its the Tele-esq plate style. with brass barrel saddles
Ive got 11-54 on my CU24 which works well. its more the intonation im not sure on, ive never played with a tele bridges, just look awkward :P
I'm not convinced you'll get a well intonated low string on the original bridge at C. I wish they'd do a 6 saddle version as I really like the shape but I'm in drop B and found I needed to switch from the regular PRS wraparound to the adjustable to get it to intonate well.
eurgh Floyd... I don't use trem much, its kinda wasted on me, floyds just annoy me (fiddly and look yucky)
the scale length with chucky strings works well on the cu24, its a bit looser sounding which fits my band, we don't do really fast picking or owt like that.
wondering if theres a gotoh fixed or similar that I could bolt on if it doesn't intonate well.
Sure the bridge would be fine for drop tunings but I find the pickups very bluesy (especially the neck) and they are low output - not sure how they'd handle metal.
I don't really like classing what I play as 'metal'... its more like really heavy rock ? (got described as "alice in chains heavier side, on steroids" recently which made me smile)
its quite likely I'd put hotter pups in (I've already got a spare BKP holy diver sat around, which is what I have in my cu24) in the bridge.
the neck I only really use for cleaner tones anyway. it looks oddly spaced, but I thought a tele style could work in there?
Below a B I'd definitely look at longer scale but at C there's no issue from the scale IMO
I also have an S2 standard 24 satin but prefer the Vela for most things, if i'd have bought the Vela first i probably wouldnt have needed the 24. The 24 has a very strong mid focus especially with the stock pickups and being all mahogany, it feels the best though as its one of the satin models, it only gets used for the heaviest side of my playing but wit hthe coil taps does a decent job for bluesy stuff too,
andertons had two new ones on a mad PRS S2 sale they've got at the moment. Getting rid of old stock to make space for new ?
alas both sold very quickly
I'd take a serious look at the Satin Ltds... the neck is so much better feeling IMO. They are just over £1k which is pretty good going for a US-made nitro-finished instrument.
