Welp, I'm a PRS convert now

They're supposed to be the HFS Vintage and HFS Treble unless they've been changed.

Yeah I would give em a shot

I don't like the HFS too much, but I like them more than the dimarzios you'll probably end up replacing them with

The 85/15 "S" models are pretty awesome IME.

Yep the 85/15 was the first time i played a prs with stock pickups and got the "wow! I wouldn't even replace these!"

Say what u will about the finish but i wish i had been able to keep this axe. 85/15's!

I always think PRS does a great job with their blue and fade type finishes

That's a beautiful finish. It reminds me of a time when I was in my Vaan R5 at the 35th parallel of the Pacific Ocean. It was a beautiful, sunny day with some freshly caught fish on the grill and a fine bottle of wine.

That was called Sapphire Fade I think. Man I loved that neck. The wide-thin might be the nicest neck I've ever laid hands on.

Have you played a Fiore?

I freaking hate superstrats, as I'm sure everyone on RT knows

But I played a black fiore that was one of the nicest freaking guitars I have ever played, and i've played a ton of them

Never tried the Fiore. I can’t stand a volume knob that close to the pickup. I’m sure I could move it and just have a hole there and it’ll play great.

I've seen where other people have swapped the rotary to a toggle. If I end up changing pups, I may do that. Maybe I can try a Screamin' Demon again, as I'm a fan these days of medium outputs, though I am a DiMarzio guy at heart.

Very doable. Its McCarty switching. Usually has a push pull tone knob too. PRS sells the prewired harness if you dont want to solder it all yourself.
