    If you could change one thing about a PRS you own, what would it be?

    I would change the flight direction of the birds. They should fly UP not down!

    Do PRS guitars require high action?

    Good thought. I just did a level and crown on them. I believe they are flat. I do all my own work. They were way out of whack prior to the leveling. But I will reverify because they could have shifted a bit.

    Do PRS guitars require high action?

    Man this thread really rings true for me. I am having all of the same problems as the rest of you. Lack of sustain, too high of an action, fret buzzing on the high strings with lowered action and I can't lower the action to 1.25-1.5 without buzz killing the sustain. It validates all of my...

    Fretboard issues on se custom 24

    This being a new guitar I would discuss with your dealer for sure. Maybe not return, but negotiate for a discount perhaps.

    Evertune Bridge DIY on a PRS SE Custom 24

    Thanks, I have been happy with it so far. I'm going to restring it to 10s as I just broke a string. I think that might be the magic string size for this guitar in Eb

    Beginner help - SE Custom 24 or CE24

    Don't listen to them! Go with the SE. It's a good and reliable. Relatively inexpensive guitar that will carry you very far. You can grow with it and upgrade it if you see fit. I see no reason to pay four $$$$ when you can get excellent quality in the SE line in $500-800 range. You will...

    Evertune Bridge DIY on a PRS SE Custom 24

    Ok, I've spent a couple of good solid days with this bridge and I can tell you it is everything I hoped. It is quite stable! Very pleased overall. A few issues I have noticed with the 25 inch scale of PRS instruments. If I play 9-42 strings in E standard, the Evertune standard saddles can...

    Do the squabbins affect the sound compared to non? squabbins.

    Evertune Bridge DIY on a PRS SE Custom 24

    Thank you. It worked out well. I agree the wood filler piece is small and hardly noticeable. Next time I do this (I won't ever do this again) I'll make sure to align the wood grains. It just irks me when I look at the picture that I put the little wood piece in 90 degrees to the direction of...

    Evertune Bridge DIY on a PRS SE Custom 24

    I'll post back with a week or two of follow up after playing with it. Currently it's tuned to E standard with 9-42 strings. I usually like to tune to Eb with the same strings but I can't with the current set of saddles on the Evertune. The B string saddle would need to be swapped out for a...

    Evertune Bridge DIY on a PRS SE Custom 24

    I was never fully happy with the tuning stability of my PRS SE Custom 24. Despite changing the nut and doing all the tricks on this forum. However, I do really like the feel and look of the guitar so I decided to take a shot at installing an Evertune bridge. They seem to get good reviews on...
