I’ve explored these forums for a while, posting for first time.
I have an SE HBII and a SE Starla, and swapped the factory pickups between the two. Sharing my observations, and hoping others with experience with other pickups will weigh in.
DS-02 seems wider frequency spectrum, clearer treble attack, bigger & looser low end (not sloppy), but subdued mids. 58/15s is way more mid forward, plenty of bark, but limited frequency spectrum - lows and high highs are rolled off compared to the DS-02s.
There’s things I like about both, in both guitars. Love the mid articulation of the 58/15s, but also love the bandwidth and dynamics of the DS-02s.
Is there a middle ground out there in PRS pickups? 58/15 LT? Apologies, I know I’m champagne taste on a beer budget - but curious what insights y’all have…
