Casi, I really like the choices you made on both your McCartys. I conjecture they sound great. I had great luck with BK Mule/Black Dog on my CU22. I liked the Dragon II's, but I thought I'd like the BK combo better, which I did, though the DII's to me had better split sound. With that said, that was the first and only PRS I've ever felt enticed to change pickups. I find PRS pickups to be amazing not only when I'm practicing by myself, but especially in a band context. I've always felt they cut through a band mix with a lot of ease, as they seem to emphasize all the right frequencies. My ear drums are a big fan of PRS pickups as I don't need to play my amp overly loud to be able to hear myself play with a bassist and drummer.
