What magnets are in 58/15LT pickups?

[Lkdog]

I did a few searches and nothing came up.
Sorry if this has been covered.
Only thing I can find is they run in the mid 7's for ohms, and are lightly potted.

I have a used PRS 594 Singlecut with newer TCI tuned specs coming this week.
Am really interested to see and hear how it compares to the many Les Paul historics I have had.

Any info is appreciated.

I’d guess A2 & A4

A2's, Early Gibson re-issues were using A2's also, now they have a custom bucker with A3

Why ponder? They all have their pluses and minuses…

Thanks.
Has PRS confirmed they use A2s?
I read some posts in searches that they were not divulging that info.

I have had well over a dozen LP historics.
They have had various pickups including 57 classics, BBs, Custombuckers from Gibson and aftermarket ones from all the usual suspects like Wizz, OX4, Throbak, SD, etc.

I was just curious as to what PRS chose to use in their ongoing effort to build a better Les Paul.

Will report my impressions of the 594 this week.

Historically they have used A2 a lot and for many many years. A few necks had A4 (McCarty & dragon 1).

Got the 594 and it is very nice singlecut LP style guitar.
The pickups are interesting. Both read out at 8.08 ohms.
The bridge pickup sounds like a SD Antiquity which is A2.
The neck pickup has its own thing going.
The guitar has a little more clarity than a Les Paul historic on low end. Very similar otherwise.
