How to lower action on SE Paul's Guitar?

[Stephen Larcovic]

My action is a little higher than I like, so I'm going to put on a set of 009's and lower the action. Is this merely lowering the stop tailpiece/bridge?

Thanks

For the most part. You'll probably have to tweak the trussrod too. When I do my setups, I like a bit of back bow on the neck so when I'm playing in the 10th - 14th fret I have room to dig in.

Oh, on the PRS stoptail, use a quarter to lower it. Loosen the strings, make a couple of tweaks, retune and repeat until you have the height you want. Using a flathead with the guitar at pitch will knick up the posts.
