So the bridge not being screwed down all the way into the body is spec? Those saddles are already up pretty high and if I screw the bridge all the way into the body I'd have to raise them up a lot more and that didn't seem right either lol I'm really happy with the setup I got on it now with...

Yes I know, curious as to why it would be like this, never owned SE's before.... Wasn't sure if this was something that is the way it is or if it even matters, hence why I asked if it was safe/stable to leave it like this

Guitar Center got used Silver Sky SE so I got a 'new' one.... The setup is pretty bad so I'm tweaking but I noticed this..... Now it makes it really easy to adjust the overall height of the strings and is great but I've never seen one not screwed all the way into the body so I'm wondering, is...

Thanks man, that's just what I was looking for

Holes lined up ok? That was always my biggest issue is the mounting holes would be off.

My low E peg cap broke trying to tune. This is just a tinkering kind of guitar so I'm not concerned with locking tuners. Can anyone suggest some drop in tuners? I've had to find some before and usually end up making the wrong choice! Would be awesome if I could just fine 1 to replace it with...

Couldn't have said it better myself! A friend said the same about PRS neck as well so he doesn't think I will like any of them.

I never would have considered it would happen but it did so know I won't even try to like a guitar if the neck ain't good and sadly the action has to be as low as it can without buzz. I've always been a medium string height player, not anymore.

This story does have a happy ending, I promise! A few months back I sought and purchased a 09' Smokeburst in Nitro that they released at the PRS event.... Love 'everything' about the guitar. The look, the controls, the 10in radius, those pickups!! WOAH! What I never could bond with though was...

Oh I’m a member now, some say for life.

It’s done!!!! Thanks for the advice guys, can’t wait until it comes in.

Pretty sure this guy doesn't know about the pickups just based off his reply. That also leads me to believe that haven't been changed either. About to pull the trigger on it. I specifically asked about the marks I see in the neck towards the upper register close to the body. To me they look like...

Waiting on confirmation of the pickups to seal the deal. I’ve some older McCarty’s less, not sure if there’s much difference other than the nitro/pups

Yeah, you pretty much described my desire for it. I guess my hang up is only the price. Simply because I've seen some McCarty's a little less than that. That seems to be the model I'm gravitating towards. The money itself doesn't bother me as much as if the value is there. I'm one of those...
