408 Narrow Pickup replacements

[pvdmac]

I have a 2013 Paul’s Guitar with 408 Narrow pickups.

Would it be possible to swap out the 408 Narrow pickups for the latest TCI Treble and Base pickups that now come in the latest Paul’s Guitar (Core) models.

Would it be possible to purchase a set of TCI Treble and Base pickups.

Cheers.

Paul.

It would probably be possible to swap them out, should be a direct replacement, if you can find a set.

If they're not for sale on the PRS Accessory Shop pages, I seriously doubt you can buy them.

However, if there are any differences at all, they'd be very subtle. TCI seems to be more of a consistency thing than a wholesale change in sonic character. Might not even be worth the trouble and expense.

As an example, I didn't notice a difference between the 58/15s that came on one of my McCartys and the later TCI version on the later McCarty.
