2022 PRS Tremonti SE saddles, brass or something else ?

If I recall, the SE and S2 lines use steel saddles.

I do not believe they are brass that are coated or anything, just steel.

Hope that helps!

Helps a bunch. Thats what they look like to me. I ordered some roller brass saddles for starters instead of a whole brass bridge which are pricey.
 
Bought mine a few years ago used. Seller upgraded bridge to a Mann Made with EMG's and locking tuners. No complaints for the price paid. Not enamored with the neck shape on any PRS but the workmanship on these guitars is exceptional. Mine is like 9.75#.

Amber bursts were discontinued unfortunately love those and the Mannmade stuff is great but a price i didn't want to pay at the moment.
I usually use Reverb or Ebay but gotta say Amazon has a shit-ton of guitar parts and guitars.
You can but the Lynch ESP Desert Eagle and all kinda shit off Amazon with their own shipping.
I put brass saddles on my Sterling LUKE and it made a yuge difference. Hoping the same with the Tremonti.
Both have steel trem blocks which are adequate.

The neck shapes on PRS have always thrown me. That being said I have an older PRS McCarty with a sweet rounded neck C neck, akin to a smaller 59 or something. Not that wide flat like many or whatever else they use.

The Tremonti 10 inch radius i wish were 12. Tis a bit too flat for this LP guy.
String spacing is a lil different too.

Yeah, my LP and McCarty definitely feel a Little different, though my LP happens to have a rounded c neck as well funnily enough. A bit thicker and string spacing is different.

The 10 inch is less flat/rounder than the 12 inch.

The LP is flatter at a 12" radius.
 
Ive been told the S2 & SE saddles are made of Zamak i lower grade Zinc alloy. They definetly don't ring out like Brass.
 
Well for $30-ish bucks off Amazon the brass roller saddles are a way-yuge improvement.
And gotta be honest by comparrison the stock SE zinc alloy saddles are pretty crappy.
Who wouldn't love the Mann-made upgrade trem for $350 but don't have that to spend on a $800 guitar.

Score! They look good on there. PRS' look really nice with that color combo. The rollers should help with tuning stability as well I would think, so that's an extra bonus. For $30, definitely a win.

If the SEs have the PRS treble bleed try clipping it.

Good advice.

I clipped the treble bleed I found inside another guitar of mine that I did not expect to have it - Sterling JP157.

Did not like what it did to the base tone at all.
