PRS SE Tremonti overhaul

A PRS SE Tremonti came in and it needed some work:

- the tuners were quite loose and I had to re-tighten them
- the nut was somehow (owner says stock), cut strangely in an angle on the slots( B stock maybe and they didn't say? heh...), but I didn't see this as an issue , and adjusted the current slots as they were, just a bit as needed
- the fretwire had random usage especially in the middle section so I did a general fretwire levelling and recrown + sanding and final polishing
- fretboard was cleaned and hydrated properly
- the switch had some mechanical issues so I re-bended the inner contacts and also cleaned them(will see if they get loose again in the future)
- had a strange trem cavity situation in which the trem base was actually preventing normal trem use because it was resting and snagging on the body side in the trem cavity,so I fixed this by doing a small routing there,works great now
- contact cleaner on the pots
- setup after all the tinkering and whatnot, with a fairly low action, and proper intonation

Plays great!
