SE 277 Upgrades

[DanielGiglio]

Hey all! first time owner of a PRS and loving it, the quality of the "Cheaper" models such as my Brand new SE 277 is incredible, really in love with it.

There are some (aesthetically) things i would like to change; Black Locking Tuners and a Black Bridge. wondering if anyone has installed a Hipshot 41060 Bridge on a prs? or what bridges have you upgraded to?

Thanks!

Cool!
Did you keep it tuned to B Standard?

Its currently tuned to A Standard, just trying to find the right string / tuning balance

Just waiting patiently, as I have been for two to three years now, for John Mann to make a bridge for these. I actually have a couple Hipshots in my parts bin but never wanted to drill the holes to install them just to check them out.

Also, if you do locking tuners, I'm sure there are some out there, but you'll need to make sure the big low string fits in the hole. Some tuners (and I don't know which ones, sorry) don't have a big enough hole to fit the beefy string. There's a sex/porn joke in there. I'm not going to be the one to type it.

I’m pretty sure John has a thread going at the moment about SE Baritone bridges.

EDIT: I see you’re already on it (whistling I believe!)

Here is how your headstock will look with black tuner keys.

yeah thats the only issue im not really keen on drilling new holes either.. might just take the bridge apart and paint it black some how.. ok cool thanks for the heads up with the tuners, i had a couple i was looking at but i forgot to bookmark them now i have forgotten lol
