Did PRS ever use a "screw in" type trem bar similar to Strats? The guitar in question is a 2015 10 top custom 24.
No I didn't. I was on a Strat forum and somebody inquired about if a Strat trem arm would fit a PRS. I replied no as they are unthreaded. He replied that I was wrong and his 2015 Core C24 did in fact have a treaded trem arm. I was 99% sure that was wrong, but wanted to verify with the experts here.Please tell us you didn’t purchase something…
That's what I was thinking.Nope. If it has one, the guitar is either a fake or the bridge has been replaced.
Whew!No I didn't. I was on a Strat forum and somebody inquired about if a Strat trem arm would fit a PRS. I replied no as they are unthreaded.

I agree 100% I don't consider myself a "Strat" guy, more a guitar guy. I do have a few Strats and the trem has always been something I don't like. The jack on the front of the guitar, hate it. I have a couple of Gibson, obviously no trem, but I like the hum buckers. I feel like PRS is the "best of both worlds". They got it right on everything.I still don’t understand why most new fenders come with the old trem system. It’s pretty terrible. The fact you have to screw in and use a tension spring inside is pretty crazy to me nearly 70 years later. If you ask me I think callaham trem blocks are the only way to go for fenders (excluding the ultra lines which are modern). And even then they won’t come close to the beauty of a PRS trem system.
I am 100% sure PRS never made any kind of trem bar…Not that I'm aware of. I can't say 100% no, but 99%.
