Thanks to those who offered their advice, and especially to duhvoodooman whose site was most invaluable.

Installed the PRS Tremonti pickups along with a coil splitting push pull, to my Tremonti SE (korea special :)). What a difference, sounds very sweet indeed, SO much better than standard pickups. Only problem is, the ppp I bought didnt have a nut on it, and when I went to the shop I bought it from, all the ppp's they had were a different thread pitch! Having trouble finding a slimline nut that size, so a blob of blu-tak is holding it in. Oh the shame...

Just wanted to ask, the rosewood fretboard has never been cleaned or oiled,and Im a bit unsure as to whether this looks ok or not. Any opinions?

Really nice guitar!

You should give it a lemon oil treatment, it really works great with rosewood guitars.

+1 on the lemon oil, it brings rosewood up a treat. Apply a couple of times a year when restringing unless you have the patience to wait for finger grease to do the job.

Get yourself a bottle of D'andrea lemon oil, and guitar cleaner. It is a small bottle but a little goes a long way. I usually do my boards about twice a year. Wipe on let sit for 15 mins then wipe off. It really makes a difference and my guitar tech recommended it. They use it in the shop.
