    Missing PRS saddle intonation screw

    Well, none of my guitars have spontaneously combusted like a spinal tap drummer yet at least. I agree I’ve had guitars with all sorts of bridges and find it weird this happens but I guess if every PRS has this issue and some other guitars with the high E i can kinda see it (considering the screw...

    Smoked Nickel Pickup Maintenance

    Response 1: "Thank you for contacting PRS Guitars. The plating on the pickup covers is a Smoked Nickel plating that is applied very thin for the best tonal response. I'm sorry, but hardware plating and the wear it experiences would be considered normal wear-and-tear and is not covered under the...

    Smoked Nickel Pickup Maintenance

    I'm really surprised to hear you say that. Mine was gone in the exact same spot within WEEKS. The response I received at first said "we won't do this at all, it's normal wear and tear". I reached out over phone and then emailed again EMPHASIZING it's only been several weeks. He very...

    Missing PRS saddle intonation screw

    I dont think the screw is stripped, the guy above made a fair point that with my high E it does sit at the very edge so it's reasonable it may pop off. I tightened it a bit extra at the loss of a minor amount of intonation to keep it in there rather than losing it entirely.

    Fixing Swirls on Nitro Finish

    I wanna preface this by saying I actually love the hell out of this guitar. My last few posts have been about grievances and so will this one to be honest so I wanted to mention I love this guitar and how it plays and feels more than any other guitar Ive ever played. I played my friends strat...

    Missing PRS saddle intonation screw

    So its just normal and not a defect a new screw or spring can fix for example? Ill do it if i have to but Im a bit bummed because i thought we were paying thousands for a level of quality and detail we don’t get with cheaper guitars in the core models. This doesn’t really inspire confidence...

    Smoked Nickel Pickup Maintenance

    Ya but it seemed pretty fast. They are actually really cool over there, even with all my whining they agreed to replace the covers if Id like haha, though they did tell me itll probably wear in the same time frame due to my skin Ph likely. I decided to go for it, presuming they arent so backed...

    What good pedal board patch cables are you using ?

    Im a big fan of the ernie ball patch cables. The sizing is perfect, they arent too expensive, and they are super effective. For me no buzz or anything and i have like 20 pedals chained.

    Smoked Nickel Pickup Maintenance

    Hey guys, I recently bought my PRS, a nice custom 24/08 wood library, that came with smoked nickel pickups. It's been about 2 weeks and I noticed that the "smokiness/darkness" on one of my pickups where my fingers lay when finger picking is deteriorated already and straight silver. I...
