Mine was delivered today. I took a pic and it shows what Lkdog shows. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hxg2Azj0SG7uiApAfK7CjNPE3EWfAdcm/view?usp=share_link

"anyone else know what their 58/15S pickups read?" SE HB Bridge: 8.0K SE HB neck: 7.5K

Here are the tones of the 6 positions of the Free-Way Switch and those 6 positions coil tapped. The signal path is out the Piezo/Mag output into the AxeFXIII (Input1 block > shunts > Output1 block, no effects) into Audacity. Sound was exported as a wav file and synced to video. No adjustments...

So... I put everything together and went to listen to all the beautiful tones coming out of this setup. Started on the normal bridge pickup. Sounded great! Switched to the normal neck and bridge position and... no sound. :( Only 3 of the six toggle positions produced sound. :( :( The coil split...

Making some progress... Had to take it apart... https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RF4tU3wjB_YyL-X30y4o-zBnr955AHjZ/view?usp=sharing Very impressed with the quality of this guitar... https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m3WWcJhXklU1eNV1tAcnxo_VPyCiqvSl/view?usp=sharing...

Mar 11, 2022, 11:15 AM: OK, from what you say these do appear to be standard 4 conductor pickups, they also do appear to be a reverse magnetic polarity set, hence the wire colours have been transposed when comparing the neck and the bridge. This is fairly normal for PRS. I think the...

Thought I would keep those interested in the loop... I received a reply today from Free-Way: I'm having some difficulty answering your question due to not being able to find any definitive information on the 58/15 S pickups... My belief is that the US equivalents of these pickups are 4...

So I did a little tinkering with my SE HB II Piezo about 6 or 8 months ago because when the guitar was shipped to me, the PU selector switch was damaged and I replaced it for a partial refund on my purchase. I experimented with different configurations and ended up wiring the 58/15 S for...

Hi @CrimesAgainstMusic , My plan was to use the switch for the mags only. Using both 1/4 inch outs works well with my rig for separating or blending the piezo / mags. Good to know the top is strong enough to handle the push/pull pot. I never thought about it, but I'm glad you did. I do remember...

I think I'm going to order this for my SE HB Piezo. https://www.freewayswitch.com/schematics-toggle/ (3X3-03 2PU 2Pot PP B) Plenty of options and no drilling. Anyone use these before?

Decided to nix the the series/parallel/single coil project for now. It's all personal preference, but I really like her set up with each HB's coils in parallel (Cost = a little solder and some shrink tubing). For anyone interested, here is how I wired her up: Bridge PU: Green & Black are hot...

I separated all the PU leads today for testing. Neck slug 3.65K, Bridge slug 4.08K, Neck screw 3.94K, Bridge screw 3.94K I compared separate coils (slug and screw), series, and parallel wiring. My favorite was parallel for both the neck and bridge pickup with the following wiring: Red & White...

Paul comes across as very particular on how things are done. I don't doubt everything PRS does is done for a reason. I'm guessing which wires are taped-off (when wired for humbucker use only) does not really affect the tone. It would only matter on guitars designed for coil splitting. Thanks...

@Hotspur - That's what I was thinking while trying to figure out how to go forward with this project! A 3 position DPDT mini toggle looks like this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1g1sY5HcMdsRxLA-DzRRnYx-gEb4l89_Y/view?usp=sharing Based on how the switch works, I tried to figure out how to...
