I have experienced a few guitars that had a warped neck and which also had the micro tilt applied over an expended period of time. Some say it is because f the uneven pressure on the neck heel since most micro-tilts are just a screw, or screw and small washer type thing. I have no scientific support for this correlation other than my limited experience. That said, a shim seems like an easier and complete solution that avoids this possibility. Sanding the bottom of the bridge saddle works, if you are comfortable with that, and it is currently high enough to make an adequate difference if sanded.
The screws at the heel stay clamped down, so it's a solid 3-point mount with the Tilt screw. Then the deeper pocket screws at snugged down. I can't see any way this would ever warp a neck if done right.

Beautiful grain! I have concerns about the effect of micro tilts on the neck over time. You many want to consider a shim or shaving down the bridge saddle to lower the action.
What would be your concern with a Micro-Tilt? I've been using guitars with this for years.

Just showed up. It's light!
String action is way too high for me, so I will be using that Micro-Tilt as soon as I have time.Quite impressed with the unplugged sound!

These SE 594's really do rock it. Not sure if it is because they were Plek'd or that's just the way these PRS guitars are.

So the first one of these, the push/pull pots came out when removing the knobs (I removed them according to a PRS tech, and even used a StewMac Shatten knob puller, They just popped right out of the pots. PRS said they would repair it, as it shouldn't have done that. They said it would take 1 month to 6 weeks to do it. Sweetwater replaced the whole guitar, though I hated to send it back, as I waited a long time to find one with the top I wanted.
I decided to go the return route, and picked out a new one. Every bit as nice as the first. Sweetwater removed the knobs and just shipped them in a bag. I installed the knobs I wanted. The are the exact size for the pots. They came from StewMac also.
She's a beauty.
I will install these tuners this weekend. -
My pair of PRS's!

Bought a EBMM Cutlass in 2019, for me it's the nicest and best playing guitar I've owned in 40 years of playing, absolutely love it. Only problem is i don't want to take it out of the house lol!
My wife helped me pick it out, since that went so well I had her help me pick out a guitar for travel last Friday. I'm having the PRS locking tuners put on, swapping string guages and taking advantage of the free plek service, should be here in 10-12 days.
Timing works out pretty good though, I pulled a fast one on myself yesterday and the stitches don't come out for 12 days, so playing is out of the picture for a little while. I hate when I do stuff like this🥴
Are you doing the tuners?
I ordered these and they are a direct drop-in, and are awesome. I didn't like the looks of the PRS ones.
Kluson Locking Tuners -
This one on it's way too

Should have this soon...Being Plek'd.

Uploading works in Edge also for me.
-
That's odd... Doesn't work in Edge for me at all.
I did the Drag and Drop, haven't tried uploading.
-
Working in Edge...but I don't use edge...any workarounds?

If I choose Attachments and upload a photo, it never shows up. Drag and drop does nothing also.

This thread is now worthless if you can't upload photos
