57/08s in a CE24?

[Em7]

Does anyone have 57/08s in a CE24? The 85/15s in my 2019 CE24 are not cutting it. I love the overtones I get with the 57/08s I have in my Mira Korina and my MC58. The 57/08 neck pickup has the breathiness of a single with the power of a humbucker. The 57/08 Treble pickup has balls without being plucky or overly bright when played clean. In a nutshell, 57/08s are like single coils on steroids without the hum. They have clarity combined with balls.

I put 57/08s in my Dustie Waring CE24. It made the guitar much more refined. I find every guitar is better with 57/08s.

Been lookin’ for some four conductor ones for my 93. Don’t see how it couldn’t be incredible.

Thinking about swapping my 57/08 & 59/09 combo from my CU24 into my CE24

Old thread--but has anyone put 57/08 or 59/09's in a CE24?

I’ve done both. While I like the 85/15 set in my Custom 22, I found them way too shrill/bright in the two CE24s that I’ve owned - likely due to the maple bolt on neck. Either will give you more warmth and lose the shrillness in line with other PAF-inspired pickups. The 59/09 will give a bit more gain, but similar tone. I chose the 59/09 set over the 57/08 for the reclaimed CE24 to maintain the look of the uncovered squabbins

59/09’s in my avatar CE24, also have them in a CU24 and CU24-08. Hands down my fav PRS pickup for a 24 fretter!
