Zach Myers adjustable PRS SE bridge - is that USA made?

[MikeChandler]

Is the stock bridge on the Zach Myers a USA unit? I've taken mine off the guitar, and am examining it... it matches the USA pictures 100%, it appears to be the same thing.

What am I missing?

Did they ship these with USA bridges because there are too few PRS SE with an adjustable bridge to bother tooling for them?

No answers?

It might actually be a USA part. I'll try calling PRS to find out.

The one that was on mine seemed pretty flimsy for a USA part, but I bought it preowned and it may not have been the original bridge.

I'd like to see pics of it. Mine looks like this:

I will have to grab pics of it from my Dad's house later in the week as he maintains our parts stash.

I guess I suck at searches - I did not see that thread before, thanks.

The answer is definitively SE import parts, both the pickups and bridge.

I spoke to PRS (Matt) on the phone today, and he confirmed that. He also said they gave them the full design specs, so the bridges would be indistinguishable appearance-wise, except for the saddles. Everything but the saddles, screws, and the material used are the same spec.

The USA bridge should be lighter, as it's all aluminum. I found one on reverb.com for $130 so I will give it a try. I already swapped pickups, and I am waiting for a set of CTS pots (I have no fear of drilling the holes). I replaced the zinc anchors last night with steel ones.

Thanks!
