Finally upgraded my PRS SE Fredrik Akesson

[Sneeks]

I booked my guitar into a local guitar tech last week and went to collect it today. I have had the following modifications done:

Original wiring replaced with CTS 500k audio taper pots and orange drop caps.
Vintage 50s wiring and volume and tone now in LP configuration.
Pickups replaced with Seymour Duncan APH-2 Slash Zebra pickups.
Plastic nut replaced with a bone nut.
Schaller strap locks fitted.
Guitar already had Schaller locking tuners fitted when I purchased it.

Only used it for a brief period today but so far I am loving the new tone it is producing.

Dig it! The bone nut goes really well with the zebra bobbins, excellent modding!

Cool! Good call on the slash set, would love to hear it!

Zebras really pop on some, and that is one of them!!!

Thanks for all of the comments, loving the guitar even more now with the upgrades. So much more depth to the tone compared to the standard pickups. The bone nut looks great, I wasn't sure if it would look good or not but I had a huge grin on my face when I saw it fitted. It's certainly a huge improvement over the plastic nut.
