I consider myself lucky enough to own 3 PRS guitars, 2 SE's and and S2 . All are quality pieces, beautiful, great feeling and all beyond my meager capabilities .
But that does not stop me from lusting after more PRS goodness. I do not have any first hand experience with US made pickups, as they only seem to come in guitars that cost north of $2K. ...
So upon telling another guy how to spend his money ... I started looking at the CE line. The CE Semi Hollow to be specific.... It's kinda hollow (like the SE Hollowbody I am lusting for) Has the neck carve of my S2 (Pattern Thin) which I love in my S2 Thinline . and then, there are the Amurrican pickups. 85/15's no "S"
Now, the 85/15S seems to be the pickup, everyone loves to hate. I myself have replaced one set, (but I'm still holding on to the other, although aware of what I feel are its weaknesses)
So finally the Question (s) ... Has anyone using US Made 85/15's changed the stock Volume Pot which has a value of 500K (I'm assuming this, as I have not pulled one) ... for a 250K Pot to darken it a bit ?
See I'm thinking the 85/15 is articulate, clear, transparent ... but a tad "bright". I'm wondering if it might be more "mellow", with a lower value volume pot ?
