PRS metal \m/ bridge with 85/15 TCI Neck in Custom 24?

[Poseidon Alexi]

Hey there! Just seeking some advice from those who might know more. I have an se Custom 24 that I have modded and upgraded to hell and back (tuners, nut, bridge and trem block, push/pull 3-way wiring to 5-way... and 85/15s pickups to the limited release 85/15 TCI). It sounds pretty fab but contemplating a change. I have a lone PRS metal bridge pickup that I am considering swapping in. Any opinions on how the combo of an Alnico 2 Neck would sound with the ceramic Metal \m/ in the bridge?

The \m/ pairs very well with the 85/15 neck. Don’t be swayed by the name, the \m/ is a very versatile pickup.

I definitely recommend the combo to people often.

@Bowtiefanatc oh sweet! That’s good to know. Thanks for your suggestion. Right now the Metal pickup is in my PRS Stela paired with a BKP Supermassive HSP90 in the neck, and really don’t like how they sound paired together in the middle position. So, I’ve got a BKP Supermassive HSP90 bridge coming to replace the Metal pickup. You’re confirming my urge to pop it into the custom 24.

Highly recommended. I called it the “modern Dragon 1” pairing. I feel like the 85/15 treble doesn’t have enough punch. The \m/ is a much better pairing I think.

@Bowtiefanatc Most excellent! Thank you much. Now I am getting excited to hear what the combo will sound like.
