Guidance for a PRS Newbie

That looks great. I like the unpainted headstock too.

Some people don't like the dragons. I really do - insofar as they aren't quite like other PRS pickups. They are like PAFs but hotter, airey sort of tone in a good way. Enough mids but not muddy. The bridge pickup in these ce22s really sings with gain but it's not the most chimey thing clean.

The most common complaint I have read is that there is some natural compression with these... i find it very musical. They remind me of modern lace humbuckers in that regard. Sustain for days, lead notes jump out of the guitar

You can always replace them anyway. The rest of the guitar looks very nice. That top will look even nicer in proper light
 
Ce22s are where it's at!!

I had a cu22 with dragon 2s. Through my 5150 cabs they reminded me of 57 classics but through my celestion loaded cabs didn't care for them.

Some people complained about them being muddy, I never had that.
