I have this exact same tone issue, and my wiring appears to be the same as yours. The schematic you posted in your OP also looks like the schematic I found online YEARS AGO - I have the same .33 uF cap in mine, with no casing (just bare wires). However, I would not say my guitar sounds...

I have an older Pauls Guitar 408. I took it into a tech around 2008 and he rewired the switches. It has never had that strong single coil pickup sound on the toggles since he worked on it. When I bought it I was told the toggles used one split coil and a portion of the neighbor coil (so little...

I picked up my 408 last night - all plugged in and ready to play, and some strange things happened. First, I believe (recollection is fuzzy, right?) the lower toggle switch felt odd, turned to the side and hard to switch, like it was stuck on. I did manage to turn it off, but then the upper...

I started with a CU24 and then bought a 408. At first the 408 sounded brittle to me, and I kept pushing the strings off the neck. I was disappointed because the neck is fatter and then tone is not a subtly "creamy" - However, as I got used to the 408, and stopped pulling the strings off the...

^^^ in that order? Actually, Like I said I just tried a PRS H amp ( =C= and a greenback, 12ax7 and 12au7 pres) and I really liked the sound of it. I was thinking about picking it up.

I found pretty much the same settings - the full bridge humbucker for heavy rhythm and leads, but take it split coil if you want the leads to cut through a little more. With both pickups you almost "have to" put one of them on split (I prefer to do neck on split). But for a round mellow sound I...

I agree - also (to you) As far as pics go - I have no problem with them, but unfortunately since I always buy used and so I don't really get that much choice.

It has the same pickups as Paul's guitar (right?). Somehow the name "Paul" seems fitting to me because the guitar reminds me of a cross between my CE24 and my '93 Les Paul Standard. It sounds more like a PRS, but it has that solid feel of a Les Paul. And with the fat humbucker you can get the...

408 site:prsguitars.com/forum ​I also know this trick and use it all the time.

I can figure it out based on what you said - thank you. It's funny that I have never heard that much discussion about PRS pickups - not like you hear for so many other guitars. Where can I find specs for PRS pickups? magnet types, output, etc?

Amps: PRS, Orange, Bogner, 5150 III Which of these amps do you like with your PRS? I am currently using a 5150 iii (but I have not yet heard the 408 through it - it is at our rehearsal space). I just heard it through the dsl100 - great sound though. I am thinking about getting a PRS H (MIA) -...

Ironically, I work for the company that makes the forum software (vBulletin), I have used it for years, and I never knew it had a four letter minimum.

Some people say they like the sound of the Mahogany better. Of course, I got mine used (a 2013 at 25% off) so I didn't have that much choice, but if I was buying new I would listen to both types. People at TGP are also saying they would have liked dual pickup controls as well, so you can blend...

I have to be honest and say that as a person with nothing to prove I don't care for the tone of that post coming from a stranger. Is posting a picture kind of rule for newbies around here? If not, I would expect to see some kind of sign that you aren't serious. I have pics from a video I just...
