pickups

Hi, I have a set of 58/15 pickups that I purchased recently from an individual that swapped them out of 2019 594 SC. I just looked on the back of the pickups, and see: 5815 LT and 5815 LT "V" BASS I assume the 5815 LT is the bridge...but what is a 5815 LT "V"? Thanks!

Anyone know what kind of magnets are used in the Silver Sky JM635 pickups? Alnico 5, 2, ceramic, etc? Thanks for the replies!

Trying to pin down a good upgrade set of pickups for my daily driver. she’s a 2002 Santana SE All mahogany body/neck Rosewood fretboard Stoptail Bridge Tuning : she lives in E Standard & Drop D 40/60 of the time, for all playing styles. I never tune it below Drop D, as I have a Strat that lives...

Hello all, I have been lurking around the forum for some time for some tips and opinions on pickups. Well so it's my first time switching pups for my old PRS guitar. I own a 1995 PRS CE24 and swapped out HFS/VB set for a pair of Dragon 1's. In case if anyone seeks my personal thoughts: I love...

Was just wondering which is preferred (or any pickup for that matter) I'm sort of looking for something that will really ring out on clean harmonics, have great mids but can also play some quality metal/punk tones. I have the stock SE 245 "S" pickups, and while I really do like the sound, I...

Hello, I'm a new PRS customer, new to this forum, and just purchased a new Santana SE. Love it so far - except there is significant noise/hum on all pickups, and noticeably worse when toggle in middle position. Can anyone shed light on what to expect in terms of noise for this guitar/pickups...

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.

Hi, I just pickup up a second hand se Custom 24 and I am having issues with the pickups. The bridge pickup when split becomes extremely noisy, this includes when in the middle position as well. And the neck pickup seems to have no effect at all when I coil split. I have taken some photos of the...

First post, second PRS. I bought a second-hand 2018 S2 Standard 24 Satin and am encountering some conflicting information on which pickup set it has. The pickups are stock but the previous owner thinks they are the 85/15s set. I see information online that indicate they are the 58/15s set, but...

Hi, I am looking to buy some TCI "S" pickups found in the PRS SE Custom 24-08, particularly the neck pickup. I'd be happy with something similar too. I understand that TCI is a system and not just a pickup. Do they use the same pickups from other guitars in the SE Custom 24-08 and...

I absolutely love my HBII, it is the most comfortable and easiest playing guitar I have. So much so, I really want to start using it as my main guitar in a 3 piece rock band but tonally it just isn't quite where I'd like it. However there are times when I wish the guitar had more punch. I...

Hi, I'm little bit confused. I just got SE Standard 24 that has serial number CTI C73854. I'm trying to find out that what pickups this guitar really has. Reseller keeps telling me that it has HFS and Vintage Bass pickups. I understood that SE Standard 24 guitars this new has already 85/15 S...

Say THAT five times fast! So I've got a core guitar with "hybrid hardware," which means gold screws in the squabbin pickups; and I'd like to replace the pickups with another model from the PRS store that do not have gold screws (because after all, they're regular replacement models). But of...

Hi everyone, I’ve got a cu 24 2012 and love it, but I’m looking for lower output pickups and have considered installing a set of Thornbuckers. I’ve been wondering whether there would be any wiring consequences that would affect coil splitting options, for instance, will the guitar still have...

Hi! First post here :) I just purchased a SE Zach Myers and I'm really liking the 245 "S" pickups. I have a SE Custom 7 string that I put a pair of Dimarzio PAF 7's in and that I found to sound pretty similar to the 245's. The 245 might have a little more top end, but not that much. Probably...

Hi everyone, I bought a PRS 35th Anniversary SE Custom 24 and it's a really nice guitar. I really like the neck, weight and how it feels overall. I do like the coil-split functionality, but for some reason I don't like the humbucker sounds. This is specially evident with the neck pickup, it...

I recently, got back into playing guitar and bought myself a new PRS Custom 24 SE after doing a ton of research. I couldn't try it out because my city is still on lockdown, but overall I was super happy and couldn't wait. It is being shipped and has not arrived yet. I then came across a whole...

Looks like the 2021 S2 Standards have 58/15 pickups, but earlier years, at least 2019, had 85/15. I'm looking hard at getting an S2 Standard Satin. Anybody here played both 58/15 and 85/15 pickups? (Ideally both on S2 Standards, but that's probably asking too much.) What's your impression of...

So... I've been absolutely loving this guitar but the pickups at best i dont care for, at worst i resent. Getting a good articulate clean sound out of them is a struggle, with high gain metal tones things are better but the note definition could be better. I'm looking for an affordable lower...
