PRS Core Mira pickup & wiring questions

[lchender]

Hi There,

I own a 2008 PRS Core Mira and I have a few questions regarding the pickups and pickup wiring that I'm hoping a forum member with more knowledge than I might be able to answer.

I've heard that the core Mira pickups were an uncovered version of the SC245 pickups, but have been unable to find any information to confirm. I believe the core Mira pickups are 2-wire pickups?

What I would like to do is to make the middle position hum-cancelling when the coil split is activated. From what I understand, this may be possible by flipping the magnet on one of the pickups and I had read that this is part of how the hum-cancelling positions are obtained on older PRS guitars with the 5-way rotary pickup selector.

I was wondering if flipping the magnet on one of the pickups on my Mira would make the middle position hum cancelling in coil-split mode? Also, does it matter which magnet is flipped (i.e., bridge or neck pickup)?

Thanks!

Just a little of topic but could anyone tell me what model pickups were used in the 2007 Mira? Thanks

The hang tag has them listed as "Mira" for both bridge and neck.

Yes, I have the hang tag and it also just says Mira for the pickups. I'm hoping to get a an official description of them though. The bass pickup reads 8.76 and the treble is 9.53 and those readings are basically the 245 specs.

Yeah, I remember hearing/reading here that the Mira were basically uncovered 245 pickups. I don't recall anyone actually verifying that. See post #6 in this thread. Based on your numbers I would agree that they are 245. A couple of posts later someone posted something from Shawn@PRS who said that the #6 pickups were essentially uncovered Dragon IIs.

Yes, Mira pickups are uncovered 245, but called Mira. PRS does this a lot with various pickups over the years. The same or small tweaks.
