PRS SC 245

[rocker]

Just bought one with W/T neck, should be here next week.Would like another finish but I wanted the thin neck so... Any bridge pickup suggestion???

It seems that we are waiting our PRS Singlecut
I buyed a 2002 Non Tremolo Black SC for a killer price in U.S. one week ago, should be here by Friday.
For me it's the first PRS, and it seems that a lot of people really like the stock pickups, I will try them, and If they don't satisfy me, I am oriented to take the Barecknuckle Holy Diver for the Bridge (similar to a JB)

What pick ups are in it? PRS is suppose to have some cool vintage pups for the 245. If they dont sound good at first, I would change the Tone knobs out. On my CU24 the tone went from Very Bright to Very Muddy in a fraction of a mm. Had to find the sweet spot on the knob which is a pain. I am curious if the 245 and 250 is like that since it has more of an LP wiring.

I have been looking for the SC245 or 250 with a W/T neck also.

Sweet looking PRS sir! Happy NGD!

PRS is one guitar I've never owned so can't really give my $0.02 on pickup choices. Either way-congrats on the NGD, that top looks gorgeous!

I have a GREAT 245; threw some WCR Godwoods in there, and it got even better

The stock PRS PU's are great man. No need to change a thing. Not too gainy and thin. The Custom 24 I got a couple months ago is nice and I wouldn't think of changing them.

Josh, do they sound thicker with the Godwoods?

Yeah, maybe I'll keep the stock ones.

If yours came with HFS/VB, then I'd agree to an extent: they're not bad pickups at all. However, I swapped these out for BKPs and the difference is phenomenal.

PRS's are a bit picky with pickups, though, so if you do go BKP I'd recommend Nailbombs, Cold Sweats, VH II's, or possibly Painkillers: but nothing too middy.
