I have these pickups in my '21 PRS S2 McCarty 594. They sound terrible! Very muddy. On coil split the volume drops of about 50%. I see the pots and pickups are made in Korea. Seriously? Very disappointed. This guitar is not inexpensive. Supposed to be a "USA" guitar.
I also noticed a bare ground wire in the bridge pickup cavity not soldered to anything. It looks as if it could possibly touch the pickup when the pickup is installed. Seems odd. Any thoughts?
Is there a place on the PRS website that explains the differences in all their pickups?
Anyway, I'm looking to replace the pickups. Anyone have replacements they used that they really like that are NOT muddy? So far I'm looking at SD Pearly Gates, SD Whole Lotta Humbuckers, and Vaughn Skow "Ultimate PRS Humbucker Set." TIA
