PRS SE Custom 24 - Tremolo

[ahaysley]

I have owned the PRS SE Custom 24 for about 5 months. I absolutely love this guitar, but the tremolo bar either falls out while I'm playing without using it or it falls out in my hand. My Fender had a screw in tremolo bar, but this one just sits in there. How do I keep it from popping out?

Welcome to the forum.
Your SE also has a set allen screw, at least my 2012 does.

yeah, there's a hex screw at the intonation screw side, at the right side of the tremolo if you're looking up from the bottom. There's supposed to be an included hex key for adjusting the bridge saddles when you buy the guitar. Use that provided key and give the hex screw a twist, tweak it to your preferred trem arm tension, and voila!

Many thanks. Lesson learned. Bought guitar in-store and they did not provide the hex key. Problem solved.

Glad you got it sorted out! Nothing feels worse than having your guitar halfway through the set-up and realise you're missing something essential! :laugh:
