I noticed on the core Paul’s Guitar the slug poles are closest to the neck, wondering if anyone rotated their neck pup on the SE and the results ? Thinking of trying it this weekend. Might enhanced the isolated single coil tone, maybe ?

I’ve also noticed, to get the best tone, those SE TCI pups need to be set higher than the factory spec. I’ve got mine a good 1 to 2 32nds higher. Those notes just “ pop”.

“As we plug in the SE, that old-style PRS feeling continues. There’s quite a contrast between the humbucking and single-coil voices, the latter having a crisp high-end, especially in the neck position compared with our reference Strats.
Then we realise that the neck pickup is placed conventionally with the screw coils facing the neck, unlike the USA version. Reversing it takes minutes and while the world didn’t change, it does add a couple of per cent: for a very un-Strat-like build, we’re hearing a pretty good, clean and present single coil with plenty of woody chop.”
