Back in post #1631 I said I was going to get the Mann/PRS Hybrid Bridge. Well, after a minor bump in the road, I finally got it. Short story long, I ordered the bridge on reverb, John Mann sent me the bridge, which arrived while I was out of town for work. When I got home, I opened the box and thought wow what a beautiful piece of work, 'this will look great on my . . . my . . . wait . . . this isn't the bridge I ordered.
' 'This is a two pin bridge, I know I ordered the 6 pin hybrid with brass block bridge. A quick check of Reverb confirmed what I knew to be true. It was close to 5 pm but I had to take a chance and call and see what could be done.
Anyway, I am boring myself with this story.
I got the correct bridge in on Wednesday and installed today when I got home from the other side of the state. Unboxed and installed it in under an hour. No drilling, no damage to my CU24, no damage to the bridge. The only adjustment needed was raising the ADG and B saddles to match the neck radius. What really shocked me was I didn't need to make
any adjustments for intonation.
Thank you to John Mann and his staff for working with me and providing such an amazing piece of gear.
Here are some pics of the work:
