Is PRS using fixed version of the Spin a split?

I think it's impossible to define a single pickup as a favorite. Or it is impossible to state what is the best among all the others. Each of us will indicate what he likes the most, taking into account different variables, such as the guitar, the effect chain, the strings, the amplifier. It's subjective and temporary. At the moment my favorite is the black winter neck. Tomorrow who knows?

Just looked it up, and PRS splits to a resistor, so some of the grounded coil stays active. So, yes, it’s a fixed spin a split.“I can play the hell out of a riff. The rest of it’s all bulls**t anyway,” Gary Holt

PRS often uses 1.1K for the neck pickup, and 2.2K for the bridge.
These values are great for most vintage-output humbuckers.

My band mate shot a Starfield Special (Ibanez Custom Shop USA, Suhr neck pup with 7.5k), which had 1k. This was much too brite, thin and of low volume. We settled with 5k at last.I get the feeling the A8 will blow your skirt up more so - Edgecrusher
