    Pickup Sound issue after 3-way selector swap

    No i think you are correct because when i put the switch up it's selecting the bridge instead of the neck and visa versa. However, that wouldn't cause the other issues i'm hearing would it?

    Pickup Sound issue after 3-way selector swap

    Hey all, My first post in a looong time! I have a Tremonti SE Custom and took my first crack at swapping out the 3-way Pup selector as the head of the knob had broken off. Everything seemed to go off with out any problems until i plugged it in and started playing. The bridge pickup sounds...

    Kids guitar buying advice

    Thanks DHW. I'm fairly new to guitars. What does a large radius imply? And 24.5 or 25" scale, is that the number of frets?

    Kids guitar buying advice

    So i have a 6 yo boy and a 9 yo girl who have both taken an interest in guitar since their old man got back into playing several months ago. I'd like to surprise each of them with an electric guitar of their own at Christmas but am feeling a bit stumped at the limited selection out there. I've...

    New to Electric Guitars - Set Up / Tuning Help Needed

    Thanks Sergio. I found a local shop here that will do a set up for around $45 so i'm going to admit DIY defeat and take it in. I was holding off doing a set up cause my acoustic cost me $89 when i took it to GC and i didn't want to end up paying even more for the electric w/ a trem. $45 isn't...

    New to Electric Guitars - Set Up / Tuning Help Needed

    Welp i've been back and forth with this for about a week now and it's still giving me fits. I get it tuned on the open strings, check the intonation and make a few minor adjustments and get it sounding good. Then i play one or two strums on a couple chords and it's fkn out of tune AGAIN!! I...

    Silly question but just to make sure i understand. If it's leaning back do i need to loosen the screws and if it's leaning foward i tighten? And after each iteration of that i retune it all right?

    Edit: Ok more updates. Only has 3 springs now. I did adjust the 2 screws and the trem is now level (before tuning) and roughly 16th of an inch or less floating above the guitar. Course as i'm retuning it now, it's very sharp so i'm losening the strings and it's starting to lean back now...

    AP515, thank you so much!! I've been sitting here next to my guitar doing nothing until i heard back for fear of messing something up. I've removed the two springs and it now appears to be level, though is it too high off the guitar? Pictures attached :) Oh and i bought it new, online from...

    New to Electric Guitars - Set Up / Tuning Help Needed

    Ok so i usually don't just dive in like this in a new forum. I like to sit back, get to know people, make a few comments here and there and then start asking but I'm feeling a bit stuck so I'm diving in. Late last week my brand new PRS SE Tremonti custom arrived. It's my first foray into an...

    Introduce yourself!

    Hey, my name is Jason. I just recently purchased my first PRS. I'm a huge fan of Alter Bridge and Mark Tremonti and after about a year of researching guitars I narrowed it down between the PRS SE Tremonti custom and a Epi LP Standard. Tremonti was a little out of my price range but after a GC...
