The Pickups You Have ALWAYS wished your Paul Reed Smith Guitar (PRS) Had!

Over the years, I have probably replaced the pickups in more Paul Reed Smith (and PRS) guitars than any other "good" brand.  These guitars ROCK!  Paul knows his wood like no one else on the planet, the problem has always been in the pickups. 

 

Does your Paul Reed Smith guitar suffer from any of the following?

  • Sterile, lifeless, clinical tone.

  • A terribly thin tone when split into single-coil.

  • Overly bassy/covered tone that just has no bite/cut ... or ...

  • Inversely, a thin, wimpy tone that has no lower-midrange growl and girth.

My tone-friends, this humbucker set is your answer, specifically designed to make sure NONE of the above happens!

buy the ultimate PRS HumbuckeR SET Now!

My PERSONAL Holy-grail humbucker set! Tweaked specifically for Paul Reed Smith / PRS guitars and employing AlNiCo V magnets, this set remains true to the vintage PAF tone, but has just a touch more hair and splits into single coil in a most extraordinary manner! Proprietary unbalanced coil winds lead to true PAF Nirvana … and exceptional single-coil abilities as well. Available uncovered or covered, the set is wound and calibrated specifically to excel in the bridge & neck positions respectively. 4-wire with separate ground for unlimited possibilities: Humbucker, Single Coil, parallel coils, series coils, it's all there ... and all sounds impeccable.

This is the set for you if you need both great PAF humbucker tone and remarkable single-coil tone.

(BTW: "Reverse Zebra" has a cream screw-side and black slug-side :-)

• Precise calibration for optimum performance in bridge and Neck positions
