I've been wondering, how are the latest PRS coil splits? I've tried using coil splitting before (with non-PRS guitars) and was never too excited about the sound.

I don't know if this will be helpful or not but here is what they do on a 408 type guitar:

The 408 has volume, tone, and a 3-way blade switch with the addition of 2 mini-toggle switches (down = humbucking, up = single coil). When the single coil mode is engaged, the screw coil is disconnected and approximately 1500 turns are added to the slug coil so there is virtually no volume loss when you go from humbuckers to single coils.
The perfect solution! Highly recommended.The DGT and 58/15LTs have some of the best splits I've heard, a critical part of that being the resistor-tap employed on the circuit. Instead of dumping an entire coil (mostly the reason why straight splits sound anemic), putting a resistor to ground on the tapped part of the switch allows you to control the frequencies of the tapped coil that are dumped to ground. I put them on my guitars when I redo the electronics and they sound phenomenal.
The TCI pickups on the 35th anniversary SE in split mode are really nice.
Better than most others I have tried in the past from other brands.
Certainly nicer to me than my 2016 Gibson Les Paul standard with split coils.

I'll let you all know.
