pickups

I just purchased a 2008 PRS SC-245 10 top, was replacing strings and checked the pickup, to my surprise the guitar has a Santana III base and Dragon II treble pickup. Is this factory orcas this a mod? Was this a thing in the day?

Hi everyone, I couldn't find the exact layout I was looking for so I'm curious if anyone here can recommend how to do this wiring. I'm good with a soldering iron and have always done basic repairs, pot swaps, etc, but this is more complex than what I am used to and I can't find a schematic to...

I was taking out the pickups rings on my CE24 to check what was causing the neck pickup to tilt (couldn't figure out why but reinstalling the pickup rings fixed it!) when I noticed that the orange wire for the 85/15 TCI neck pickup, is barely attached to the pickup and feels like it could come...

Hi everyone, this is my first post here. I’ve recently bought my first PRS guitar - a used lefty custom 24 se - and it seems to have an issue I can’t find the cause of. When playing, particularly above the 12th fret, the notes sound dissonant almost like there is a rattle or a warbling sound...

Any SE NF3 players know if the pickup routing could accommodate 3 single coil pickups in a Strat configuration?

Being new to PRS, I started with two SE models, one being the Hollowbody II Piezo. This guitar sounds pretty slick to me, even with the imported pickups. However, in lurking through the shadows of the forum, its sounds like y’all might have the information I seek. In my SE Custom, I *think* it...

Hello, I ordered a set of Mojotone PW Hornets and wanted to attempt to install them myself; however, I'm finding myself to be overwhelmed in understanding what's actually going on here. I have a basic understanding of pots and switches but have never installed pickups before and all the...

Hi Everyone, I am new here, popped in to learn about modern eagle pickups, because I was given two but I can't find anything about them online. I don't know the year or anything really. Does anyone recognise it by this photo? I am interested in finding out what do they sound like and...

Good day everyone Someone is selling on Facebook a PRS SE Silversky Pickups, with the knobs and 5-way switch toggle, but the pickguard is a 10-hole strat pickguard, how would I know if this is legit, he selling it for $53.60. Here are the pictures. https://ibb.co/HtS9ZN2 https://ibb.co/s9kXj0J...

I recently added a PRS SE Custom 24-08 to the collection and am wanting to put nickel covers over the zebra pickups. More for aesthetics than anything, but during my interwebs research have found it might effect the tone. On that, I'm seeing where it might "mellow" the highs, which I'm fine...

Hello, Steve here, The demos of this modified SE are now live!!! Thanks to everyone for your patience. I know I said I'd do it a fee weeks ago but couldn't get around to it. This is a Santana SE that's been a bit modified, the biggest thing is the super limited Seymour Duncan pickups (I believe...

Just upgraded the pickups on my PRS SE Custom 24 Floyd from PRS 85/15 "S" pickups to Seymour Duncan Parallel Axis Distortion + Blues Saraceno. I know that Blues Saraceno pickup is originally designed for the bridge position, but I installed it on the neck position because: 1. It was really...

Hi, Does anyone have the se standard 24-08 wiring diagram?? in the website there's only for custom version. Regards

I have an SE Custom semihollow which I bought in 2008. It pre dates when PRS added the coil split to this model. It has zebra humbuckers, 3 positions, no coil split or tap. I'm trying to research whether it is possible to reverse engineer a coil split or tap, and which one would be better. Any...

…a Paul’s Guitar? I’ve got a core one and love it, but I’ve also started my own scratch-builds again and would like to try similar electronics in them. Funnily enough, of all the guitars I’ve played and owned I’ve yet to try any mini-humbuckers or firebird types, and I’m assuming the PGs might...

I have these pickups in my '21 PRS S2 McCarty 594. They sound terrible! Very muddy. On coil split the volume drops of about 50%. I see the pots and pickups are made in Korea. Seriously? Very disappointed. This guitar is not inexpensive. Supposed to be a "USA" guitar. I also noticed a...

Sorry if this is has been asked and may seem obvious. I found a late 2019 custom 22 I wanna buy however it has TM pickups but I would like TCI pickups. My question is: will that a be a direct swap? I can’t find if TM has split coils but I wanna make sure the guitar has the hardware to make...

Bought used on Marketplace. Regardless of the switch position, I am getting output from both pickups. I’ve tested this with a screwdriver. Tone pot works, coil split works, volume pot works. I looked at the wiring and it doesn’t look like it’s been modified at all. Anybody know what the issue...

Hi I have got PRS SE standard 24 few months back. It plays great and smooth. Only thing I would like to change is the pickups. I use VOX practice amp to practice normally. And both of them together give me a very trebly sound. There is lack of bass. The pickups have clarity but are not suited...

I recently got a 245 SE guitar - I absolutely love it! It plays very well and its become my go to 'everyday guitar'. I was never a person to replace pickups in guitars - literally have never done this. I currently play through a Fractal Audio FM9 Turbo, into stereo studio monitors (Yamahas). I...
