I just purchased a set of OX4 low winds to replace the Dragon I's in my '97 CE 22. Does anyone have any experience with OX4s in a PRS? I'm really looking forward to the open airy sound of unpotted humbuckers. The Dragons sound good but not the tone I'm looking for...
Looked that UK pickup maker up online. Looks like a nice paf style pickup.
What magnet did you choose? Alnico 2, 3, 4 or 5?
I tend to like alnico 2, but have some paf style pickups with alnico 4 too.
I love those original Dragon pickups and the neck pickup has some similarities with a alnico 4 paf.
The bridge Dragon is NOT vintage but sounds fabulous for overdriven, saturated rock tones. Santana, Gary Moore, Steve Vai, Eric Johnson,
Great for those soring, melodic, anthem type rock solos.
I have the Dragons and the original rotary switches in a pair CE-22's.
But I swapped the Dragons in my '95 CU-22 for something different: Duncan Antiquitys. Alnico 2. Vintage 50's tone.
I like the clearer, lower output. It's a more transparent vintage tone but it still rocks, and still like to hear that sound.
I have the Dragon pickups and rotator switch in the case.
You really need two guitars. One with Dragon 1's and one with pafs.
