I'd say it matters more on a FR.  Muck up the knife edges and there goes your tuning stability.

yeah, i'm aware of that :lol:

just seems a bit ridiculous to me that a book as well-regarded as the erlewine one would tell you something wrong... and i'm pretty sure i've read elsewhere, in other respected books, that it doesn't matter either...

though i guess the safe thing to do would be to release some of the tension.

Tuned her up and noticed the action was really low, so out with the screwdriver and up with the bridge. 

Just curious, do you slacken the strings before adjusting the bridge?  I always do, but I notice on a few of my guitars (including both PRSes) someone has obviously adjusted the bridges with the strings under tension, leaving bloody great gouges from the grub screws in the brass studs.  Not a big deal, but it does annoy me.  

I do slacken them off, yeah.  I should probably slacken them more though as I sometimes chew things if I've not de-tuned enough.  :oops:

Well the rosewood neck does make a fairly big difference actually!  It's a bit less 'congested' at band volume than the mahogany neck version, noticable in chords, but it doesn't seem to quite have the punchy mids when soloing.  Interesting.  I'm going to take both maple top McCartys to Doppelganger rehearsal next week and do some back to backs......

you wouldn't use the meat knife on crusty bread but, equally, the serrated knife and straight edge knife aren't going to go through raw meat as quickly

btw twinfan, I just saw a PRS for sale in Manchester for what seems to be a good price. It looks so nice as well (except the misshapen bridge pickup ring).

Ho, that's very pretty. Gotta love that pure Mahogany satin look and the 20th Ann. birds.
