S2 Pickup Pole Screws

[MarcWink]

Does anyone know what the thread size/pitch is for the pickup pole screws on the S2's 58/15 S puickups? I'm in the process of converting to full hybrid hardware on my S2 594 McCarty and I've decided to leave the 58/15 S pickups rather than change out for the 58/15 LT's that I picked up from Reverb since the latter are only single conductor pickups and I'd lose the ability to split them.

I don't know, but you could take one out and your local hardware store might have a thread identifier in the nuts and bolts section. The Ace just up the street from me has one. It's most likely metric given it's made overseas.

You sure? I wasn’t aware PRS made any 58/15LT’s without splitting.

Pretty sure they're single conductor; it definitely looks like they're rocking some Gibson style shielded pushback wire for the leads.

Now I'm curious, I have been trolling Reverb for a few days since getting my 58/15 Pickups and it seems all of them have the single conductor looking lead and a single white wire off of it. Am I going crazy?

 

[John Beef]

That's correct. The white wire is for splitting. A lot of PRS pickups in a vintagey flavor are like that (DGT, McCarty, etc)
