Anybody can recommend me a Seymour Duncans pickup which has the middly rudeness of a PRS HFS?

I cant think of any Duncans that sound that bad. JB's have a pretty strong and, depending on amp EQ, aggressive midrange.

Re: Duncans equivalent of a PRS HFS?
I just didnt get along with it what so ever!!!! I actually thought it was the worst sounding pickup I have ever played!!!!!! No Joke!!!! :smack:
A bucker to put with a Jazz, take you pick. About any of Duncans bridge buckers will be fine with one!!!
Why do people say it sounds good???????? Hell, I dont know!!!!!! I think its all hype myself! :smack:TRESSLE said:

I have heard people say in the past that Duncans pickup that comes closest to the HFS is the Custom??? I have no clue though!

No way, the Custom is the closest thing to the HFS. I changed the HFS to a Custom in my CU24 and the tone while slightly more open in the mids was very simular.
When I mentioned to Evan that I had made this swap he even stated that I didn't go far. (paraphrase}

:laugh2: That's exactly what I thought when I read the title of this thread.
Lov the guy's guitars but Paul's pickups are just...harsh and brittle IME.
Custom *is* pretty close, but a bit warmer and fuller to my ears. I'd go with something a bit softer in a Reed...CC, Seth, Alnico Pro.

NOPE. the HFS is not as "boomy" on the low end like the Custom... it doesn't have the Custom's top-end sizzle as well. compared to the Custom, the HFS are warmer, and the harmonics are more present. both are middy and very aggressive, just different characteristics.

Read post #12. I now do think that the Custom comes the "closest" in Duncans line. This came from Evan Skopp bro!
