58/15 Pickup question

[DW-Parsons]

Hi,

I have a set of 58/15 pickups that I purchased recently from an individual that swapped them out of 2019 594 SC. I just looked on the back of the pickups, and see:

5815 LT
and
5815 LT "V" BASS

I assume the 5815 LT is the bridge...but what is a 5815 LT "V"?

Thanks!

PRS are very cryptic about their pickup construction and don't provide much information. The 58/15 LTs use Alnicos - that is a fact. If I had to guess the 'V' would indicate an Alnico 5 magnet. They might 'experimented' with that magnet...I haven't seen that one pop-up much.
