JB/59 in a PRS Custom 24?

[JayD.]

I have a JB in the bridge of my Les Paul. Wondering if anyone has tried it in a PRS Custom 24? Also I was thinking about a 59' in the neck. I have a Jazz in the neck of the PRS now. I like the Jazz better than the Alnico Pro 2 but wanted to know what else people are using.

I put a '59n in my PRS singlecut. I needed a 4-con neck pup and SD tech support told me the '59 would be closest to the Dragon II that was in the neck. it's going to be slightly more agressive than the Jazz, but not a huge massive difference that will scorch the hair off your ears. seems to me if you are already using a JB in your LP that you should try it in the PRS.

Thanks. Do you think the 24 frets will change the tone on with the 59'?

compared to what, a Les Paul?'


If that's the case, then the question is will the 59' pick up a different sound.

The answer is yes. But wondering if it sounds better or worse is entirely up to you. 24 fret necks tend to give you a Santana neck sound (which I love personally) where as a 22 fret neck gives you...oh I don't know...everyone else for the most part.

no more than it's affecting the tone of the pickup that's already in there.
