For want of a better place to put this, and to not start a thread that may only have a few comments .... a note on bridges.

On other PRS-1H build threads many have opted to replace the kit bridge with one that is fully adjustable, of which there are two main choices being the Musiclily and the "Bad Ass" bridge with the Wilkinson bridge offering basic overall adjustment with extra trims for the G and B strings...

I got a Bad Ass bridge in Gold for this build and it didn't fit. Too tall, resulting in higher than ideal action at the 12 fret. As a result I stayed with the kit bridge and its limited intonation options.

Some of you may know I have a PRS SE245, which comes with a bridge that also comes with limited adjustment for intonation. While the intonation wasn't that bad it still niggled at me so on the strength of posts in other PRS-1H build threads I obtained a Musiclily bridge in Chrome to be fitted to my Chrome loaded PRS SE245... A set of D'Addario EXL120 (9-42) and about an hour slowly working through the intonation setup and the PRS SE245 is now beautifully intonated...and sounds as awesome as a PRS can.... though there is an issue.

The musiclily fully adjustable wrap around bridge while providing all the adjustment needed for perfect intonation it is not a high quality piece of kit. Actually it is a pretty ordinary item of mass manufacturing from dubious quality metals. In my case during adjustment of the A string saddle it became apparent that the set screw is bent or curved causing the adjustment to become very tight at a certain point in its adjustment range. With the A string saddle effectively stuck and the head of the associated screw now burred I resorted to setting the entire bridge position according to the A string intonation requirements first and then setting the saddles for the other 5 strings based around that. Not the ideal, but luckily for me it worked...

As they were only AU$16 each I did buy 2 of the Musiclily bridges but by the time the disaster happened I had already strung the instrument and replacing the errant bridge would mean trashing the brand new unplayed set of strings. So for now the errant Musiclily bridge stays on the PRS SE245, and Chrome hardware options remain a remote possibility for my PRS-1H build...

And for reference PRS do have/sell a fully adjustable wrap around bridge to suit the SE245 and very similar to the Musiclily bridge though at upwards of AU$230 each plus shipping I doubt I will be placing an order any time soon...
