I still need to solder the pickups in, string it up, and do a final set-up...but, here is the finished product!!! I'm loving it as much as the McRibs I ate for dinner, lol!
I am debating blocking the Floyd since I don't really use them anymore, but I do miss having a Floyd - I used to be pretty skilled with my whammy...

Keep the Floyd unblocked. You have other guitars that don't have terms. Let this one have done fun!

Thanks guys!!! Yeah, I am SUPER stoked about it. I was really bummed after dropping the $2500 on it and having it be so dark and dead looking. It was hard to tell in the pictures, but EVERYTHING on the guitar was satin - everything. If I had seen it in a store I would have 100% passed. But it played really well and the tone was good. Shoot, I would have kept using the DW Tomahawk pickups if they weren't flat black. They sound good. I figure I'll sell them because they are pretty pricey pickups and I'll never use them. Get some of my money back, you know?
This has the 4 conductor 57/08s hooked to the 5-way. I'll just use PRS' schematic for the CU22. But having the 57/08 mixed with a Floyd will be interesting. The Floyd bridge tends to thin out the sound of a guitar, and the 57/08 is such a balanced pickup already - I am excited to see how the Floyd changes my beloved 57/08s. Doesn't PRS usually put \m/ pickups in the FR guitars?

(Quiet.... it has one of them FR things on it. You don’t want people knowing you like those, or they’ll think you in league with the DTR guy).
