PRS Trem slipped on screws

[Random Gecko]

On a gig this evening, I went to pop my in my trem arm on my BM in a hurry and hadn’t noticed that the bridge was tilted back. I’d changed strings last night without stretching so perhaps it had dropped.

As I pushed the arm in, I felt a little resistance and suddenly heard a sound which it turned out was me pushing the trem off of the mounting screw knife edge points on the high E side. Once I got the arm in and pushed down on the trem, it popped right back into the correct place.

Have I possibly done any damage here to either the screws or the knife edges? The guitar still plays the same and is returning to perfect tune but is there anything else I should look out for?

Definitely possible if you chip or create a sharp edge on the knife edge or the screw, but if it's returning to tune without problems then you are most likely just fine.

Adjusting the screw heights under tension is much more likely to cause damage than having the knife edge slip once.

And so I will.
I'll leave the name and job stuff for the sig.
I bought my first PRS used in 1988 or so, a Std24. I had heard of these, and got lucky enough to find one. Wish I still had it, but I sold it to buy a Super 400...
I play Klein guitars a lot. I have three. I know Lorenzo German pretty well. (Please, if you're one of his former customers, don't ask me to help you get your guitar that you ordered way back there, I have one on order too.). I try to keep my GAS disease under control, but guitars are tax write offs for me, so it's pretty easy food near me to justify them.
After years of looking at them again, I bought a Hollowbody Spruce from Brian Meader when he was still at Washington Music Center near DC, three years ago. Then I bought a Studio from him last year. I love that too. It sounds different, and I like that. I want a P22.
I play jazz. Not much rock and roll. But I do like to get a variety of sounds from a guitar, and these do it.
I really admire PRSh's drive to make a really good instrument. I've never met him, but I'd like to. He seems to be just a bit obsessed about making things as good as he can, and I really like that.
My job is in the Maritime provinces of Canada, and there's not much available. I'd like to try one of the new amps, but there aren't any near me there.
Guitars are more fun than just about anything else.
I'm in.
