Intonation tool

[John C Blattner]

I recently bought an SE Hollowbody II Piezo, and I notice that the screws for adjusting intonation are located directly under the strings. Is there a special tool for this? I can't figure out how I could get a regular screwdriver into position.

I believe you loosen the string, adjust the bridge, retune, and then recheck the intonation.

Good point, I just thought maybe PRS made some sort of L-shaped screwdriver that would save steps.

I know Klein Tools makes them. I have a set in my tool bag for work.
They won’t work, though. Not enough room between the bridge and pickup.

You really shouldn’t skip the step of loosening the strings, even if the screw was more readily available…

I just got the same guitar and had the same question. Did you ever figure it out? The only way I can see to get a straight screwdriver in there is to lower the bridge pickup all the way down and move the string out of the way. Is there an easier way?
