Re: PRS SE Custom 24 with PATB1 abd PATB3?
PATB-1n, right? These are great pickups, often overlooked I think because of the unusual cosmetics. I have the 1n and the 3 in a Floydcaster and I just love 'em. Especially if your Custom24 is a little on the bright side, these will fill it out a lot and warm it up a little. The only possible snag I see is that the PATB3 does have strong mids, and some of the SEs can be quite midrangey in character. With the placement on a 24 fret guitar, the PATB-1n ought to do very well for you. I like to get to know a guitar pretty well before choosing a bridge pickup, but you'd hear it right away if yours is one of the mid-heavy ones. As I said, I do love the PATB-3. It's a great sounding pickup- in my Strat, good balance of crisp and fat with a voicelike lead tone. Kinda liquid under gain. And trem spacing should be no problem- I always believed these were all trembuckers; it's in the name after all...
