Definitely more clarity and definition, sounds brighter, but still a great degree of roundness in the tone. Works for me, great job.

Brass actually adds midrange. In this case, it was more clarity with the steel bridge.

Appreciate the demo, I was going to get one for a parts caster project. I think it doesn’t make a big difference either way. I’m going for the Wilkinson wvpc instead. I have a Harley Benton cst 24 and I’m happy with the one in it. Same bridge.

Brass block makes a noticeable difference

I actually liked the SE bridge the most. Warmer, richer, and fuller sound to my ears

No doubt they are good. It depends on the tone you are looking for. I ended up putting this bridge on my strat copy which needed it more since the PRS SE bridge are already very good to begin with.

Hi, did you use the tremolo arm heavily? That's my main concern with PRS SE model.

This is a great video, thank you. I prefer PRS bridge more volume and juicy, another one also is not bad very sweet sounding.

I bought one, it is a very nice piece of hardware. Thanks for posting.

@@davespin9034 hi, I’m more interested in how you modify the block? I had so many ideas, placing a screw in the string holes, deep drilling and making a pseudo Gotoh FST style bridge plate and block holes. I believe the string binding on the bridge plate as it comes out of the block is the root cause and I also believe people have been brainwashed to believe it is the nut, 100% the nut isn’t the main reason. I’m really interested in your mods if you don’t mind sharing.

@@jaypaduadesigns to me the sound is clearer and I got a smoother sustain, it dependes also on the pickups thats on the guitar, I got a harley benton cst. And the roswell sound really great. It's a good mix, the steel block and the brass saddles give a nice sound.

Just bought the pro version for my Pacifica. Unfortunately it is the Stratocaster version, because I had a lower budget, and they don't do the prs style with that string spacing for that price. Big brass block and looks amazing, but I like this one better.

The music Lilly SE brass block also fits the US CE 24 . I have one in my CE 24

How much did this upgrade cost?

My prs se 24 custom has fret buzz. I leveled and crowned frets, adjusted truss rod, bridge etc and there is still buzz. I believe that vuzz comes from tremolo. Did you have the similar problem and did new bridge affdct buzz?

@jaypaduadesigns

2 жыл бұрын

coincidentally, i had the same issue recently, apparently it was the nut. I cut the slot too low so the buzzing was with the first fret. I was able to fix it by removing the nut, adding wood material w superglue and sanding down again and re did the nut slots.

@KeepChessSimple

This can come from tremolo springs (there are videos where people fill the springs with foam), loose saddle screws, or even pickup springs!

I dunno, I feel like it actually sounded like an upgrade? Slightly clearer and brighter? I know it’s Chinese but I’m considering buying this for my SE also now!

@jaypaduadesigns

yes it is an upgrade for me definitely, machined saddles plus the brass block really makes a difference. I have it now on my PRS SE EG!

I'm begging them to just make brass saddles for them too at least I need gold hardware on my silver trem to up to looks on my DC3 Even if it's the awesome phase 2 style old mild made trem The phase 2 is the phase 3 without those groves under the saddles Also must remind that weight doesn't effect tone, it's the material and how good the material is made, brass is just an amazing material of course cause it's used for horn instruments

yeah its rock solid, stays in tune pretty well. Stays in tune pretty well even after a lot of trem use or diving. Almost all non locking trems go off a few cent some really out and its an inherent flaw. Even my SE and Core trems go off a bit after a trem dive. Pulling back on the trem sets it back in tune.

Depends on the tone that you're going for. The musiclily is actually closer to the core prs bridge in materials used than the se version. The se version has a steel block instead of brass. Nothing wrong with it, just a brighter tone.

Bought one from musiclily as a prs upgrade, worst bridge ever, stays out of tune all the time. Then I bought a mannmade bridge, and it was perfect, i know it is expensive. However, there is a reason why.
