SE/S2 Trem upgrade, any experience or thoughts?

[andy474x]

Watched the very nice video for the Mann bridge installation lastnight, wondering if anyone can give me some feedback on their experience installing a new trem bridge on their SE or S2? Particularly, effects on tone and tuning stability?

My SECU24 is a pretty bright axe, so I'm wondering if the Mann or USA PRS trem will change the tone much. On the other hand, my S2 Custom is spot on, both the tone and tuning stability. So, what say the masses?

I have also been waiting for a before/after video.

I've done this and there is a noticeable different. The SE trem is a fine bridge, but the USA version makes the tone fuller and more complex. Acoustically, it's very obvious. Stability-wise, I don't think there's anything in it. With the same nut and tuners, I think it'd be mechanically identical.
