baze7 Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 I am going to make a PRS copy, I am new, so I am not sure of the terminology. Is there a place that shows the parts I need. What is the differece between a tail piece and a bridge?? Which do I need for a PRS copy?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Looking around at Stewmac will help to explain a lot of things as far as hardware goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKGBass Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 For the ideal PRS copy, you would need a tailpiece bridge combo, like the LP Junior ones seen here. This is probably the closest you will find to the actual PRS bridge without ordering from them (you may be able to actually order a PRS bridge from the PRS factory, though I'm sure it will be quite a bit more expensive than this one) This bridge is also nearly a direct copy of the PRS style bridge. Stewmac says its similar to the PRS bridge, but In My Opinion, i think the other is closer. If you were going for a tremolo, these strat style trems are the closest you'll find. You could use these Wilkinson bridges, although they look less like the real thing, they're a nicer bridge. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baze7 Posted May 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Thanks for the info, so the LP Junior that you mentioned would be all I would need for a tailpiece/bridge?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Actually, This is closer to what is on many PRS guitars: Leo Quann Mann made Specifically the Tremonti. And for trems: Mann made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKGBass Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Yeah, those will work well too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 The bridge pictured, tho very expensive is NOS PRS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maher Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 see the price of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Yeah...$200! If it were me I'd use the Badass or for a trem, the hipshot. MUSH less expencive. Depends on how authentic you want to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
