Oh! Does covered vs uncovered make such a big difference?
FWIW, I put nickel covers on my SE245 'buckers (in a Z Myers SE) and it took some of the treble slice off both pickups - exactly what I was hoping for.

Look a few posts back…..he realized he mis-posted. He meant that the 85/15's and 58/15's are the same except for the cover.
I remember when I made a mistake once too, but it was long, long ago…. ; - )
On another note.... I have practically two of the same guitar. How many of the same model do you have?
I've decided I'm being silly.
My orange Cu24 with 57/08s is amazing - fave guitar.
My purple with 59/09s is still great. They're a little hotter and I DO prefer the 85/15s (the guitar I tried in the shop was on par if not better than the orange one) BUT it's not worth selling the purple one for a big loss and then whacking more cash on top for that new model.
A bummer, but hey.

So why don't they make the 53/10s any more? Just curious.
I don't think I have 53/10s in anything.
we both felt they were more on the aggressive side. needed to roll back the volume to get them sounding the way he wanted. Still try nice compared to tother brands.What were your/his thoughts on the 59/09s?
I have them but prefer my 57/08s.
Still, all really good pups, right?
this is also my understanding. too bad I would get a set in my hbII in a heart beat.Materials no longer available, according to PRS.
I'd love to hear demo's of these, one by one. I have the 57/08s and 59/09s.
59/09s have, I think, more treble and can be a bit more cutting and less "wooly." I prefer the 57/08s, I must say. Both great, though. Would love to hear a like-for-like comparison but haven't seen anything like that on youtube. Going a step further, why not a full pickup comparison on the website? Throw in HFS etc...

5909's are great pickups. I haven't read the whole thread but you could raise the screws for each individual string if you want a little more bite out of them. That should bring out a little more high end. Start by raising them all a 1/2 turn and see what happens. If it helps but the pickups feel a too hot, lower the overall height a little.What were your/his thoughts on the 59/09s?
