Changing String Gauges
If you decide to change your string gauges from the factory installed string gauges, please be sure to remember that the guitar may need to be set-up to accommodate this change. This may include checking the action, intonation, neck relief, pickup height, and nut slots of the instrument. We set-up the guitars at our factory with the following string gauges:
Most USA manufactured electric PRS instruments* are factory set-up with PRS Signature 10 - 46 gauge strings.
