I ordered the Mann Made USA intonatable stoptail bridge for an SE Mira 2021, to replace a defective PRS import bridge, I was having issues with staying in tune and intonation, also the high E and B strings were buzzing, after 7 days it finaly arrived via UPS/USPS.
I opened the box and was amazed at the quality of craftsmanship, it is almost 1/2 the weight of the old one (machined aluminum), the saddles are precision cut and have springs, it came already set up with almost perfect intonation, replacing was easy without any Mods, the beautiful machined brass posts worked great, I did have to lower the bridge more than the old one to set the correct string action .
At $200, it’s well worth it.
I have no more issues with staying in tune and my high E, B and G ring like sweet bells and sustain is much better.
Keep up the good work .

What a great company to deal with. Firstly my thanks go to Andy Verdi who helped me get an international order placed and shipped. Excellent customer service. The item arrived on time and I new at first glance this bridge was something special. It was easy to fit and setup on my PRS SE Custom 24. The results from playing surpased my expectations. The tones and sustain are fantastic, my guitar really sings now. I really can't explain the improvement in words, however my PRS now sounds and feels like a £2000 instrument. Great work to all at Johnmannsguitar vault.

The new Mann Made bridge 2040-N made the PRS CE 24 what it should have been. 
Everything on this bridge, workmanship, string action setup, intonation, smoothness of vibrato, and more is far above the stock bridge. Tone and feel is remarkably better too. 
Really recommend if doing this work yourself read everything and view his video.
The instructions and video from John Mann specify a 2.5 mm Allen key to set the new screws height related to the bridge plate top surface.
Mine came shipped with a 3mm Allen key. I had a 2.5 mm so used it
A 1.5 mm guitar pick included in the box measures to be 1/16 of inch thick, perfect to confirm bridge height. After setting the bridge screws , springs , strings and tremolo claw, the bridge height from the body was perfect at 1/16.
The included set of 4 springs are a bit longer and stiffer than the original PRS springs. Using all 4 prevented a pull up on the tremolo arm as they were already at their minimum length after string installation , tuning and claw setting to achieve even bridge height . I finally used 3 springs which  provided good range of vibrato up or down pitch. I used some Earnie B strings 10-46 for initial setup of intonation, string height via the saddles . Once dialed in I setup my preferred brand String J 10/48 balanced light . I’ve had these and other strings on the stock bridge, but none of them had the tone, feel , clarity and overall richness. The Mann Bridge has made a remarkable change for the better. Highly recommend it.

After a few months of going back and forth on upgrading the vibrato bridge of my 2021 CE24, I decided on the full MannMade replacement. The results were fantastic, even more than I expected! Sustain greatly increased, thicker tone that works well with jazz and blues and compliments the specialty 57/08 pickups, and better tuning stability. Installation is easy if you follow the directions, with the most difficult part being getting the screw head heights correct and settling the springs into the brass block. Great service, fast delivery. Highly recommended upgrade that brought my CE24 up to core standards!

The whole process was easy and the order arrived earlier than expected. Installed the bridge in me PRS CE 24 and the result was better than I could have imagined. Excellent experience.

Replaced the stock bridge on a 2012 Korean PRS SE Santana. The Mann bridge resulted on far more sustain, better tuning, and a tone that is much more vibrant sounding. The stock bridge sounded dead in comparison. Definitely a worthwhile upgrade for me.
