    Seeking split coil wiring diagram help for 2017 Zach Myers

    Thanks, that's very useful info. As I get closer to actually pulling the trigger on modding this ZM I'll share some progress info and pics.

    Seeking split coil wiring diagram help for 2017 Zach Myers

    I did a fun coil-splitting mod on my SE C22 semihollow, but in that case I also put in S-D pickups and a six-way toggle to control the selections. Worked great, and S-D (and the Free-way switch company) had great documentation available so my task was rather straightforward. This time around...

    Details on the 2017 A10E's electronics?

    That's actually very useful, and thank you so much for the insights! That tells me quite a lot and gives me several avenues to geek into. :cool:

    Details on the 2017 A10E's electronics?

    I've seen a metric crap ton of great demos, and some high level discussions that gloss over the electronics as active piezo under-saddle. I understand the tone/volume control setup and where the battery is tucked away. I was hoping to find some actual meat on the electronics: is it a PRS...

    I agree, stringing the TP is curse-worthy—but not quite as bad as with a Floyd Rose. ;) I just pop the bridge off and run the strings through it then pop it back on, which works well for me. On the sliding I haven't personally encountered that with mine, at least not yet, but I expect a lot of...

    This is the one I believe you'll want: http://www.tonepros.com/avt2m-tonepros-wraparound-set-wmsprs-locking-studs-for-prs-santana-models/ I got the AV2P and the studs were US threads so I had to get the metric replacements. Note that the one I got was a crap ton cheaper than that, which is why...

    From what I've read the solid stoptail does have that tilting issue. Mine had a bit of tilt even after only being a few months old. Not sure how large a tone problem it introduces, opinions vary, but in my case I swapped mine out for a TonePros with locking studs. I already wanted a bridge that...

    Thanks! I called the project "Operation I Want it Painted Black."

    Thanks, guys! I had a lot of fun with this. I tried to stick only to appearance mods, as the tone of the 85/15s is great out of the box and so easily shaped with effects pedals, but the solid bridge had to go. I know PRS engineered it to the nines and it was probably silly of me to replace what...

    Okay, I've made the requisite 3 prior posts, so methinks I can share some pictures of my modded SE? Meet my Angry Angel. Under the covers the pickups are the stock 85/15 "S" and the new bridge is a TonePros. I had the truss rod cover made by an artist in Canada and the locking tuners are from...

    I've done quite a few mods to my SE Custom22 semi hollow, but I'll have to wait to accumulate enough posts here before I try posting pics. More to come!

    Introduce yourself!

    Hiya! Long time Art & Lutherie acoustic player. I got the urge to try an electric, and this past Christmas Santa brought me a Custom22 semi hollow. Love, love, and more love. I've become a total PRS fanboi and today just ordered a new Angelus so I can add the birds to my acoustic stuff. Psyched...

    About to become a new Angelus owner

    Excited! I've played an Art & Lutherie acoustic since the mid-90s, as my only guitar. For Christmas Santa brought me a shiny new PRS Custom22 semi hollow, my first electric, and it was instant love. I wanted to add the PRS magic to my acoustic playing, and today I pulled the trigger on a...
