408 vs Pauls guitar

[newfmp3]

2019 408 vs Pauls guitar from 22. I have the Paul's guitar. Is there much of a difference between these two really? Far as I can tell, trem vs stop tail, but are the pickups that much different. I got to say I do love my Paul's guitar.

Just happen to come across a 2019 and ...well you know the rest.

The treble pickups are very different. The 408 is more modern. More ideal for gain. The bass are the same. The bridges are personal preferences.

There 100% is a difference , the 408 bridge is just more of a good thing , that makes the splits more interesting and useful ( IMHO ) and the middle position using both pickups better also.
My Brushstroke 24 ( 24 fret pauls guitar with a trem ) moved on , the 408 is going no place

I feel they should offer the 408 instead of 24-08.
The Paul’s and 408 offer more variety than Paul’s and 24-08.

I see a Pauls guitar with 408's that says it is stock. Is that correct?

The Pauls guitar has a Narrow 408 in the bridge position.
The 408 and the original Signature LTD have the original wider ( and hotter ) 408 pickup in the bridge position , with the narrow 408 in the neck position

In my personal experience, I find the wide field 408 bridge pickup to be one of the best PRS
bridge pickups ever made IMHO!!! Boy do I love my 408!!!!!!!!!!!
