At this year’s NAMM show, PRS announced a huge number of new guitars, including American and SE ‘Floyd’ Custom 24s.

“I sent this to Strandberg to get the wiring done and when they sent it back they included this”: Plini shows us his modded signature Strandberg Boden – but what’s that hiding in the tremolo springs?
