I took my SE 24 Standard to a shop that has previously done very good work. What I got back was rough. The trem was screwed down too low to float properly, the neck relief was wrong leaving me with fret rattle, and the bone nut they cut and installed has a gap between the fretboard and the nut...

I have a 2019 SE Standard 24. I was thinking of replacing the stock tuners with the PRS SE locking tuners. Are they heavier, the same, or lighter than stock? Easy to use? Easy to install for a relative klutz? All my other guitars have had standard tuners so I don't know if it's worth it or if...

Got a response from the owner, checked all the boxes for my concerns and I feel a lot better. Looking forward to getting it back, should be a lot of fun.

Mother of God, he just cut strings under full tension.

I sent an email to the owner explaining my concern over the comment, and offered to come get the guitar if I wasn't worth dealing with. We'll see how it goes. They've done great work for me in the past on other guitars, just not a PRS with a tremolo, and PRS has put the fear of God in me when it...

Took the guitar in for a setup to Southeast Guitar Repair in Buford, GA. It'll have the intonation checked, neck relief, etc. I was talked into going with a bone nut, something I had been considering. Either the bone or a PRS Core nut, you know? They would install a Core nut but preferred bone...

Obviously I have some catching-up to do. I got a Katana Mini today by the way, great little amp for home practice without blowing your ears out.

My bad! Delete away!

Looking at picking one up for a quiet practice amp. Seems to me it makes more sense to get something like the Mini for playing at low volume, instead of using, say, a Katana 50 on the 0.5 watt setting. Any fans, haters, ambivalent folks with an opinion that want to chew the fat?

Good to know! I took a look at the screw height for the bridge pivots and they are a bit uneven - the outer I think are a bit lower, the middle four are a bit higher and a little uneven. I assume that might cause an issue? If the nut is an issue, I've seen some folks putting on a wide/thin nut...

Happy owner of a PRS SE Standard 24 in blue here, with a few questions. When playing, the low E string sounds louder than all the other strings. I'm using 9-42 gauge. It's louder on both the neck and bridge pickup. The adjustment screws on the humbuckers for the E pole look to be no higher...

Haven't tried PRS Signatures yet. Tried D'Addario XTs and Elixir Nanowebs, and both my Taylor acoustic and my PRS SE24 prefer the Elixirs. Or I do.

I've got a Vox AC4C1-12 as my sole amp right now. It's beautiful when it's got gain and volume up around noon or higher, but with a small child in the house and less than happy neighbors, I'm playing it with volume and gain just a hair off of zero. Playing it at that low volume it sounds thin...

2019 PRS SE Standard 24. I guess I'm going back to 9s!

Okay, help me out here. I bought a new set of strings at the same time I bought the guitar, and my quick Google search said PRS used 9s on the SE line. Got a set of Elixirs. But stringing it up, it felt like the action was off a bit from playing in the store, a little lower, and there was more...
