Most is your most played PRS model ?

[Greywolf]

I've only list the core models ( i.e not SE or S2) due to space .. sales #'s are one thing .. but which one gets the most play time?
Is that Home or Stage?

 

[Gtrbldr]

Total flip of the coin. Cu22, 24 and McC. I'll vote for the CU24

i have three original CE22's but what I play are my customized SE Bernie Marsdens

Especially this one.

The single sounds are spectacular and I copied PRS's 1.1K and 2,2K resistor method for splitting the coils.

But they're great humbuckers too and I was just sitting in front of the HDRX 20 and getting endless Santana-style sustain from the modified JB bridge pickup, so this ax seems to have it all covered.

I've only had it up and running one day...but so far it's perfect.

Love it when a plan comes together!

For years it was my '95 Custom22.

Since 2014 it's been a P22, bought for the sole purpose of leaving a bulky acoustic off the stage and out of my vehicle.

The SE HBIIP gets the majority of the play, with the Cu24 in second. The SS is currently serving as the office guitar, so while it gets played everyday, it may only be for 15 minutes. My other (non-PRS) guitars sit in the corner and cry.

Love my '95 CE22. Love CE22's period!

Do these qualify as being CORE models? Don't think the term existed when these were built.

If so, I only own three CORE models, all old CE22's.

My other eight PRS guitars are customized SE's.

My CE22's are a '95, '97 and a '00. Love the Dragon 1's in the '95 and '97. The pickups were already gone when I bought the '00 so I put Bare Knuckle Abraxas in it.

Of the three CE22's the '00 gets played the most. It's heavier but somehow more resonant.

CU-24 and its variants, I’ve played out with it rotary and all. My fave PRS always will be.

1k1 and 2k2

 

[Lewguitar]

1k1 and 2k2

Yes. You're correct. 1.1K for the neck and 2.2K for the bridge.

PRS came up with a brilliant method of splitting humbuckers.

Best I've used.

I personally like the capacitor method better or a mix of both

Do you have a wiring diagram you can post? Does a particular PRS use that method?

35th anniversary does, Robben Ford Signature and Paul's Guitar, too. What controls configuration do you need it for?

Cap adds a small amount of capacitance from the hot signal to the ground when the pickup is in split mode. It takes down a notch of top-end

To clarify, because it is the only CU listed. Live mostly the CUs, since they are HB equiped and my McC has P90s. Although I love their sound, I steongky dislike the hum the moving lighting heads on stage in our church give me with p90s

The term didn’t exist because EVERY PRS was Maryland made.
Now going just by that, 100% core.

 

[DISTORT6]

Custom 22’s and Singlecuts get the most play for me.
Mira and HB Spruce make guest appearances.

 

[Max Headroom]

1985 Standard 24.
Still the mutt's nutt's after all these years.

Oh I was just curious.

So less treble.

Sort of like turning down a tone control.

Love to see a diagram.

I'll do a search.

Notch, just a little, yeah.

 

[Bogner]

McCarty Variants / (ME's) And Singlecuts Dominate My PRS Playing Time.

 

[watelessness]

there should be an "other" option in the poll. for me it's Sig LTD , 2012 and '89
