Special Semi-Hollow Bridge After String Change

[JohnMayer'sTherapist]

Hey guys, got my SSH today and put on some 48-10.5s in place of the Factory 46-10s. I noticed the bridge has pulled up a bit (to be expected) but the action seems to be fine. What’s the easiest was to bring it down without having to do a full setup? Can I just tighten the springs down a bit?

Yep, tighten the claw screws a bit, and you might need to adjust intonation for the new string size.

I don't believe in the Specials unless there is a picture...

The neck may develop a little more relief over the next few days, don't be surprised if it feels a bit tighter.

Thanks guys! I'll probably have it set up after everything has a chance to settle.

A wee tip if you’re taking all the strings off a trem loaded PRS is to put some playing cards under the trem to keep it at the correct height. I find it makes it a lot easier when tuning up a new set of strings.
