Magnet swap in PRS pickup?

[pskorz]

The Norton is really quite interesting. It has all these upper harmonics going on and the frequency spread almost seems to saturate when I play harder. I realize that "saturate" is a loaded term in the world of guitar tone, but I mean it literally here - like the upper frequency harmonics get richer. I'm used to a pup getting dirtier as I boost it, but this one actually seems to evolve. As a result there are probably tons of shades of tone in there based on your attack and your gain levels.

I also have an se 24, and LOVE the stock neck 85/15s. I don’t hate the bridge pickup, but I know there’s something better out there. You used a regular Norton, not the air Norton, correct?

also, what is the split sound like compared to the original stock pickup? My major hesitation in switching the bridge pickup is that I am so enamored with how it splits. Does your new DiMarzio bridge pick up have as good of a single coil sound as the 85/15 S?
