Hello,
I have a 2018 PRS Custom 22 SE. And I know it has sometime tuning stability problem.
I passed from the stock 9-42 strings to D'Addario 10.5-48 (werid gauge, I know).
My luthier set the bridge lower to get a lower action.
That was ok, I didn't notice before that, but I have with this guitar serious problem with the tuning. Not a string in particular, but the problem is with all the strings. I can't use the bar else I increase the pitch of all the strings.
If I don't have the bar and all the strings are in tune, if I slightly hit the bridge with the hand pushing down, even slightly, the tune rise up. I have to bend the bridge back or bend one of the string to bring the guitar in tune.
Yesterday, I rised up the bridge acting with the screw (with no strings tension), and I noticed that the treble strings side was lower than the low strings side.
Today I changed the strings. I tried to setup the bridge, and I noticed that it has a bit of slack, so I searched the right position, mounted the springs and the new strings. The height of the bridge seemed more balanced. I tuned the strings, but when I used the bar I heard like a bedding stroke of the bridge that hit the body of the guitar and the height was lower, so the action of the strings, and again the treble strings side of the bridge was lower.
I can't understand if the guitar is faulty or it something else, I really need a PRS expert, please.
Thank you.
