Question about pickup options in early Custom 24s (pre 1992)

[jcolmn]

I've been looking at a few of these and have noticed that some are claiming to have Dragon 1 pickups in them. I have no reason to doubt that they are in there now, but does anyone know if this was an option on a 24 fret guitar? What year did Dragon pickups come out?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I thought pre92 Cust24 would have T&B pups or HFS & Vintage Bass pups. I bet Garret knows, shoot him a PM if he doesn’t see this thread. Not to say Dragon 1 pups weren’t available, just not standard. I’ll post a video from the 90’s showing PRS 1990’s factory which shows options.

My 91 has HFS&VB. No options available AFAIK at that time.

Not true. I have a Vintage Hot Treble in the bridge of my '91 CU24 (VB neck pup). This guitar is loaded as well. 10 Top, birds, and gold hardware. It was ordered and specced out.
