First, I love both those builds you have.
PRS appears to be super picky about what things they’ll entertain. It also seems to be based on year you order. Based on the model. And based on the dealer and their relationship with PRS
For example some dealers say PRS will not allow them to order direct pickups because it isn’t on the order sheet. But another dealer got it for me the next day.
PRS also used to offer stainless frets and different radiuses on their models. But when I asked the private stock team in person at the factory if they could do stainless and a different radius for the 3 builds I was there to do I got a flat and immediate no. My holcombs were ordered with direct pickups but they messaged me after I submitted my spec sheets and said they won’t build that model with DM pickups anymore at all. It almost feels random honestly.
Forgot to answer the last part. Besides the Dm pickups it was standard hardware but just in black. No modified layout. But PRS was willing to do insane options like the zombie board or fill a whole neck in luminlay…but not do a custom 24 in 20” radius like a Holcomb. They also wouldn’t let me do PRS \m/ pickups on the Holcomb model. I assume due to an artist contract but still found that funny. They won’t do a 20” custom 24 but would build a 7 string multi scale with a 16” radius…just weird randomness. They also wouldn’t build a custom 22 for years even in PS. No idea why. I think they’re back now though.
