    PRS Equivalent to a Fender American Ultra Telecaster?

    I'd say an S2 in terms of price, but being biassed qualitywise I expect the PRS to be better. https://eu.prsguitars.com/electrics/model/s2_mccarty_594_thinline_2023_2 This guy in black might do the trick?

    Published Official 85/15 S Pickup Specs?

    Cool! I must admit I get it. Somehow the import PUs miss that mojo preium PUs have. The USA counterparts, but also akin PUs from industry standards like SD, Lollar, BKP simply have more. Great you enjoy them!

    Is it worth switching from 85/15s to 85/15?

    Id say yes, but that is because in general I am not the biggest fan of the imported pickups

    Early 2000's McCarty vs CU22 for high-gain sounds?

    Based on your description the CU22 seems more fitting. Sounds more modern, even with the same PUs. The dragons are quite a bit hotter than older McC PUs and more suitable for your style All IMO of course I have both guitars and made the comparison swapping PUs. Different beasts. Love en both...

    Lollar Or Other P90 Suggestions??

    Well, if I am 71 I hope I will still be playing in church as well :). And I am well versed with helix and how snapshots work. I actually play through a kemper with profiles from a Mesa TA15 Top Boost channel. A sound you can easily imitate with the Machless CH1 in the POD go (chime department)...

    Lollar Or Other P90 Suggestions??

    Maybe it is the amp as well. I play with vox style amps: they are a little chimey by nature, so that added chime goes a looooooong wY

    Lollar Or Other P90 Suggestions??

    Underwinding helps and 5% is quite noticeable. Another trick is using an AlNiCo 5, also very noticable difference. My set of wolfetone mean-underwound mean (-5%) was a little boomy in the neck until I swapped out the alnico 2 as suggested by wolfe. Very happy camper with the results. Crisp...
