Hey All,
About 6 months ago I had a chance to discover PRS by getting an incredible deal on a new 2019 Custom Core 22 in Trampas Green. I kick myself now after all these years for not giving any consideration to PRS! Although it may have been kinder to my pocketbook, I think of the years I’ve missed out on playing such an incredible guitar.
Well I started to look for a Custom Core 24 because I needed to have that owl... and I was so impressed with my 22. I wasn’t sure between the standard Trem or the Floyd. I play out and a few songs we have I use the trem quite heavy on. I had seen a few articles online saying that the current trems on the PRS line will hang with the Floyd’s almost just as well. I get that it won’t be perfect as there is no locking nut.
Turns out that I had another great opportunity to obtain a new PRS. This time is was a 2019 Custom Core 24 10 Top in Charcoal “Hybrid”. It has the standard PRS trem on it like my 22.
I’m looking for any heavy trem users out there for tips on how to keep it in better tune. I have cranked the springs in so that I cannot pull up on it. When I do any dives, it seems like the strings stay sharp when it returns to the zero position. If I use my fingers and pull the strings up away from the neck, they drop back down to almost the correct pitch. I’ve tried using some nut lube, but that’s not really helping.
Any tips or thoughts you can share would be greatly appreciated!
