My new PRS singlecut and a question

[Megadeth79]

I got a new PRS Singlecut Satin , it looks great and plays great. It has a wrapover bridge and has 9s on it. I'm planning to change the strings to 10s, will I have any intonation problems? Here are 2 crappy pics

You shouldn`t have any intonation problems if you go with 10`s. Their pretty much made for correct intonation if you use 9`s or 10`s so if you don`t go to 11`s...you should be fine!

Intonation is for pussies. String it up and rock it out.

I can't see the headstock clearly. Is that a Korean or USA model?

[Megadeth79]

It's a USA model. Singlecut Satin Blue Matteo with Birds inlays.

Like they said you should be alright.

Thanks guys .

typically when you change the gauge of your strings...yes you will have to intonate the guitar. SLight chance that you might have to make a truss rod adjustment as well. You will be putting more tension on the neck with thicker gauge strings. Anyone who tells you different about the intonation and TR adj is just lacking experience

you cant adjust the intonation on a wrap over tail piece

Not true!

Look at the pic, see the allen set screws at each end of the tailpiece? These are for adjustment:

Quote from PRS: "Although it is pre-compensated for modern string gauges, fine-tuning is possible by adjusting the set screws at each end of the bridge. Intonation can be adjusted using the two allen set screws facing the tail end of the guitar. A strobe tuner or other electronic tuning device should be used. Match the octave (fretted) note of the first and sixth strings with their corresponding 12th fret open harmonics by shortening or lengthening the strings with the adjusting screws using the allen wrench provided. Start with the treble side and then go to the bass side, return to the treble side for one last check. The other four strings are present and will intonate correctly provided a conventionally gauged string set with a plain third (G) string is used. "

Thanks for that info did not know that before.

Went I went to .10's on my single cut, I had to make a very, very slight adjustment to the bridge. I believe I had to go about 1/8th of a turn on the bass side, and a little less than that on the treble.
