Hey ya'll, have had my 2017 for about 4 months. My 2nd PRS - Feel, finish, trem...all fantastic. But I am having a hard time with the 85/15 pickups. I cannot get any kind of sweet vintage tone from them (not that they were intended for that, I actually don't know, but I cannot even get a happy medium yet). They sound hi-fi, trebly and far thinner / weaker in the 'in between' positions than I could ever have imagined. I do have years of experience with different pickups, adjustment, wiring etc, but not with PRS pickups. I would be grateful for a recommendation(s) as I would like to keep this guitar PRS if possible.
I play professionally and regularly, I have Gibson, Suhr, Anderson, Fender and others and tend to stick with vintage voiced/output singles and classic PAF tone for humbuckers. I have nice amps, clean signal paths, cables etc. It really does just seem like a taste issue with the 85/15s, that's all. I have to 'really' adjust amp or pedal settings when switching to the PRS.
My first PRS is a 2013 Studio with a 5708 in the bridge. I dig that humbucker tone (even in split mode). Any suggestions would be appreciated - (BTW, I have not even opened this guitar up and looked at pot values yet) I figure someone here knows what in it.
Many thanks in advance! RG
