when using the tremolo arm. I adjusted the claw springs in the trem so the...

    New pickup suggestions...

    So you have a JB in your custom 24 now? This is an odd ask but I don't suppose you could record a couple of minutes of dry signal and email it to me ? I could then pass it through my axe fx and see what it sounds like

    New pickup suggestions...

    I have an Axe FX. so i'm using tone from a 5153,JM45,Two Rock,Friedman,Fender etc etc. In response to the high end of the 85/15 pickups, yes the bridge pickup is very clear and I really like that but it's a very classic rock kind of clear. there's always this 3k bump too which I remember...

    New pickup suggestions...

    I don't think I do. I tried a PRS with 08s the day before i bought mine and i didn't like it at all. I find the neck pickups (85/15) to be pretty dull sounding. almost like the tone knob has been rolled off.

    New pickup suggestions...

    so the PRS is the perfect guitar but I’ve had trouble jelling with it because of the pickups mainly so I’m thinking of swapping them out. I have a Charvel which is so close to tonal perfection but the neck is a horrible D shape I find it uncomfortable to play.My Charvel has Seymour Duncan JB and...

    Help my PRS finish is peeling off!

    Thanks . I live in Norwich which is an hour away from Cambridge. I wonder though if it does indeed need repair will it have to be sent to the US?

    Help my PRS finish is peeling off!

    Last night I noticed this to my horror. It's on the underside of the 13th-14th fret. It looks like the finish separated from the 13th fret and chipped then continued to separate down the neck. This is guitar is a 2016 spec PRS Custom 24 I bought in February from brand new at...

    More Clips, Less Talk

    I am now an Axe 'fx owner and what a beast it is. I have no idea how to work it just yet so I've just stuck to clean tones for the last week. Here's a little ditty I made with the Vibrolux model on my PRS. https://soundcloud.com/songsfromsolitude/violet-axe-fx-clean-tone-test
