2013 PRS SC 245 with 57/08 TM Pickups

[deakle]

Hey guys! I have an option on a 2013 PRS SC 245 core with the 57/08 TM pickups. Any thoughts on this one? It's a great price! I like the original 57/08 non TM pickups but have not heard these "newer" versions. Anybody with thoughts/opinions please chime in. I am trying to make up my mind. Thanks!

Don't take too long, I'd love a 245 with 57/08's. Fahk..... I'd love just about any PRS with 57/08's.

I have some un-etched in my “ Sunburst 22” and I also had a “Stripped 58” with etched...didn’t notice much difference, except for body mass in the SC’s favor. GO for IT!

I have one of these and it's freakin awesome -
You won't regret it!

The only thing to get used to is the control layout (assuming you're used to the les Paul/594 style), but it's pretty quick to figure it out.

This is my "2013 PRS SC 245 with 57/08 TM Pickups". Sounds great, plays great, is great.

Love the color! Did you remove the pickup covers? If so, how do you do that? I prefer the open coil look.

Hey,
I got it second hand, but as it's an artist model the original owner I think ordered it like this.
There are some threads here about removing covers of pickups you might find.

I'll find the threads while you buy a sc245

If these are “curve-buckers”, then they do not have covers.

I may be wrong, but I believe the “curve-buckers” are shaped to match the fret board radius and there are no covers on them because if this.

And you are correct, Alnus.

Phew! I was waiting to be descended upon!

“TM” simply means trademark. They’re not different pickups.
