Sooo... this is what happened after my latest left turn on the journey to guitar pickup guitar tone awesomeness.
Since my last post, I acquired the Abraxas set as well as a ThroBak set ... in addition to a Tom Holmes set... in addition to a Dragon I set.
I know. I know. Too many pickups, not enough guitars. I might have a problem.
Abraxas set goes to a Les Paul. ThroBak set goes to another Les Paul. Tom Holmes PAF set gets the backup award for a vintagey Les Paul. That takes care of all of the Les Pauls.
So far, these are the PRS combinations I have (which I like):
McCarty with Brazzy neck/board, 58/15LT neck, 85/15 bridge.
This combo is awesome.
McCarty Korina with Korina neck/ Brazzy board, covered 53/10 neck and bridge.
This combo is the awesome-est.
Custom 24 with IRW neck / Brazzy board,
BK pickups (ceramic bridge)
This combo could be awesom-er...
The McCartys love the pickups listed above and I’ve tried other non-PRS pickups in them but they seem to favor the PRS pickups. It’s weird.
As for the Custom 24, I’m thinking about putting the Dragon I’s in there. Good idea? Bad idea? Anybody put ‘old PRS pups’ in a new PRS guitar?
