I just purchased a freeway ultra 6 way and emailed freeway to see if they could do a custom schematic. Wondering if anyone here might have done this or could offer thoughts. Here’s the desired scheme, I’m using 85/15 pups: PRS guitar, 2 humbuckers, one volume,One tone push pull. I’d like the...

Thanks, feeling better I think it’s just the replacement push pull, I’ll wait for the new one. Sounds like i had it correct.

I just bought an 2003 CU24. I have a set of 85/15’s that I have installed and want to convert to a 3way toggle with push pull. I ordered a 3 way drop in kit but unfortunately have to reorder a new push pull, I was making solder spots for grounding and must have gotten it too hot and it won’t...

I have an S2 Standard 24 that has been upgraded with 85/15 USA pickups and a 2002 NOS bridge from Mann Made. I got some good deals which made those viable versus upgrading the entire guitar. Looking to make this a guitar that if I can only take one to a gig and need a variety of sounds, this is...

No worries about hi-jacking the thread. I don’t have a whole lot of play time nor have i played them with my band live yet, but my thoughts on 85/15’s are if a PAF style pickup is an el34 Tube, an 85/15 is a KT88. They are clear, articulate with more dynamic range than your typical bucker.;

Thanks I figured it out, I used this diagram to make it work. https://forums.prsguitars.com/threads/alternate-wiring-for-five-way-blade-custom-22-custom-24.25835/ But what you posted is also helpful. For what it’s worth, while the 85/15s are voices like the USA 85/15’s, there’s no...

I have a2 standard 24 which had 85/15s pickups in it however I just picked up a set of USA 85/15 pickups on the gear page. The old pickups had green/white/red and bare with the green and white wires landed to the push pull and red to the selector switch. The USA pickups have black/white/red...

Thanks so much, I’m going to restring.

I need to play it again but I think both, I stopped short of mentioning this in my previous post because I need to make sure. Leaning towards sharp though. I recall going that way more in retuning.

I play 10’s which I believe what comes on this model. The nut is the same as the core models and it has locking tuners as stock. I may try changing the strings just to be sure they were installed correctly. When using the trem it is pretty stable but if you dig in really good with bends it...

I recently acquired a S2 Standard 24 that was made in March of 2018. I haven’t spent a whole lot of time with it but I did take it to rehearsal over the weekend. I’m having problems keeping it in tune after doing some bending. I stretched the strings out a bit which seems to have helped but...
