tremolo

Greetings to the members of the forum. My name is Haris and this is my first post. I have recently bought a 1999 PRS Custom 22 Tremolo 10-Top. The guitar is awesome but unfortunately the original owner had lost the tremolo bar. Do I need a push-in tremolo bar or a the one that turns like a...

Greetings all, I’ve searched the forum and online and haven’t really found the answers I need. I recently purchased a new PRS SE Custom 24 from Sweetwater. As with most every SE I’ve purchased, there are always minor hardware quality issues which can be upgraded with better made hardware. For...

Does anyone know where I can get a plain tremolo arm for my 21 custom 24 us model? It’s pretty elusive. Thanks in advance

Greetings all PRS’ers, I don’t know if it’s luck of the draw or what…but I ordered a SE Swamp Ash (Iris Blue) Tuesday of last week from zZounds and actually received the guitar this past Saturday. I decided I’m keeping this specific guitar because I don’t want to get into a cycle of...

Hi Everyone, I have a CE 24 that I'm trying to set up. I was wondering if anyone could provide the factory specs or pictures of their saddles. When I bought my guitar new, the saddle bottoms weren't parallel (the two screws were different heights on each saddle) with the bottom of the bridge...

Here is my new baby. I managed to track down a CE with 58/15 LT pickups, courtesy of a Willcutt 50th anniversary run when 50 of them were made in all kinds of finishes in 2018. Of course I did some cosmetic mods to make it my own: amber knobs, custom truss cover rod cover, changing the...

I received a 2020 PRS Tremonti SE and it has a tremolo bar. I never had one before on past guitars so I try to slide it into hole for the bar. I can’t get but the tip of the bar in the hole. I took the lock screw all the way out, after I descoveres it, and still cannot get the bar to slide in to...

Hi folks, I hop it's okay, to open a new thread for this. If one describing the same problem already exists, I'd appreciate it, if you'd post a link to the specific thread. So I own a PRS Custom 22 (should be a 1997/1998) with a phase 2 trem. One day I realized, that it won't stay in tune...

Make your voice heard!

Hi folks, Happy Saturday:) Thanks for all your lovely words on the NGD thread. Really made my day which is saying something, given it was a NGD of such epic proportions. As promised, here is the video review where you can hear and see the guitar a bit better. Beyond what I say in the video, a...

Hi all. I bought a 2020 CE24 about 2 months ago, and within the past couple of days there has been some buzzing/ringing emanating from the bridge area. I adjusted the truss rod, check my action, and everything looks fine. It started with the low E, and now its also on the A string. When I pluck...

So recently I noticed that my prs se 24 standard only has 3 springs instead of 4(or 5) . So my question is which springs fit in for my prs se 24 standard,because I need them due to the fact that my guitar bridge is very high know(cause it only has 3 springs in it)

I can't find a definitive answer concerning the available trem systems and their manufacturing materials? (including 'here'): ...does anyone have actual knowledge (not guesses) as to what trems. are available and what they are made of please? e.g. core CE SE S2 e.g. block springs screws the...

My new DGT came with a straight tremolo arm. It didn’t feel right to me since the arm was too close to the strings. I ordered another arm from a seller on Reverb and got the more traditional arm with a crook in it. Is the straight arm a DGT thing? I can’t seem to find a pic online of a DGT (or...

Hey guys, I have been having some serious troubles with the trem system in my Custom 22, so I decided to just block the thing off. I blocked with a little piece of wood sanded down to fit in the cavity (as seen in the photo below). Now that I have the block in though, there is an angle to the...

Hey guys! I have finally come over from the dark side and picked up my first PRS... and it's beautiful! It's a Paul Reed Smith Custom 22 in Antique Violin Amber. It's a 1999 which is the first year of production for the short-lived left-handed core series. I will post another post in a few days...

Hey guys, I am new to the PRS world, I just got my first PRS this week (a 1999 PRS Custom 22) which is left-handed (first year of production lefty). The only issue is, the guitar shipped to me without a tremolo arm. I've done extensive research online, and I can safely say that I have been...

Hi all, New PRS owner here, with a 2017 Wood Library Custom 24-08. Absolutely delighted with it but one minor irritation: the tremolo arm doesn't sit where I want it to. Is there a method for tightening it? I'd like it to sit at an angle, diagonal to the body. Any advice welcome. Thanks!

Hello all, I have two PRS, a CU24 and a CU22. Both with tremolo bridge, strung with 10-46s and tuned E-Standard. I bought both second hand/used. When I got the CU24 I got used to a stiffer string tension and didn't really bother with the bridge height. I left it as I received it because the...

Hey fellow PRS friends, I'm having some issue's with tuning stability with my 2011 Custom 24. When I first purchased it brand new, it stayed in tune incredibly well. After a few years of owning it, I decided to have a bone nut installed by a mediocre guitar tech. After she botched the job and...
