HELP! PRS

[WEDGE]

I had a badly set up trem on a CE when I got it. Used the instructions on John Manns site and in minutes it is perfect. It used to pop out just like described above, now silky smooth. key is right size alklen wrench to use as a spacer and then it goes real quick. Setting the bridge tension/angle is easy after a little trial and error.

All great advice in this thread

One small observation from a fellow user of the metric system; the relief should be set at 0.25mm NOT 2mm (PRS setup guide says .010" = 0.254mm).

Highly recommended setting this first (and again if you change string gauge) then the bridge height (with the 2 x trem claw screws), then the action (with the 12 x saddle adjustment allen key grub screws). You'll just be chasing your tail otherwise

Hi Man!
Thanks for replying! and thanks for the advices, its great! I'll do exactly that nex time, it's wonderfull to learn all this things! it really fun to set up a guitar!
I'm going to order a set of understring gauge to get them to match the fretboard radius!
Thank you so much!

Glad it is working!

The 6 screws should be level. You can adjust the two if you need to, they look pretty good to me, in the latest photos.

The action (string height) is really just whatever you like. It doesn't have to be a set height. Same with the 1.6mm. If you like it where it is, leave it there. The height looks fine in the photos.

As for 11's. If you put them on you will have to adjust the 2 claw screws again to level the trem. Other than that, they could bind in the nut but usually don't if you are only going up to 11's. You can try it and see. They will make bending harder and will feel stiffer, but they won't hurt anything if you re-set the trem.

Man! Thank you thank you thank you very much! You took you time to explain me everything I needed, I really apreciate that! I was about to send my guitar back to sweetwater instead of buying my amp, thanks to you I was able to buy my new baby, and my IRT Studio arrived last friday, and it sounds great! Thank you man! You are great, big hugs from Mexico!
