Pick Ups

Zebede · 10 May 2007 at 19:23

As the search function is disabled at the moment I was wondering if anyone had some advice on a decent bridge pick up for a PRS?

I've heard many a good thing about Bare Knuckle pick ups but I was also recommended Seymour Duncan by a friend of mine.

What's hot in the world of guitars at the moment pick up wise?

What PRS is it, and what sound are you looking for?

I have the PRS HFS as the bridge pickup in my CE24. This is the standard bridge pickup on all PRS' with 24 frets (not counting the SE ones). Personally, i love it. I have DiMarzio Evos, and a Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB as the bridge pickups in my other guitars, and the PRS one is far more versatile. The Evos are too mushy, and the JB is too trebbly for my tastes.

Mine's the PRS SE Standard so I don't believe it has the HSF pick ups. I mainly play metal/hard rock so i'm looking for a bright, agressive tone.

I've got a Epi Les Paul with 2 Seymour Duncan Invaders. Bright and aggressive, just what you want.
Nice looking pickups too.

I heard about massive ammounts of hum and feedback with them because they are so high output

Bareknuckle pickups are good indeed, they're going from strength to strength.

I'd suggest going for either a Nailbomb or Miracle man

Either will absolutely pwn for hard rock/metal.

I just got a pair of DiMarzio Breeds and I must say they are perfect. Amazingly clear tone with great sustain and great power. I'm very happy with them!
