PRS Adjustable Stoptail
For ease of intonation of non-standard or extra heavy string gauges, a special order version of the PRS Stoptail with individually adjustable saddles is available. The PRS Adjustable Stoptail is available in nickel or gold plate. The Hollowbody with the piezo features a special version of the PRS Adjustable Stoptail fitted with piezo inserts. This bridge can be adjusted in the same fashion as our PRS Adjustable Stoptail.
PRS Bridges are available to purchase through your Authorized PRS Dealer, or in our West Street East Accessory Shop.
Tuning and Setup Hints
If you are unfamiliar with making these adjustments, we recommend that the guitar be taken to a qualified repair center.
Action height is adjustable by raising or lowering the studs that the bridge sits on.
To adjust the mounting studs, first detune the instrument to relieve all possible string tension on the bridge. Next, using a Quarter, perform the necessary height adjustments to the bridge. Then, retune the guitar. Bear in mind that the brass studs are a soft metal that could be prone to marring if adjustments are made too forcefully. Intonation can be adjusted using the two allen set screws facing the tail end of the guitar. The individual string's intonation may be adjusted by moving the flat head screws on the inside edge of the bridge (facing the treble pickup) in and out with a flat head screwdriver.
A strobe tuner or other electronic tuning device should be used.
Match the octave (fretted) note of the first and sixth strings with their corresponding 12th fret open harmonics by shortening or lengthening the strings with the adjusting screws using the allen wrench provided. Start with the treble side and then go to the bass side, return to the treble side for one last check. Remember, the individual string's intonation may be adjusted by moving the flat head screws on the inside edge of the bridge (facing the treble pickup) in and out with a flat head screwdriver.
