    Haha. No I actually like them. Also I don't want to do anything to modify the guitar further if at all possible. They work well although obviously not so well as those on my strat...

    Help with Identifying pre-modcat Instruments

    From the end of this: "So I asked PRS this time. Then the commercial Ed King model taught me that it was still a ham / singles / ham layout, that it was an Indian rose fingerboard, and that it was custom made. In some cases, it can be made to order, but it can not be made public accurately about...

    http://www.geocities.jp/e08120/edking/ed.html This needs to be translated and is somewhat difficult to read. But this seems to be a pretty close match. The guitar he discusses has the same thing as mine with the "10" written in the pickup cavity but not on the headstock. Also it seems the "ed...

    Agreed. Also, thanks for the lead on the Ed King setup. I have found some info in those, although none from 96.

    The polarity reversal shouldn't be an issue as long as all of the new pickups installed are correctly oriented (since all were replaced). I didn't notice any issues there playing it.

    Yeah it looks pretty figured to me... But I guess my eye is just less discerning than those belonging to the prs wood graders. As for it being a custom order, this was my first thought as well. I was wondering if there were any production models with 3 pickups and the rotary and push pull combo.

    Ah I see thanks. Well, I'll need to sit down and figure out what all the switching does since I haven't found an explanation anywhere.

    Yeah I knew the pickups were replaced which may or may not be an improvement depending on what the goal is . It sounds awesome with the jbs though. As for the ten top thing that makes a lot of sense. Perhaps the wood was originally graded as a ten top and then downgraded after it was stained...
