The screws should be level across all 6 and the tremolo should pivot on all 6 knife edges. Do this carefully as to not ruin the screws as you're suppose to do this without tension on the strings if you can. If it is not parallel you have to adjust the 6 knife edge screws in the front of the tremolo. Both the treble side and the bass side should be even and parallel to the top. Same thing with the side to side height if you're looking at the trem from behind. If the back of the bridge is angled upwards then we tighten the springs. If the springs are pulling the back of the bridge down we loosen them. The SE trems are setup at the factory in Maryland so that they sit level with the top.

Side to side it sits a hair lower on the treble side and sits at a slight rearward 'rake' or angle. Last four pics are of the older SE with the bridge sitting approx 1.25 mm above the body. Side to side it sits a hair lower on the treble side but otherwise the bridge is pretty level with the body. Thanks for advice/ opinions.įirst 4 pics are of the newer SE with the bridge sitting approx 2.20 mm above the body. specs are exactly the same on both guitars. Do you think it's strange, incorrect, concerning, etc that one bridge sits so much higher than the other one? Again. On my newer SE that height is about 2.20 mm.Įither with that information and/ or with these pictures. The gap between the bottom of the trem-bridge and the top of the body is about 1.25 mm on my older SE. Action on both guitars feels perfect but I wonder if I were to lower the bridge ( to make it 'right' or for any reason), that the action on the upper frets would be too low. My worry is simply whether or not this looks 'right'. It doesn't bother me but I did want to get some opinions whether or not there is any reason to be concerned. Noticed today on my new PRS SE, that the trem-bridge sits noticeably higher than the same trem-bridge on my other older SE.
