Here is the link to spectrum analysis between the stock pickups and JB&Jazz set: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kza54zsjqued9wx/AAAcMAULNCceCJSj2Us7kONna?dl=0 I played only treble E string at the 12th fret and analyzed the spectrum. It is easy to see that the Seymour Duncan set has brighter tone...

I got the SD Jazz&JB set (Zebra color) installed yesterday. Now the sound is on par with my Gibson LP Studio with Burstbucker Pros, or even better :) I was able to test only with Vox AC30-style headphone amp due to the fact that the pickup swap operation was finished very late in the evening...

Jazz & JB set (Hotrodded set) in Zebra color in on it's way from a Finnish webshop. Suprisingly cheaper than from Thomann in Germany. With the pickups swap to zebra the guitar should look a bit more like the first guitars Paul made: http://www.prsguitars.com/30/img/paul_then.jpg

OK. Based on the comments about Alnico II and Slash set it is starting to sound like I'll get the good old Jazz/JB set from Seymour Duncan, although I was thinking to try more vintage ones. I also listened to many clips form SD website and Youtube. Anyway I had really good experience about the...

Interesting... I was thinking that the Santana III pickups are not very hot. At least compared to my LP Studio with Bustbucker Pros. Based on that and Seymour Duncan web page I would have assumed that the Slash set is hotter than Santana III set.

Thanks for the answers. I knew that Alnico V would be brighter than Alnico II, but how about the muddiness in the bass strings with Slash set? In my opinion the SD JB and Gibson Burstbucker Pro (both Alnico V) are quite percussive (thinking about styles like Ozzy, Whitesnake, Gary Moore). The...

These Slash pus with zebra color would also look nice :D . Very close to the model where everything started with Paul Reed Smith ( If I'm not totally wrong).

Hi, I have a Santana III and I absolutely like the looks, feel and the playability of the guitar. The pickup sound is quite ok, but for me it seems to be perhaps a bit too dark and perhaps a bit too muddy at the bass strings. I've tried to adjust the pickup heights and pole pieces and now I'm...

Hi again, Since I'm a tweaker by nature, I updated my SE EG with new Seymour Duncan Classic Stack Plus (STK-S4) in the neck and middle, and put a Seymour Duncan JB (SH-4) in the bridge. I have to tell that now the guitar sounds much better. The singlecoils are noiseless (as silent as humbuckers...

Hi, They support answered very quickly and here are the specs (if someone else needs these as well): PRS SE EG with HSS-pickup arrangement, Serial Fxxxxx Year 2005, mahogany body, mahogany neck with a wide/fat carve, rosewood fretboard, 10” radius, 6150 style frets with SE pickups. Cheers, -iec

Thanks for the tip. I sent e-mail to the customer service. Let's see what happens :) Maybe they do not dare to leave me without some answer, because I live so close to the Santa Claus :santa:. Cheers, -iec

Thanks :) I also really like this model. It combines quite nicely all the things that are good in LP and Strat. The wide fat neck with smaller radius than LP and shorter scale than strat has is a perfect match for my fingers. I was actually thinking that the radius could be something between 9.5...

Hi, I recently bought a second hand white SE EG with h-s-s (my first PRS), but I was not able to find exact specs of the guitar. Apparently the model is discontinued. Does anyone know the specs? All help is appreciated :) So far I know that it has Wide fat neck and 25" scale, but what is the...
