I am flirting with buying one of these - really cool looking, less then 7lbs, has the 58/15's which I am curious about, and I don't have a PRS in my collection at the moment. (Although there are quite a few I which I still had). I have been playing a Hamer Vanguard with Lollar P90's I recently aquired, and I rotate in a regular old tele and a strat a lot; but there is something about PRS I keep coming back to, I just really like the vibe, and the fit and finish.
Not that that has anything to do with anything, because my question is just about how the selector works on these. I am thinking position 1 - bridge HB, 2 - bridge HB and neck SC, 3 (middle) - both HB's, 4 - bridge SC and neck HB, 5 - neck HB.
I read somewhere that some PRSi with the 5-way blade and two humbuckers (and no separate coiltap switches) work this way. I had a 90's Cu22, with the Dragon I's (I think), and to this day I don't know exactly what the switch did - it was the knob selector type - but there was a pretty big volume drop on positions 2 and 4. I know some PRSi have that problem solved with the way the coils are tapped, I am hoping this model is one of them.
Tbh, I also really love the NF pickups, which I think are in the Swampash Studio, so I may hold off and look for one of those. And, I am also curious about the 509. But this one looks really nice, and checks the boxes for a double cutaway with a trem and humbuckers.
Ok, that was the really long way of asking a question, thanks for your patience!
