Ever sense I first learned about PRS Guitars, the CU22 was my dream. I still see the CU24 and the quintessential PRS, but 22 frets and stoptail are my sweet spot (as demonstrated with my current PRS collection). I searched the forum to get more information about the CU22's with Dragon II pickups and opinions seem to be pretty wide. Some people love them and some do not. This is not too surprising considering the wide range of PRS Players' tastes. While the overall feel of a CU22 seems to be similar to a DC594 how different are the pickups? A few posts indicate the bridge Dragon II would be more similar to the Tremonti bridge. Is it half way or much closer to the Tremonti pickup? Most of my guitars are strung with 11-52, tuned to D-standard or Drop-C, and played through modeled high gain amps (SLO-100, 5150, or a boosted Silver Jubilee).
Most of the comments on this thread suggest the 594 is the way to go:

Any experience with direct comparisons between CU22 and 594's would be very much appreciated before my GAS gets the best of me again. As I already have 3 594's and 2 Tremonti's, does an older (early 2000's) CU22 with Dragon II's do anything different from what I already have at my disposal?
