Question about pickups used in 2011 Studio

[JWhite9584]

I recently purchased a 2011 Studio on Reverb and have a question about the bridge pickups used when this guitar was made. All the photos I have seen show the bridge pickup with a cover but mine does not. Wondering if this could be an aftermarket replacement. The wiring compartment seems consistent with how PRS guitars were wired from the factory.

I appreciate any help.

Look at the back of the pickup

I believe the original bridge pup was a covered 57/08.

Thanks. What exactly am I looking for. Model number?

Yes... any numbers or words.
Could be a different PRS pup, maybe not.
Again, the original was a covered 57/08.

Yep looked at the back of the bridge pickup. It’s definitely a 57/08

They may have just taken the cover off for aesthetic or tonal purposes.

Yes, I can see where the cover had been soldered. Assuming the previous owner took it off.
