Are these PRS pups?

[shimmilou]

Guitar was advertised as: "PRS SE 245 Limited Edition Bernie Marsden Signature Electric Guitar." The pups were described as: "Custom Wound ALNICO humbuckers."

All others that I have seen have Zebra, or the limited edition with covered 53/10 pups. It also looks like the bridge is different than all others I have seen.

My guess is NO

doesnt DiMarzio have a patent on double cream???

It's kind of a small picture, but I would say the pickups aren't made by PRS. The originals came with SE245 pickups (IIRC) in zebra.

No idea about the bridge. Looks like a SE bridge to me?

I agree. No. Every Bernie I have seen has the 245 zebras

It's actually a trademark, but yes. (How they got it is a long rant for another day...) It only applies in the US though, so winders in other countries (e.g. Bare Knuckle in the UK) typically ignore it unless they're selling into the US market.

It's hard to tell from the low resolution pic, but based on the dark spot between the G and B strings, that kinda looks like a Wilkenson adjustable wraparound bridge to me.

OK, yeah, I thought maybe it was just a wacky reflection on the small pic, but now that you point that out, I think you're right.
