    PRS CE 22 20th Anniversary - pickups change

    Thanks, I don't want to put big money in pickups, I was looking for something like Duncans or DiMarzio. Guitar is a 2006 for sure, it has 20th anniversary cover and serial in the range of 2006. I don't find anywhere much things about the color. It was maybe a special dealer order. A friend of...

    PRS CE 22 20th Anniversary - pickups change

    Just found a 20th Anniv CE 22 in nice condition. http://imgur.com/a/KxQWi I was looking all over the internet about this color, but only found 2 sites with a similar one and they called Graphite Metallic.

    How Do #7 Pickups Compare to Traditional PAFs?

    I find S2's #7 a bit woofy and missing the clarity too, but this can be solved by removing the covers. This is waht I do in one S2 Singlecut. In the other Singlecut changed the stock #7 with GFS Retroton Liverpool and the guitar really shines now. It is different indeed, but the sound is...

    S2 standard and custom 22

    Hi Nick, The only difference (beside the aesthetics) is that S2 Custom have a maple cap, Standard 22 is all mahogany. Custom 22 is snappier and more present, Standard has a more rounded tone.

    Pickups For PRS SE Floyd Custom 24

    Don't have the chance to check Perpetual Burn, but from YT samples looks like a nice pickup for what you need, it is medium output and alnico 5. It looks like is more vintage sounding than Pegasus, so both of them are nice choice for what you need.

    Pickups For PRS SE Floyd Custom 24

    I can't say that Transitions are mid heavy, maybe that are a modern PAF voicing pickups, with more mids and little compression. I don't know about Illuminators, from YT seems to have a very modern voicing like all Petrucci's pickups, For me SD's in Custom 24 are the perfect set, very well...

    Pickups For PRS SE Floyd Custom 24

    Duncan Pegasus/Sentinient sounds very good in an non FR SE C24. They are modern pups with vintage flavour, so you have good crunch and distortion tone with nice cleans. The same with DiMarzio Transitions that have nice splits in addition.

    04 Cu22 vs 30th S2 cu24 vs 2 SE's

    If you are ok with core Cu22 neck profile I say you should go for that. Most of them are incredible guitar for the money, and for 1100$ is a steal. If you don't like it you should sell it quickly for that money, not the same for S2 that go for 800-900 used. SE is a nice guitar for the money, but...
