    Changed String Brand, Now They Catch on the Nut When Using the Tremolo Arm

    Hey Everyone, I bought a Silver Sky SE and finally changed the strings recently to NYXL 10-46. Now, when I use the tremolo arm, the strings catch (in the nut slots) and some jump wildy out of tune. Is this normal? I'd rather not drive to get the nut slots recut. Debating buying the PRS strings...

    Tuning stability - E/A/D

    With my new S2 Custom 24, the whammy works great. The high E/B/G strings seem to stay in tune totally fine but the E/A/D seem to go sharp every time. I am using 10-46, the strings seem to fit wonderfully in the nut slots. I also use Tri-Flow and big bends nut sauce on the saddles and nut slots...

    Classic to Signature 9-42 strings.

    I have been using Classic 9-42 strings on my SE 245 for the past three years. I was thinking of switching to the Signature line (same gauge) to see if the feel or sound is any different. Will making the change require a new setup?

    PRS SE Custom 22 - Tuning stability

    Hello, I bought a PRS SE Custom 22 2018 one year ago. I restringed it after some months, from the original 9-42 strings to the D'Addario 10.5-48 and the string tension of the unwound strings was really too much. My personal technic fixed it lowering the bridge. The strings are a bit more harder...

    String gauges.

    Hello everyone, May I ask? Just picked up my new PRS CE with string gauge 10. I'm used to 9's and am wondering if I will have to have my guitar set up specifically for the lower gauge? Advice welcome. Thank you :-)

    PRS Signature strings: Quick thoughts

    These intrigued me when they were launched some months ago but only recently arrived at my local guitar shop. Picked up today, installed these onto my 513 Rosewood .. and was blown away!!! Two things stood out for me in particular - harmonic quality to notes. The 513 has a harmonic bloom quality...

    PRS Strings?

    Got a new McCarty 594. Played the bejeezus out of the factory strings as I loathe waste. They had a great slinky feel. Finally wore em out and replaced with Ernie Ball 10s, my go-to. The feel is markedly different. Not exactly stiffer, but I can't think of a better word for it. For the...

    String storage in high humidity

    I had 2 sets of electric 9.5 strings that I bought 13 months ago. When I opened the envelopes, the plain strings had rust areas. I took a scotch brite pad to clean them off, but the corrosion had eaten into the strings and the 1st string broke in the middle of the neck. I tried one from the...

    Quality Control of PRS Packaged Strings

    I've been a regular purchaser of the PRS 9.5 electric guitar strings. I believe they are OEM-ed from D'Addario. Over the past 6 months I've noticed there's been a drop in quality of these strings. In particular the high strings are not smooth as they used to be. Even a relative of mine who's...

    Question about guitar's nut and string gauge.

    I thought I'd try a heavier gauge of string than I'm used to, and bought some 11 - 56's. But from the D to the low E string, the strings were a little too wide and wouldn't fit in the nut. I have a Standard 24, so I'm guessing maybe that's why. If I need to replace the nut to be able to use...

    Has anyone strung their PRS SE with a set of 12's?

    Hi, I'm thinking about using 12's (Ernie Ball Not Even Slinky 12-56) on my PRS Tremonti Custom SE. I'd like to know if anyone has tried to do this, if so, what kind of changes have you had to make to accommodate such a heavy gauge, what changes do you recommend? - Billy
