Alnus Rubra
Loving nature’s wonders
To clear something up, the fixed bridge IS adjustable, just not for each string. Two set screws - one on each end - allow intonation adjustments. IMHO, that bridge is one of PRS’s most brilliant designs and stays in tune flawlessly. It’s one less thing I have to worry about because it just works. After years of gigging my 245, it never let me down. Even in completely stock configuration, it was sick! Yes, I swapped the pickups a while back to fit my needs but the SE 245/Santana pickups and electronics sounded and functioned beautifully. The pots and harness are still in there today. No, I don’t have a standard in this model (mostly because I have all-hog guitars coming out of my ears around here) but would imagine the experience would be similar.
No Boogie comment on an SE245 thread would be complete without a video clip of my 245 misbehaving in my dining room with an old Boogie MkIII at gig volume.
I love some SE 245 action!
And remember folks “Free Tibet with every gallon of gasoline!”
Obligatory gift guitar shot coming right up!
