Many thanks to the OP and to the person who resurrected this thread from the archives. I still have my first PRS, a SE 245, which I hadn't been using in a while because it sounded rather flat compared to my Custom 22. Upon reading this, I checked the pickup heights, and lo and behold, it turned...

As far as I know, they updated the 85/15 S pickup some time around 2017, so that there are older (up to 2017) and newer (post-2017) versions of the 85/15 S pickups, which might explain the different specs that you found. I had the older ones in my Custom 22 and the newer ones in my Custom 24...

Mine was a SE 245 Standard in Vintage Cherry from 2017. A whale blue SE Custom 22 followed briefly afterwards.

Well, a friend of a friend is a luthier, and I asked him what he could do. He said that he could even out the dent and fix the varnish, but to fix it totally, he would have to sand off a larger section of the veneer and re-paint it by hand, with no guarantee that it would look better. Probably...

At a recent gig, my SE Custom 22 got damaged and now has a dent with some of the clear coat gone (see images). I wonder if there is a way to fix this or at least make it look less conspicuous, or if there's nothing I can do about it.

I have now also replaced the bass pickup, for which the black and white wires are connected conversely. So for replacing the 85/15 S with 57/08s, the wires must be connected as follows: Bridge (treble) pickup....... || Neck (bass) pickup........... 85/15 S.... |...

Thanks. In the meantime, I was able to confirm that for the treble pickup: bare/shield = ground black = hot white = ground red = coil tap Works nicely.

As I said above, that's what I tried to do, but the wiring diagrams on the PRS site are not helpful in any way. It would be helpful just to know which wire on the 57/08 pickup is which.

I would like to replace the 85/15 S bridge pickup in my PRS SE Custom 24 with a 57/08 treble pickup. However, I'm a bit confused because the wire colors are not the same on these two pickups. The 85/15 S has black (ground), red (hot), and green and white (soldered together and to the push/pull...
