Hi,
could you give a couple of tone examples, on what you're trying to achieve?
I have read more about pairing the PK with alder than CS. I own the CS, but not the PK.
But, based on clips, the PK has more mids, perhaps a little less highs. CS has a pretty balanced midrange, it doesn't really emphasize it. CS is bright. I'd say CS has more bottom, and is more 'vintagey' than the PK.
From those two, I'd pick the PK. Neck-wise, they're different, at least spec-wise. I guess they'd both work, but CS neck is wonderful for shredding; it doesn't get muddy, has a tight attack and it sings.
But, give a few tone examples; maybe the ceramic route is not the best option afterall. Alder+maple+rosewood is not the loosest/muddies combination usually, though not the brightest either.
