Upgrading to the 2011 PRS studio question

[Noah Matthew]

To some of you, what I'm going to ask can be considered as sacrilege.. so I ask your forgiveness ahead of time.

I like the 2011 PRS studio, it may very well be the perfect upgrade from my se eg hardtail. From what I can tell it seems quite similar to a custom 22 with a different pickup config. Feel free to confirm or correct me on this.

Now here's my question.. Can I have a luthier completely swap out the pickups on the guitar to a more traditional h-s-s config?
(Lace Sensor Red-Red dually T-Plus humbucker guitar pickup for the bridge and then silver/blue single coils)

Would that require any special customization or extra work than a normal pickup swap/rewiring? If I went forward with this, would you recommend making any other changes along the way to make this guitar even more epic? I'm a huge fan of lace pickups but also an equally huge fan of PRS guitars fit, finish and playability!

Any pointers or feedback is appreciated. Thanks all

Sure you could do it. Make it yours. But, give the Narrowfields a good run first. They are awesome pick ups. I had a Studio for a couple of years and swapped the 57/08 for a 59/09 because I wanted something a tad hotter.

Not sure about the routing. The HB should be straight forward. The two NF slots might be too small. Only one way to find out!
