Got my first PRS 12 days ago. Such a beautiful instrument.
Sweetwater's photos before sending it were way better than any I take.
But, I haven't made enough posts to share those with you.
Anyhoo, I had Sweetwater do a setup on her to run 11s. It plays like I've had this guitar for a decade, with one concern. Any use of the trem leaves the three lowest strings sharp. I'm wondering if maybe the nut grooves were too narrow for these strings, and binding. Really not wanting to jack up my new guitar, I used a little slot filing set to smooth those three slots out, very gingerly, and rubbed some pencil lead into them. I only sanded with the wire that fit into each groove with just a hint of resistance. It's improved but, not perfect, yet. So, all this rambling is to ask a few questions:
A) How do I make sure I'm not going too far in sanding these grooves?
2) Am I on the right track?
III) How accurate should I expect tuning to be with use of this trem?
Thanks!
