PRS Tremonti SE Custom bridge replacement

[Darrin Messina]

Hey everyone. This is my first post here.
I have a PRS Tremonti SE Custom. I love it , however, I was thinking of replacing the floating trem with a fixed bridge. I use a lot of low tunings and it would just be easier to use those tunings with a fixed bridge.

Does anyone know if there is a decent fixed bridge that would work on this guitar? I was thinking maybe a hipshot, but I'm just looking for any advice I can get.

Thanks!!

Best thing to do is block the tremolo. Any fixed bridge would require major work.

The "How to Block Your Tremolo" section in the below link is very good. I wouldn't bother with lowering the bridge. Just make a nice block to wedge in.

Thanks Garrett. I appreciate the response. I think that’s what I’m gonna do.

Install a tremol-no.

Man, I didn’t even know about that! Lol. I blocked it today, but that looks like something I may want to look into. Thanks!

The Tremol-no is handy if you want to switch back and forth between floating, down-only, and fixed. If you're never going to use the whammy bar, the block will do just fine.

Cool. Thanks again Garrett.
