    57/08 covered or uncovered?

    Hi, Kind of an extension of a previous post but figured it's its own subject. I bought some 57/08s I'll be putting in my S2 - hopefully Monday. Looked around and saw that they made a 'special edition' S2 with uncovered 57's. Anyone know why they went uncovered? Is there something deeply...

    Upgrade Mira Pickups

    Has anyone upgraded the pickups on their Mira? The stock set-up seems somewhat muddy to me. I would imagine the coil-tap function affects the choices. Kinda new to this. Thanks, Michele

    S2/SE pup magnet change - big difference

    Just wanted to share that, like many before, I changed out the magnets in my S2. I've been unable to pick new pups (too many good choices) and had previously ordered some A5's and A4's - which arrived today. Figured nothing to lose so put the 5 in the bridge and 4 in the neck. Pickups used to...

    Details on the 2017 A10E's electronics?

    I've seen a metric crap ton of great demos, and some high level discussions that gloss over the electronics as active piezo under-saddle. I understand the tone/volume control setup and where the battery is tucked away. I was hoping to find some actual meat on the electronics: is it a PRS...

    57/08s are now available aftermarket...

    Call your favourite dealer! They might be on the USA PRS Accessory store too, I can't tell because it forces me to the UK version which isn't listing them yet.

    Pickup Options for '16 Tremonti SE Custom

    Hi people! I recently had a 2016 Tremonti SE Custom and love it apart from one thing: the bridge pickup. When choosing the guitar I agonised about holding out for the 2017 model but came to the conclusion that while I love Mark's playing....I ain't Tremonti and want the guitar to be a versatile...

    CE Pickup Question: Coil Split

    So I'm looking at picking up an older CE model, most likely a 22. A lot of what I'm seeing doesn't have the stock pickups, so I'll be looking to replace those. The main question I have is..... What's some good pickups for coil splitting? I'll be playing mostly rock and blues stuff, so that's...

    Pearly Gates

    Hi, was just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on my idea to replace the stock pickups in my PRS SE Custom 24 with a Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates in the bridge and a 59 in the neck position. Thanks Andy

    New humbuckers for sc250?

    Greetings from finland! I just purchased my first prs, and its just an incredible instrument. Now i need to replace these original 250 pickups for something more suitable for playing metal. I was thinking about placing something "hot sounding", like a duncan distortion to bridge and paf pro...

    Replace pickups in PRS SE FR with Seymour Duncan SH-6 Set

    Hello, I've got a PRS SE Custom 24 FR, which is a great guitar, love the feel and playability of it, great value for money too, but I'm wondering if the stock pickups are a little cheap sounding? Especially the lower notes with a lot of overdrive create unpleasant clashing overtones without the...

    S2 Pickups vs Core

    Hey everyone! I was just curious if anyone had compared the S2 pickups to their Core counterparts. For instance, I have an S2 Custom 24, which has the S2 HFS/VB set. I'm wondering if there would be much, if anything, to gain from upgrading to the core set. I play a lot of hard rock type...

    Artist V Pickups

    I posted a few questions about the Artist V pickups in the 85/15, 57/08. 59/09 thread, but I'm not sure it's the best place for it, seeing as the question involves a pickup not listed in the thread title. So I'm going to try this again. I'm seeking opinions on the Artist V pickups. I've...

    Wiring Help! SD 4-Conductor in a SE Custom 24

    Hi all, New to the forum and new to doing work myself, but I'll be damned if I don't try to learn how to take care of my own instrument. I'm decent with a soldering iron, so why not replace my own pickups? The issue is, I can't seem to find any wiring diagrams for putting in my 4-conductor SD...

    Pickup height maxed out

    Hey, I recently put some Seymour Duncan pickups in my CU24 along with new PRS black pickup rings. My problem is that I can't adjust my pickups to the height I want them. When they get to a certain height there is strain on the pickup rings and they begin to bend (Pics attached). I'm new to...

    Dragon I vs Dragon II Pickups

    I've only found 2 videos of people demoing the Dragon I pickups and the audio was recorded with the built-in microphone in an old cellphone camera. What are the differences between the Dragons and Dragon IIs? Which one's are darker? Which one's are higher output? I play Rock, Hard Rock and...
