    PRS SE 245 wiring kit

    Hello! I want to upgrade my PRS SE245 with decent caps and pots and I wondered if these would fit. I really appreciate your help, especially about the long shaft vs short shaft variants. I think PRS takes short shafts but I'd love to have confirmation. Regards, G

    Color coding on the CE 24's 85/15 TCI pickups?

    I got a set of these to put on my SE but I can't find any diagrams that tell me what the cables do. I'd assume that black/white/red/green are the same as normal 85/15, but what do I do with the extra orange wire? Looking at a picture the seller sent me of the guts of his guitar, it looks like...
