I think you could install a Miracle Man set for the PRS - its the tightest pickup (and heaviest!) i've ever played and the cleans you get (especially from the neck) are actually really nice!


i heard the cleans were not that great on the MM.


+1 for the miracle man

the clean tone isn't great compared to the alnico BK pickups, but it's better than any other ceramic pickup i've played (except the bill lawrence usa l500xl)

it doesn't distort, so it's fine, just not as detailed as a holy diver, for example
with the holy diver i can play clean even on distorted channels with the boost pedal turned on, only by rolling off the volume knob
with the miracle man, i have to turn off the boost, but the pickup by itself is clean





Yeah the clean sound on the ceramic (bridge) MM isn't great but i don't really use the bridge for cleans... The neck an Alnico pickup

Doesn't the 5 way selector switch on custom 24s annoy you? I would get it change to a 3 way toggle if i got a 24 (which i'm considering getting/modding!)


yeah it is kind of annoying, but i got scared off changing to a 3way toggle when i read that you have to make the hole bigger to fit one in, knowing my luck i would make it too big and stuff it up

Pigs in a PRS seems to be an "opposites attract" situation, at least for me. Looks cool, and I'd love to see more pics. Afterall, "more pics" rhymes with "Warpigs".
