Tone Matters. Use It Well.
Hey, folks,
Earlier this year, I acquired a PRS S2 SC Std A/W from Reverb. The guitar required a slight adjustment in pickup height for the guitar to sound its best.
More recently, a PRS S2 SC Satin Std was also acquired, and that guitar received a set-up and intonation.
Comparing the 2, the Satin Std IMHO sounds better than the gloss Std A/W.
My question is, the Std. A/W never received a proper set-up/intonation straight from the shipping carton. Other than the notes from the PRS website, are there any YT videos that teach how to set-up and intonate an adjustable bridge S2 SC? (My tool collection includes a machinist's rule as well as several Phillip's head screwdrivers in various sizes)
(Have viewed John Ingram's PRS videos Parts 1 & 2. Not a lot of mention what to do with adjustable bridges like those of S2 SCs)
The main reason I'd prefer to try this myself is because my amp crapped out yesterday, and my work schedule has me off from work next week, so no money flow incoming then. Will need to replace my tubes. Would like to conserve some funds and perform the set-up/intonation myself rather than allow a tech to do the work, which is $80 I'd prefer to save.
