    Question about Trem Blocking, Trem Blocks, and Tone

    Just got my SE Brass Block in yesterday from your shop... I've got some wiring changes in progress and then I'll replace the steel block and see how I like it.

    When ever you have time... I can only imagine how busy you get. Thanks!

    Question about Trem Blocking, Trem Blocks, and Tone

    CORRECTION: Section 3 indicates that my PRS SE block allows the strings to pass through all the way... that's not true. The springs stop about half way into the steel block.

    Wiring Color code for SE Model G&B Pickups?

    After experimenting a bit more... As long as the pickups are in the same mode (series/single/parallel), then there is no noticeable difference. But most of the mixed configurations do have a slightly different sound depending on which phase reverse is triggered. Nice! Thanks... I'll save...

    Question about Trem Blocking, Trem Blocks, and Tone

    Thanks! I took me a while to find this SE 24 that I traded my SE Santana for... I wanted the 24 specifically because I really like the way the neck feels, and the "new" guitar is providing a bit of motivation to start playing a little more again... so I really don't want to hold out and try...

    Question about Trem Blocking, Trem Blocks, and Tone

    Just of note, I am aware that nearly everything about "tone" is mostly about personal preference.... until you enter the complete suck zone of really cheap guitars in which the phrase "lifeless" could be applied. Also, my posts tend to be long winded... mostly because, if the answers were easy...

    Wiring Color code for SE Model G&B Pickups?

    Thanks!! haven't even started the other one yet... I'm actually going to be re-finishing the body... something else I've never done before either. There is a picture below of what it looks like now... (or, what it used to look like before I completely dismantled it). I plan to sand off the...

    Wiring Color code for SE Model G&B Pickups?

    OK... finally had some time to dedicate to this project and got it done this weekend. I don't do a whole lot of wiring, so I'm very slow at soldering, and it's not all that pretty either. Also, this was the most complicated re-wire I've done yet, so I took my time and triple checked every...

    Wiring Color code for SE Model G&B Pickups?

    Just wanted to provide an update... Here is my new wiring plan for the SE. Neck = GFS Retro-tron Hot Liverpool Bridge = Seymour Duncan JB Each pickup goes out to a 3-way switch (Standard, Single, Parallel) Then routed to a Phase Reverse on the Push/Pull... Neck to Volume... Bridge to Tone...

    Wiring Color code for SE Model G&B Pickups?

    I've got a 25th Anniversary Scarlet Red SE Custom 24... I'm changing out the pickups, and I want to reuse the Stock SE Pickups in another guitar but I don't know what the wiring color codes are. Simply matching the previous configuration with the new Pickup wires is not really an option...
