very nice!

the price of those slightly-more-upmarket se's seems to have come down recently... i remember a while back, £450 was considered a good deal.

Yeah, so do I - paid £440 for mine and thought I was the smartest cookie in the jar. Not feeling so smart now, 99_not_out has saved himself two thirds the price of a Bareknuckle!  :wink:

lol.
Luck rather than good judgement though :) Like I say, I was surprised myself!

Can't decide whether it really needs a BKP either given I'm basically a hobby player ... it has a lovely tone already and I would have to make sure I got the right BKP. Would be nice to coil tap it though, as long as the stock pups are 4 connector.

On that subject, does anyone know the spec for the stock pickups in the PRS SE Singlecut range? Seem fairly low output, might even be Alnico II, but I've never played a guitar with Alnico II before to know what I should be listening for other than a warmer sound.

haha, yeah. problem is, anything reasonably newish out is relatively expensive... wait a while and they come down... of course you have to decide if doing without something for 2 years is worth saving, say, £50...

I found them quite hot. Loved them in the beginning, but the longer I used them they just didn't cut it, too many mids and no good string separation. I mean they weren't bad, just the BKP factor was lacking. The guitar improved minimum 50% with a set of VHIIs.

They are quite middy. I guess my only experience with non-BKPs is with the stock Epiphone pups I've had in my various SGs, and they sucked - so the PRS ones sound great in comparrison to them. And my BKPs are Warpigs, so everything sounds low output to me at the moment  :twisted:

Looks like I'm back to the old "which BKP" quandry ... the only thing I know is that they need to be an open-poled Zebra set.

Waitng for Simon D's report on the Rebel Yells in a PRS too.
