Some help with Santana SE trem bridge

[blubarb]

Hi all.

First post and something of a PRS newby. I just got the Santana SE which is a great guitar for me. However, there's a couple of points I would like some clarification on.

1. I noticed that the trem bridge is not parallel to the body of the guitar, should it be?

2. The bottom E saddle is extended right back not giving much more backwards movement should I need to sharpen the intonation. (see pic)

For some reason I thought the PRS trem bridge was meant to be parallel to the body front and back. I could pull back on the springs to drop it but maybe that will drop the bridge too low.

Intonation is good at the moment.

Appreciate your thoughts and ideas.





Thanks

My SE Santana looks exactly the same as yours, no issues.

You're fine. The body slopes away so it makes the trem look like it's leaning forward. It's all good.
