Funny, I asked this same question 5 years ago - https://forums.prsguitars.com/threads/looking-for-pickup-rings-switch-tip-for-ps.20745/
I did get the hardwood rings, but I couldn't adjust the pickups properly and then broke one of them so looking for good ole, plastic this time...
Also, I...
Yeah, but I replaced the tone pot with another PRS push pull and got the same results (not with the split, as I didn't install the resistors or split the pickups at all).
Also, the neck pickup just doesn't "sound right" - maybe it's just because the bridge is anemic, but it seems like it's too...
Ok, so I had my buddy take a look at it today and got some measurements...
Plugging in a 1/4" jack and reading the end I got:
Humbuckers
Bridge - 4.95
Middle - 3.02
Neck - 7.56
Coil Split
Bridge - 2.36
Middle - 1.58
Neck - 4.67
He said it looks like the bridge pickup is only putting out...
Thanks, man - I'll check the switch later on tonight.. . The middle position works but that neck pickup being overbearing is a concern. I'll have my buddy look at it tomorrow and measure the pickup outputs...
Maybe lame subject, but something weird happened - not sure where to start...
It's a 2009 McCarty Smokeburst with the original 57/08s in it.
I had this guitar in the PTC a while back when there was a grounding issue and Skitchy sorted it and also changed the split resistors to what I think may...
My McCarty Smokeburst has the same thing going on with the dots. On a few of the dots, the finish has popped off and there’s a bit of a bubble forming under one of the upper fret tangs...
Actually, I didn’t look at them too much (only had a few minutes there) but I thought I heard one of the guys there say that they were pre- lawsuit single cuts. I can find out, if anyone wants to know...
No kidding - there was a Modern Eagle in the batch, as well - that got scooped up pretty quickly. I think there was a banged up 73 Tele deluxe in the lot as well...
So, my local mom & pop shop took in a bunch of PRS guitars from one guy - some pretty cool choices here with the pinnacle being this PS with a gorgeous one piece top, gold outlined birds - sounded great!
Anyway, if anyone is interested, it’s Musician’s Workshop in Manalapan, NJ - 732.972.1118...
Haha - I was looking at the pickup descriptions on the PRS accessories site earlier and said, “gee, look at that eq curve on the 59/09...”
I’m due to get a new DGT soon, so maybe I’ll wait before doing any pickup swaps to see if that scratches my itch more and I can just keep the McCarty as a...
