If you're playing drop tunings, I assume we play similar styles...you probably go a little harder than I do. I never gelled with the McCarty pickups. Dragon 1s are great in my opinion (the neck Dragon 1 is the same as the neck Dragon 2...but I believe the Dragon 1 bridge is a ceramic magnet...

I had a Custom in Black Cherry and really didn't care for the finish - it didn't really pop (and I felt like the ivory pickup rings made the whole thing look a little cheap). Gorgeous Ruby Red guitar (love the name 'Pete')

Grammar teacher here was wondering the same thing.

I have CE22s with both Dragon 1 and HFS in the bridge position - different animals. I typically use my HFS equipped CE for drop-D tuning and keep my Dragon 1 for standard. There are myriad other factors that affect tone...

If it doesn't stick around, let me know!

Anyone have a wiring diagram for the Unbucker? Should be pretty straightforward - I have a push/pull in there currently, so the desire is that the "pull" taps the unbucker and the "push" has it full humbucking. The color code I found from Fralin says red is "split" (outside slug and screw...

He did some setups and pickup installs for me (and sold me a sweet PRS CE) back when he was at Magdon Music in Scranton.

I have a swamp ash special (2002 Core, sunburst) that has McCarty pickups and nails the single coil sound...maybe a trade would be better than a rout job ;)

Just saying... @Jack Gretz is the man

I believe it was a 96 Custom 24 in black cherry finish (10 top) with birds. I ended up trading it for a 2001 Singlecut not long after, but it still holds a special place in my heart.

Would love to see pics of the project as she goes!

Hey all - a lot of forum and technical reading and YouTube watching has me itching to "just do it" and pull the middle pickup as well... The (bridge) Railhammer Heavy 90 is 15k and the (neck) Fralin Unbucker is 8.71k - for the middle, I'm torn between a DiMarzio Dark Matter 2 (7.33k) versus a...

Anybody have any specs specifically on the NS-01 (middle) pickup? (magnet? ohms?)

Get a Starla or old EG or Silver Sky and do a custom pickguard...sky's the limit.

This is what I thought - but I know PRS has a few neck pickups that "look upside down" so thought I would double check with those of you more familiar with the Unbucker. Super excited for this project. Tangentially - have any of you ever used 'guitarelectronics.com' for schematics? You can...
