I had a Gibson Diablo Premium Plus, that had a PCB and small Alpha POTs. It might have been the best Gibson I have owned. And I've owned 4 vintage 60's Gibson's. Although I didn't have any problems with the Diablo, I sold it, and may never buy another Gibson. I don't even know if I would buy a PRS, with mini coil split switches.
My last 3 guitar purchases, were PRS Custom 22's. I like thin bodies, tremolo's and thick necks. I bought a S2 Custom 22 and liked it so much, that I bought a second one. I modified the second CU22 with Porter Vintage Clean pickups. It now sounds like a vintage Gibson. I liked the S2's so much, that I bought a core Custom 22. I now have 3 Custom 22's that play the same, have three different pickups, that not only sound different, but are wired differently.
I'm a big fan of the S2's. I've played a couple of nice Singlecut, McCarty 594's, a core and S2 model. Both were great, but I'm afraid that they would sit in their case, due to lack of a tremolo. At this time, I'm considering another S2 Custom, and wiring it with a 5-way Slide Switch and non-splitable Tone POT, like my core model.
