Nothing to do, right? (xxx pic inside!)

[Gigi]

I was disassembling one of my PRSes, and I had this painful surprise...

I'm not anymore a tremolo guy so, I can think about docking or blocking the tremolo...

I already contacted the PRS customer service for an opinion.
We are talking of a 20+ years old PRS CE22, one of the previous owners liked to tighten the screws too much I think.

What do you think?

Thanks.

If you're just going to block it, i wouldn't worry about it. Otherwise, it's time for a MannMade USA.

It's too much expensive considering what I paid for the guitar, I will raise a bit the 2 saddles on the low side and then put a shim of wood against the tremolo block.

Completely random question... what's-up with the G-saddle? The string-groove is different.

Yes, you make me notice that... Seems that it' not been filed till the end, where the groove basically point down to the body. But is the original saddle, from the top you don't notice the difference.

Sorry, I don't get it...

I took the guitar home from the luthier who fixed some frets for me.
The notes on the G string have too quickly decay compared to the other strings, I guess it is due to the notch on the saddle which is not completely finished.

That Vise Idea Is a really good suggestion! strip those saddles wrap her in painters tape and clamp her up for a few hours
