Out of phase is definitely an acquired taste. They are wired with 4-conductors, so you could just reverse the hot and ground on one pickup and be back in phase. ;)

Have you considered the Seymour Duncan "Green Magic" pickups? Sounds like they might be up your alley: Seymour Duncan Green Magic

I've only owned two: a DOD Ice Box from years ago that I don't remember much, and a now a Boss CE-2W Waza Craft. It sounds authentic enough to me!

The 35th Anniversary guitars were available with different neck profiles. Just a thought…

The Silver Sky truss rod cover just doesn't do it for me...:confused:

I have a 2008 Korina McCarty and updated it to current hardware. The new Stoptail Rings fit with no issues.

Have you tried lowering the pickups while raising the adjustable polepieces?

If you want to stay with PRS pickups and sound more vintage, look into the 57/08 and/or 59/09. 53/10 usually get high marks too, but are much harder to come by.

I place a folded t-shirt underneath the body of my CE24. That makes up the difference of the thinner body, and places less stress on the neck. Fits like a champ! :cool:

If you have a multimeter, you could probably figure it out. But yes, an email to PRS would get you the most official results.

Providing the TCI pickups follow the same color code as the Tremonti pickups, the individual wires would be: -Black (Hot to 3-way Toggle Switch) -White (Ground) -Red/Green (Series Connection to Push/Pull) -Shield (Ground)

What about trying tuning machines with a shorter string post to create a sharper break angle over the nut? I know that Gotoh offers staggered sets, as well as adjustable height posts.

For a bridge pickup to match the 59, I’d go with a 59/Custom Hybrid. Also, if the 59 is too “boomy” in the neck (which can happen with 22 fret guitars), look at the Jazz.

The newer iteration of the CE guitars have the scarf joint as well.

The JB has an upper midrange “krang” thing going on. Hard to get lost in a mix with that!
