Still lovin' that Pie!
Thanks to this issue I finally decided to get off my backside and do some work on the original bridge as some of the earlier posters suggested. Here is a closeup pic of the original PRS bridge where the strings emerge from their tunnels and loop up over the top surface. It's not the smooth finish I would have expected!
(See the later post where I got the pics right!)
And it looks a lot worse if you use microscopic jewellers glasses and magnify more I promise you. So it appears that the guys up the thread were absolutely right, there look to be some terribly sharp edges in there which would go through a string in no time if played hard. I think I can probably clean that up if I need but I'll soldier on with sorting out the Gotoh replacement for now.
And here is a pic of the different inserts. The fatter ones are the originals and the longer ones the Gotohs.
