S2 McCarty 594 Pickups

[TonyG]

I’ve been looking at the S2 McCarty 594 quite closely of late (probably because it’s been more than a year since my last acquisition ). I notice the pickup spec is for 58/15s. Am I right in assuming these are the same pickups as on the SE Hollowbody and not a low turn s version to replicate the pickups in the core model. Also is my understanding correct that 58/15s are in effect the same spec as 85/15s but with covers?
Not going to stop the inevitable all consuming GAS, but interested to know

S2 594 uses SE pickups and Volume pots, hence the S.

S2 594 Tone pots are Core grade.

Thanks for the response. I realised there’s the “quality” difference between SE/S2 and core, I was trying to understand if the S2 pickups were low turn (same output) as in the core models.

and the tonal difference between Core pickups and SE/S2 pickups will be 10x of the core pots and s2 pots.

that's one of prs's greatest marketing strategies. want the best pickups? core only!

I appreciate there is a difference between the core and SE/S2 pickups and I’m happy with that compromise. What I was trying to find out is if the 58/15s are low turn (lower output) pickups to replicate those in the core 594 or are they just bog standard 85/15s with a cover.
