When I replaced the original Archtop pups on an older HB II, the winder (Wolfetone) advised me to get 4 conductor pups because of this issue. Sure enough, when my tech did install them the "usual way" they were out of phase. He had to fish them back out of the hollowbody and rewire, after which they worked properly. That is a guitar with piezo pickup, so I am ASSUMING the same would apply. But then your P22 presumably has a 5 way rather than a 3 way switch, so different rules might apply.
I am CLEARLY not the wiring/electronics guru!
Juka did a PU swap on his P22 recently. I'm not sure what his issues were but logic would dictate that either flipping a magnet (or 2?) or by changing the wiring you can overcome this:

Then again it may just be the neck PU which is "different" so a Bridge PU swap may be easy.
You could just send it to the PTC and not give it a second thought of course!
I'm a 53/10 hoarder, I have 2 x sets of covered and 2 x sets of uncovered. The 59/09 will end up in a Studio... one day...
I would love to know the answer as well, doesn't sound like I'll be owning a P22 if that's the case. Now, if it's a neck pickup deal and I could just replace the bridge pickup, I'd be ok with that.All I can say, you'll find under the link Justmund already posted.
Thanks Just. How are you doing?
If you contact PTC, I would love to hear their answer,
because when I asked Shawn about it some months ago -and I really wanted to stay within the PRS range of PUs and specifically asked about the Tremonti and \m/ sets- the answer was "No".
