Hello, my first post here.
I've owned a PRS SE since 2006, however I'm wanting to upgrade the pickups.
The SE currently has two single coil pickups, one in the neck, one in the middle and a dual humbucker in the bridge. The reason I bought this guitar is that Alex Lifeson, one of my guitar hero, sometimes plays a similar guitar in a live setting.
I've noticed there are some used pickups floating around on ebay, typically dual humbuckers. I was wondering if anyone could make any recommendations on what to look for or avoid. I will say this, I have always been impressed with the sight and sounds of the PRS that were produced in the late 80s/early 90s, so I was wanting to get a pickup from that era.
As for the single coils, I don't think PRS produces anything like this, so I probably would have to go with a different vendor.
thanks
- Chris
