    DiMarzio Steve’s Special or PRS 85/15S ?

    Regarding the bridge position, is anyone familiar with both these pickups that can offer info about how similar or different they might be? Is one hotter/compressed, are they EQed similarly etc. Might be an obscure question so thanks for any input.

    PRS SE Custom 24 has anyone tried rotating or flipping split coil pickups?

    could be a good point, but carrying that out someone could write something that is a legal liability

    Thanks, I'll look into that but it seems a little archaic?

    I can't get picture to upload. Do pics have to have a url? Seems like they should be uploaded without a url?

    PRS SE Custom 24 has anyone tried rotating or flipping split coil pickups?

    I did this to both pick ups as shown in the picture and they really do make a difference in tone. The bridge is thicker and the neck cuts through a little more. Also the middle position split Sounds a little more 2 or 4 in between positions Strat like. I don’t think there’s any change in...

    Which Seymour Duncan or Dimarzio pickups are most similar to 85/15s?

    The Dimarzio pickup site lists each pickup with a relative output number for bass, mids, and treble, plus overall output, example bass-6 mid-7.5 treble-5 output 380 so you can compare pickups relative to each other. Does anyone have an idea how the PRS 85/15s pickups EQ curve and output compare...

    SE Custom 24 Pickups Phase

    Split, It sounds more like a tele mid position. But if you simply flip the pickups still in the mounting rings 180*, it sounds more like a strat. It also improves the split tone of the bridge alone.

    Strat quack

    I flipped both pups 180. Now I have better single coil tone and mid position sounds like a Strat. No other mods needed. Thanks prs for leaving enough lead wire to reverse.

    85/15S Are there equal windings on each coil?

    Never mind. Did it today, big improvement over the single coil tone options. Can't believe they don't come like this stock.

    85/15S Are there equal windings on each coil?

    Hi, regarding 85/15s, does anyone know if the screw and slug coils/bobbins are equal in output or is one side stronger than the other? I Have an SE Custom 24, wondering if I flipped both pickups 180 if it would give a more Strat tone with both pickups on, and if it would thicken the single coil...
