I heard some say the Custom 24 pickups are very mid rangy. I have the McCarthy 594 which has the 85/15 LT and don't find them very mid rangy but more balanced and I love them. I would think the Custom 24 with the 85/15 pickups would sound similar to the 594 pickups but hotter?

Do the 85/15 pickups in the Custom 24 sound that different from the 594 pickups? Are they more mid rangy?

The 2nd question is how different do the TCI pickups sound in the 08 vs the standard Custom 24? My understanding is that have more of a P90 sound where they sound more like a fat single coil. Do these pickups also have a mid range push? If you want heavier breakup, is the standard 24 a better option over the 08 if you are more focused on the humbucking sound?
 
I think the 8515 and 5815LT are pretty different. The 8515 are clear, articulate, and almost hi def like to the point of unforgiving to this hacks playing style. Not a pickup set for me but others are a fan. The LT on the other hand I think are great. The LT neck is probably my favorite PRS pickup. The bridge could use more push, but the middle position is great.
 
Its not only the pickups. Keep in mind that also the bridge contribute largely to the way the guitar sound.
