Re: Pickups for a PRS CU22
I also own a Custom 22 and struggled with the DII's for the same reasons as you. I replaced them with a Duncan JB in the bridge and a Jazz in the neck. Lew who I purchased the JB from flipped the magnet for me so I could use it with the PRS 5-way rotary. This may not be the last pickup combo in this guitar, but its light years better than the DII's in my opinion. Others have reported that the WCR Fillmore pickups sound great in this guitar, as does the Rio Grande BBQ.

Re: Pickups for a PRS CU22
I had a C-5 and a 59 in my CU24 and that set worked well but I think I'd suggest a CC and a PGn as they are a bit warmer and rounder sounding.
For a higher output guitar I'd suggest a Dime and a 59n. I've installed that pair in a few PRS guitars and the customers were floored.
