Hey fam, I have had my 2017 PRS for a while now and still fricken love it. However, I would very much like to know how you guys with the same guitar have your bridges set up so that the vibrato is usable?

Currently there are 4 springs in, which makes it feel stiff but im afraid of changing it and losing tuning stability. its also floating but just barely. I would say about 1mm. What height is ideal?

Hey,
You will have all informations here : http://www.prsguitars.com/csc/bridges.html
"Adjust the claw screws about 1/4 turn at a time until the bridge floats perpendicular to and about 1/16th off the body. Tune to pitch and check, re-adjust until the bridge sits properly."
So the good heigh is 1/16 = 1.59mm

No offence toward your knowledge, but if you’re adjusting bridge screws, release the string tension!

Happy adjusting

If your trem works as it should and stays in tune with use then remove a spring but move the remaining 3 so they are even.

As said above if trem needs to tilt up then loosen claw screws on back of guitar in trem cavity 1/4 turn each at a time, retune and check for level.

Don't fool with the 6 fulcrum screws and you'll be fine.

I also recommend trying three trem springs - you may need to tightened them up via the claw screws, as gush stated.
