Wow - Thanks John! You're a heck of guy for taking the time to help with this issue. I'm a loyal customer of yours and admire that you help your customers post sale. Thanks again! DM

Thank you for the well thought out post! I will check each point you made to verify proper bridge alignment. Can you just stop by the house and straighten this issue out for me? LOL Thanks again!

How would I check for neck warp? Certainly not initially visible to my eyes.

That's funny! :) I did straight edge the frets. They look great. Note the guitar less than a year old. I may need to send this to higher power guitar tech other than myself. I'm good with the rewiring stuff, apparently below average in the hardware dept.

Yes.

Mann bridge installation question - my best answer is I think I've installed it correctly. I used John's method with the hex key for gauging screw height. It's was my third time installing one of these nos2000's with no issues like this prior. BTW - this bridge has been installed for months with...

Forgot to address neck relief - checked that immediately. That was my first ghost suspect. It was within spec. I was hoping it was not. :)

I will definitely take a look at the pickup height. I do have them semi close to the strings. Also, the action is medium as a general way to explain. Not low at all.

You're not being a pain at all. I feel like I'm chasing a ghost. Yes - I changed strings hoping that was the cause - it wasn't.

Thank you for offering to inspect this bridge setup and offer suggestions.

I have a 2021 PRS CE that had an intonation shift primarily on the EAD strings. The shift is drastic to the point I had to remove the saddle spring on the "D" string in order to get the intonation correct. This is a regularly played guitar, well maintained with regular string changes. It's had a...

Since this thread has just resurfaced - I want to chime in as a 305 owner. Really like this guitar. For me some strats that a lot of people love are thinner sounding that I want to play for a whole set. The 305 can get close to that thinner sound with the volume turned down to 7 or 8. I love...

Thanks for all of these thoughts so far. Appreciate it and those comments are exactly what I'm trying to sort through. It boils down to me getting started with a PRS SE Cu24 3 years ago. That one came to me with a plek job and several USA appointments including a mannmade bridge. I was floored...

I appreciate your viewpoint! -- Thank you! I also have a sweet 2021 CE that I installed a mannmade nos2000 bridge on it as well. IMHO my S2 and CE are quite even. Maybe the CE has tad more enjoyable neck - maybe. No super victory for CE over the S2 between my 2. The CE is purtier. :) I'm an...

Curious as to some opinions from here regarding the subject line. I have a S2 Custom 24 with a mannmade nos2000 bridge and upgraded pickups. I find this guitar to be outstanding - both playability and tonewise. I often read there is nothing like a core and also read that with an upgraded S2 you...
