Definitely digging the price.
Not sure about having the branding on it.
Hope the NOS2000 stays around too. I like the idea that that's the original design from back in the days.

Are the saddle and intonation screws brass though?
The saddle plating on my 2 NOS2000 seem to be holding up a bit better than the OG trem plating on my core.

Been eyeing the 2000NOS or the SE/S2 upgrade kit for my 2015 S2 Custom 22... what are your thoughts on the three options?

The upgrade kit doesn't include the nicer trem arm, so I feel like I might as well go with the new bridge or the 2000NOS rather than the upgrade kit.

That's what I like about it too. Plus a little less fiddling with getting the block changed out.
Problem w/NOS2000 is that it's out of stock whereas this one seems to be available (for now. These 20 will go quick).

Great upgrades either way.

What's the difference between this new bridge and the 2000NOS?

Looks like this is two pieces.

That's a good plan. Only a couple months anyways...

Ah, I see. Is the 2000NOS steel, or brass?

 

[andy474x]

This is not a nice thing for them to do, now I have to decide if I want to put a new trem on my S2 Custom Semi, which I have zero problems with as is, but...

I have a 408 made in 2013. What advantage would one of these provide compared to the existing PRS unit??

 

[gush]

I Don't understand why A person would buy this instead of a cheaper one piece trem. What am I missing?

John posted recently that the 2000NOS is rose brass. The core are yellow brass. Slightly different composition with different musical values.

The one piece is $250.

Sorry, Andy. It`s one of the trem threads from about 2 weeks ago.

I was sure I saw a 275.00 price tag on the new 2 piece.

 

[kmburkhart]

The 2000NOS was $225 just a week or so ago...

 

[Glide-bpm]

Ordered two of the $175 2 piece ones. One for me SE Orianthi, and one for my Trampas Green CE24.
Whoop!

Actually, Rose Brass is considered a Bronze. There is a lot of blurring of the lines between different brasses and bronzes, but just think of bronze as being more copper/red colored and brass as being more gold colored. So, from a metallurgical point of view, they are very different.

Regular price on the 2-piece is $200, but currently on NAMM special for $175, fam.

Now I have to find another Orianthi, dammit...
