I have that same guitar myself.
If you care to spend like $99, you can get a set of 6 locking tuners, original PRS and easy to swap for between $85-105 last I checked.
Thanks! And you too!
Yeah I ended up taking it to a luthier as I didn't want to experiment on it too much myself. He mentioned the nut needs to be adjusted (loosened) among other things.
Will get it back in a few days and shoot an update.
Well, I'd rather save the money for those locking tuners but... Done is done.
The action should be very easy to correct if it is already adjusted too low. Just raise it back up!
It's a different story if you have to raise the strings too much and end up with a (for me at least) unplayable piece of cra... something.
No need to change the nut. Also I wouldn't recommend using the graphite approach, as most pencils are cheaply produced and contain lots of stuff that may
have an opposite effect, and cause string breakage and nut damage. Just use that firm lip balm stick (wax) you get everywhere and apply it using a tooth-pick in the cracks on the nut and on other contact points along the
strings travel. Also, you might try switching string gauge to using 10's if you use 9's that the SE's usually comes with. That made a huge difference for me. No more trouble with buzzing or anything, and can keep the action much lower because of the increased tension.
Had to adjust the tremolo a bit and fix the intonation, but after that it was and is perfectissimo!
