Outrageous PRS parts prices

[severinsteel]

I was browsing through the PRS website to see if they sell a replacement plastic trem arm sleeve. My trem arm is loose and falls out. I went into their Accessories section and happened to across their replacement bridges. Check this out:

They want $587.99 for a replacement bridge! That is stupid money for a bridge!!!

Use the mann made site instead. He sells the same stuff cheaper.

Then again, PRS doesn't make many 12-strings and........who am I kidding. That's absolutely beyond ridiculous.

Sounds like Pauls been hanging out with Henry.

If your trem arm is loose, it's probably missing the tiny screw that holds the trem bar.
Not sure if you can get that part at homedepot, otherwise you have the buy the whole trem update kit that sells for $25.

PRS wouldn't just sell the tiny screw by itself from what I've heard.

Mail PRS support and ask for the trem arm grub screw, they were quite happy to send one out for free to me when i asked about 6months ago.

Geesh... PRS Come on.

Supply and demand in action.

Don't order directly through the PRS website, go through a dealer like Wilcutts or Chuck Levins, they get much better prices.

I'm glad I dig cheap guitars, like Rics

C'mon, it has to be a typo?

John Mann has the lockdown on the aftermarket parts market for PRS. Just call them and request the screw, their support is top notch!

Crazy. It's also odd that most of their standard pickups are only $49.99.
