...There’s kind of an inherent sh!ttyness to the pickups that I’m really enjoying...
...and for chump change!
The price of old “gold foil” pickups, and the new retro stuff, has skyrocketed.
Years ago I “helped” a friend by replacing the crummy pickups on his “Refrigerator” head Kay with decent humbuckers. I threw away the stock pu’s.
He may be cursing my name every day, now.
The armcut flat SE body is one of the most comfortable guitars I’ve ever played, hands down.No bag, no bar, no big deal.
Here’s that SE EG I won on eBay. Incredibly clean for an almost... uhh... I really have no idea how old it is. The serial starts with an F, so 2006? Whatever.
It’s fun, I like these old first gen SE’s for the big necks and relatively stripped down feature set, and find them comfortable to play. The pickups and hardware are nothing mind blowing but... hey, $350 shipped and at least it’s not a Strat.
.... well, it kinda is. I might buy a new pick guard so I can move the volume knob to more of a DC3 positioning but other than that, I’m gonna rape my parts drawer for everything else.
And honestly, it doesn’t sound any better or worse than any of the other S-type guitars PRS made before the SS so...
Hooray for me.

As long as you don’t get death threats, you should be OK.
If I’m not getting death threats, imma no get respeck Mang!
I thrive on adrenaline.
I’ll have to guess that throwing out old pickups is quite an adrenaline high.
If you think you can handle the rush, I have a bunch of old studio gear in my storage room that probably could get tossed out. My wife would thank you.
Where’s the adrenaline in that?
You could at least scowl threateningly at me while you file your nails during the bonfire...
