Re: My guitar with some beautiful SD's
PRS guitars are a good test bed for Duncans. The Custom/Jazz is a great rock/metal set. Too many players go for pickups marketed for metal, but guys who know tone know that the set you picked will sound bigger. When pickups are hotter, they become compressed or smaller sounding.

Re: My guitar with some beautiful SD's
PRS has a pretty damn confident statement, full of swagger, on their website that unequivocally states that the manufacturing tolerances, everything from how and where they age the wood, to where they locate each bridge, are so damn tight that a bridge with adjustable intonation is not necessary.
It pretty much says "it's intonated properly."
I have one, and I gotta say, they're right. It is.

Yeah, I read that too. I'm planning on heading to a shop today to try a few out for kicks. This is the same GC that has an American Deluxe Strat that has been haunting me for the last several years. I don't understand why it's still there (was last time I was in there). There's nothing wrong with it and one of the best on the wall. Anyways, I'll come back with a little feedback on my findings.

Get a cover on that bridge PU. If you need a couple bucks, let me know.

Looks cool, although, in direct opposition to Blueman, I'd take the cover OFF the neck pup.

Just the angle the pickup is at. If he adjusts the treble side higher they'll line up. Standard spaced would be even farther off.

From what I can see, the pickup isn't at an angle at all, same height all the way across. The measurement of the high E to low E on that guitar will depend on how far off standard spaced will be. My gut tells me it will line up better.

I did my research...Someone also showed a pic with a standard and it was way off...It looks much better with the trem
