Awesome. I appreciate that. Looks great. So no problem with holes lining up?

Hey everyone, was hoping to get a little help with ordering some parts for this guitar. I want to switch out a lot of the black plastic and I already have vintage style S2 tuners and the toggle, and now I need the pickup rings. I seen two different sets on the PRS site, one for stoptail...

Well the polished A5 is in and it sounds fantastic! Really nice. It’s not over powering anything tone wise. Just the right amounts of everything. The pickup still maintains its midrange character too. I really like it. I was hoping it would still retain some of that mid creaminess. This is the...

I should notice a stronger difference between the RCA5 and the polished A5, right?

Definitely really love the RCA5. Seems like a stronger A2. I also didn’t want to mess with an original 58/15 LT, but I’m tired of spending constantly. Hopefully the polished A5 will do the trick.

UPDATE: Today I put in a rough cast A5 and it definitely improved the overall dark tone. Just not enough to match the Firebirds big, beautiful clarity. So tomorrow, when I have more time, I’ll try an A5 polished.

Mojotone, is where I get mine. Also, when you slide the magnet out of the pick up, you put the new one up to it, slde by side, longways and get em to stick to confirm it’s the right direction

The 3’s will definitely do that. I used to run A3’s in the neck and A2/A3 in the bridge of the p90s, but eventually switched to all A3’s.

I recently replaced the A2’s in my McCarty korina’s SD Antiquities p90s for some A3’s, and “WOW!” What a nice change. Very p90, but not so muffled.

Clarity is definitely what I’m aiming for. The Lollar Firebird is one of the most beautiful, clear, and dynamic pickups I’ve ever heard. Especially for a neck pickup. So the balance is pretty off right now. My 58/15 LT is a two wire and it’s split. The white wire goes to the tone push/pull.

Yeah, the 53/10s have always been my favorite

Actually I ordered both, just in case. Good to know. I was wondering what the difference was. Thanks.

I just ordered an A5…I really think that will get it more to my liking.

Cool. Thanks for the reply. I’m thinking about swapping in an A5 or two A5s. I’m finding it a little too dark and rounded for my liking. I’m using it in a Vela with a Lollar Firebird in the neck.

Does anyone know what type of magnet is in these. They sound like A2’s. Thanks
