pickups

Greetings All- What is the factory spec. height for the Bridge and Neck Pick ups for 58/15 LT's? I just put some in my 2006 McCarty Hollowbody ii. and want to get them adjusted correctly! Cheers!

Hey guys! Sorry if the topic is repetitive. I have perused through the SE mod thread to find some answers but.... Got to thinking after playing my tremonti that my se single cut needs some love and upgrades. Maybe due to me noticing the vast difference in tone. The us guitar just breathes...

I just got the above mentioned guitar this past week, and the top switch position has no sound at all. I'm extremely new to guitars, so I have no clue what it could be. I have a cheap, old amp and cable that I'm using that were given to me 12 years ago when I was thinking about learning, so...

Good morning all, hoping you and yours are safe. Recently I got the chance to purchase, second-hand, one of my dream guitars. This is a 2009 Standard 24 Satin. Got it from a private seller in another state here in México. Upon arrival I disassembled everything carefully to make sure all is...

Hi everyone, I'm brand new to the PRS family. I've always but a Telecaster and Les Paul player. But glad to have just picked up a SE SemiHollow :) So far I really like the feel of it. I have never been a fan of exposed hum buckers, and not digging the creme color either, so I am going to install...

I have almost zero experience with PRS guitars other than the silver sky which is a completely different animal. 1. I'm highly considering the S2 594 because of the price range and the reviews I've read/ videos watched. But I'm worried that the pickups won't be good enough compared to the Core...

So far loving my SE 245. The way the strings bend on the 24.5" scale neck is absolutely great compared to the american pro tele i'm used to. I am currently using a 50 watt boss katana amp and am looking to get more of a classic 60-70s treble sound out of the guitar. I am fairly new to modding...

I went searching for this topic, but couldn't seem to find anything on the pickups specifically. Any owners of a 2000s era SC245 in here? What were those pickups like? I ask because I'm considering buying a used one and would like to know ahead of time what they're like. Any other pickups on the...

I purchased an SE 24 Custom this summer, I am very happy with it. However when I switch tap from single-coil to humbucker, the 60 cycle hum I can still hear hum. The hum gets a little quieter, but when playing high-gain the hum can be quite pronounced. By contrast, on my strat, when I switch to...

Hi all, I just got a second hand PRS S2 Custom 22 (2016) from a guitar swap. It mounts #7 S Pickups as is from 2016 and to be honest, my first impression (I only have played that guitar for a couple of hours so far) is that I'm a bit disappointed in the sense that I was expecting more joy from...

So I did my first gig in a long time over the weekend. I was a sub rhythm player for a buddy's blues band at the local horse racing track. Was actually a lot of fun, but I do have some issues with the sport, that's not the topic though. Round first of the year I got a new to me DGT. 08 goldtop...

Has anyone here ever converted a 2-conductor pickup into a 4 conductor pick up? I ask because I have a Tremonti SE that I’ve upgraded with USA Pickups. I added a push/pull pot the bridge Humbucker and it’s awesome, I love having the versatility of coil splitting. I want to do it to the neck as...

Love the clarity, string separation and sound of the Starla core pups. Anyone ever tried them in something other than a Starla? Something with a maple top?

I'm looking for some pickups that could replace me D-Style pickups on my studio. Something that is the same size but has more presence and bite. I am not looking for hotter pickups, I feel the d-style pickups have a nice output to them. They just lack some character and presence. I was looking...

EDIT: I've made a mistake in topic, I meant pickup poles Hi! I have a problem with my '2016 CU24 with 85/15's. When I'm touching the poles on the neck pickup I can hear some loud buzz/hum. It happens only when neck pickup is engaged, it does not happen on bridge pickup. I've checked with...

A couple days ago I picked up an S2 Studio with the hopes of adding a versatile "super Strat" to my collection. And I must say, everything about the guitar is fantastic--except it doesn't sound like a Strat. Is it possible that I may have a defective pickup, bad wiring or something? I love the...

Hi everybody. New PRS user here. I traded a Les Paul Standard for a 2003 McCarty. Playing it for 3 weeks now and I'm really happy with it. Build quality, playability and craftmanship are top notch. The only thing is the pickups (especially the neck) sound quite muddy to my ears. Like a blanket...

Hello - trying to determine if I remove the covers on my 57/08 pickups, if they will have the square bobbin look that I'm after. Does anyone know? Thank you!

The other day, I was fiddling around with the neck pickup height and pole height on my core model Starla, trying to get the neck to sound brighter, etc. I noticed with the coil tap engaged that the screw coil is the one that remains active. I noted with the screwdriver tip touching the pole...

Can the middle pole pieces of the Silver Sky be pushed down slightly to match the new 9.5~12 radius of my soon to be refretted SS. I know I can do it to Fender Pickups but not sure if doing it to the SS pickup will damage them.
