Grooves have been added to the bridge plate.The screw has larger thread and a custom head design, creating more mass and more contact from the bridge to the screw, and the screw to the guitar’s body.The first two of these updates maximize the transfer of the strings’ vibration through the bridge and into the body of the guitar, supporting the fidelity of the guitar’s tone and maximizing sustain. The PRS Gen III Tremolo functions in all the same ways as PRS’s patented tremolo always has, and includes three notable design updates. The unthreaded tremolo arm fits into a hard plastic sleeve staying where you put it, via a small set screw on the back side of the bridge that faces the tail end of the guitar (where the intonation adjustment screws are located) therefore it will not wobble or break off in the block.The block, intonation screws, height-adjustment screws, and the string slots on the saddles are all left un-plated for increased sustain and fidelity of tone. The bridge is made of brass, a metal that rings beautifully.The PRS tremolo bridge is designed so that there are no rough edges, for maximum comfort while playing.This leaves less string behind the bridge saddle so there is less chance of detuning. The tremolo block is drilled out so the ball ends rest right up under the bridge base plate.The pocket in the PRS tremolo bridge keeps the six individually adjustable saddles from moving sideways, thereby eliminating another traditional cause of tuning instability.This knife-edge set-up ensures that the bridge will return to pitch during use. These rest against the six notched brass body mounting screws.
