I have a Mira as well. I wasn’t bonding with the original pups, so I selected a DiMarzio 36th Aniv for the neck because it’s in the PAF neighborhood, but is known for it’s clarity (especially in the neck) and it has an A5 magnet which helps me keep the pickup low and out of the way and still...

Hi Honeyiscool, I remember you from the harmony central forum prior to the mass exodus. Glad you like your guitar, and I have a very similar story having recently purchased my first PRS, a Mira. I have been tweaking mine with new electronics also, and I think it is finally done. I shielded...

Sorry, no experience with those. I just use linear and audio taper CTS pots on everything. I did use a reverse audio taper on a blender control once. That was a fun experiment and I still use it, but I've never used a custom taper. Good tip though, I may give them a try.

I agree with wardog on the linear vol. I think linear on volume is most common also (unless you are altering the taper with a treble bleed resistor, then all bets are off). I will disagree on the tone pot though, I think audio taper is pretty standard for those. However, pots are cheap, so if...

I'm wondering about the output level between your 36th in the neck and the 59/09 bridge. The 36th is an A5 and although it's a light wind, it does hold it's own with a hot A5 humbucker in the bridge. No load tone pots are typically used for an extra boost at the resonant peak of the pickup. If...

If you are asking me, I paired the 36th with a Gibson 498t. This is currently in my Mira (only two knobs and coils split toggle). I just love the 498t in the bridge of an all mahogany guitar, and this is no exception. Pure rock and roll right there. I put some larger pots in to brighten it a...

I have a DiMarzio 36th in my neck as well. Love that pickup. It has all 5 wires (start and finish of both north and south coils plus ground), so with all that flexibility you should be able to get it to work with the 59/09. For knob options you might try master vol, two tones, and a blender...
