I put 59/09s on my CE22.

PRS SE Custom 24. US PRS nut, locking tuners, 500k pot, Mannmade USA NOS2000 vibrato, US PRS HFS and Vintage pickups.

SE's are made for 009's not 10's so the strings need to change for sure. Most likely that is all you would need. I also changed the nut on my SE for a regular PRS nut and changed the trem springs for regular PRS trem strings. Teflon lube on the string path - anywhere the string touches metal...

I have also used a small Allen wrench to push the string through.

Many references here to a false charge of illegally importing hardwoods. Gibson had an agreement with that country for the importation. There is no US law forbidding it. The issue was actually around a law over there, not here, that requires that Inian labor finish the boards there prior to...

I think I also need to know the size of the studs as well because the problem with the PRS adjustable bridge seems to be the stud size as opposed to the adjustable stoptail itself.

Does anyone know the stud spacing on the stoptail for an SE? Specifically the Hollowbody. I was thinking of getting one for my son but wanted to get an adjustable stop tail so I could set the intonation. I see many sources for adjustable stop tails but I am unsure if they will work. I only see...
