I decided to upgrade the bridge on my PRS SE DGT and ordered one (all nickel) from John. I followed the instructions to a tee. Drilling out the holes as instructed for the new screws. Watched his video on how to install using the 2.5mm wrench to set the screw height. Problem is, using the new screws, the bridge was binding. It would not pivot properly. Also, the trem arm side of the brass block barley clears the body cavity. I didn't notice if the SE bridge does this before removing.
I decided to try putting the original SE screws in. They seemed to be a bit smaller maybe. The bridge behaved better, and I was able to keep the bridge flat against the body while adjusting the screw height. I strung it up and now the trem doesn't return to original position. It makes a small click sound when you try to use it. It feels like it might be binding just a hair. Not sure. Probably something I did incorrectly but I did read and reread the instructions and followed them faithfully. Maybe I got the one SE where the holes were now perfectly aligned and won't work with the aftermarket bridge.
