Thanks! I enjoy taking pictures.
I did not mod the Singlecut. I have to admit part of the reason I went over to PRS guitars was because I am really pleased with how they sound "out of the box". In fact, it was the S2 guitars with #7 pickups that I fell in love with before getting any Core guitars. With the pots being mounted on the pickguard, give swapping the caps a shot - it should be easy enough.
I will say that I noticed you mentioned the SD SNS pickups in another thread. I have a pair of those in an Artist Package SC250. They are nice, but not too different than the #7s. A little darker, but within the ballpark.
I will also admit that I know nothing about how caps affect the tone. I'm a simple type of player - the guitar needs to do the "job" I want, and interact with the amp in a pleasing way. I consider my guitar and amp ONE instrument. It's funny, actually, because I played Rivera amps for a little over 25 years. PRS and the M/S series Rivera amps DO NOT get along. Every PRS I tried during that time was gone quicker than you can say tuna fish sandwich. Once I switched my amplification, PRS worked like a charm.
What exactly is it you want the #7s to be? Lower output? Darker? The tone knobs work great, and these pickups are very responsive to height adjustments. I took my S2 CU22 STD and lowered the pickups a half turn, and the whole guitar sonically changed. When I got the S2 SC STD, I figured that I would never get close to a LP sound since the PRS has a big piece of plastic on the front.
It worked, and didn't cost too much more then the S2 SInglecut. Of course I got SUPER lucky on the price and it was used, but this is my number 1 guitar. It eats Les Pauls and poops them out like it's on a hi-fiber diet!!
