Advice needed on hardware upgrade.

[Chris Edwards]

Hi there,

I am currently looking into upgrading some hardware on my PRS SE Custom 24 Amethyst Quilt Top 30th Anniversary. Mainly the bridge, tuners and pickups. Ive never changed the hardware on any of my guitars before so have no idea whats best etc.

Could anyone point me in the right direction?

As for the pickups i mainly play hard rock/metal and would like to get a tone similar to Black stone cherry and Shinedown.

Thanks in advance.

Bridge: MannMade 2000NOS
Tuners: Grover 406C (chrome) or 406G (gold) mini-rotomatics - direct drop in, locking.
Pickups: Very personal. Maybe some 59/09s or \M/

Pics? Happy upgrading!

Big +3 on the Mann trem. I don't mind doing a little drilling, so personally I'd go Phase III on the tuners. And Carl's right on the pick ups. Too personal.
