I started going down the PRS rabbit hole around a year ago. It all started with that damn DGT SE. It blew me away. One thing led to another and I got a core DGT, and then another. Then I got a Studio. Do you see the problem? I‘ve noticed that most of my playing time with the DGTs is in split coil mode. I like how I can switch between humbucker and split coil mode with little change in volume. I love the sound and clarity of the narrowfield pickups on the Studio.
Now I’m intrigued by the 408 pickups on the Paul‘s guitar. I understand that unlike the DGT, the Paul’s guitar pickups are truly single coils when split and still don’t have much volume loss In single coil mode. From what I understand, with the Paul’s guitar pickups another 1500 turns of wire become active when in single coil mode which is why there isn’t noticeable volume loss.
Supposedly, the one piece stoptail bridge is good at retaining energy from the strings and helping with the resonance of the guitar?
I’m interested to hear from any of you who’ve tried the Paul’s guitar? How does it compare / contrast with your other guitars?
