Here's a demo to give a taste of the "Tone Furnace" pickups that come stock in this PRS SE Custom.

Subjective answer to follow:
Certainly reminds me of the Jazz/JB combo that you mention. I'd say lots of mids and highs, more like a JB. I hear a distinct treble push when I go from neck to bridge, but its girthy too... A useful combination of pickups for sure. The ability to drive the amp...
Late message, but I'll chime in and agree with CoreyT. Best SE I have ever played. I chanced upon this guitar last week and was just blown away by the overall design and execution.
I just bought a SE Custom 22 with these very pickups. They are very nice indeed. I find myself on the neck pickup or the blended position. A very nice set. Interesting that the bridge is so "hot" but I have heard that DC resistance is only one of many measures. Anyone know if these are...
Yes, so far, very good experience. I don't know why I've avoided the 25-scale for so long. 10" radius. No sharp frets. All just very well done. I actually traded in a well loved Reverend Double-Agent III to make this happen. No dis to the Rev whatsoever. We just...drifted apart. Probably...
Well... Here's how this story ended.
went back next day. It was still there, so no-one else had discovered the magic yet. Good. The Tremonti neck pickup was as magic as I remember, yet there were a number of non-compelling issues (trem, weight!, color) that began to eat away at me and...
Overthinking: That's what I do! Indeed, you are most probably correct. I should get over cosmetics, and trying to find one that's "even better". Indeed, after playing about 10 teles and a few 335-style and strat-style... this one spoke to me.
Glad to hear these responses! Keep em' coming! Now I'm headed to a different store to play the same exact model in a different color. This should give me an idea if I need to buy the 'snowflake' guitar or if this is a fantastic formula that PRS has consistently re-created. I'm so amazed with...
Wow. I was amazed by the tonal balance that was achieved by this instrument and I want to figure out if it was just "that" guitar, or if this is a formula that has been figured out and is repeatable. Sometimes you want to optimize and sometimes it's just that magic instrument that speaks to you...
