Holydiver set PRS SC245

[dd6094]

Hi, purchased a set of Holydiver BKP's for a Charvel........and then sold the Charvel (sound familiar anyone!!)
Now have a PRS SC245 on the way, will the Holydivers be too dark for this guitar or has anyone had success with them?

They would probably be too dark  for me.

The shorter scale makes the mids more emphasized, and the HDs already have lots of mids, as does the PRS singlecut wood and construction-wise.

BUT, each guitar is an individual. It might suit the guitar, depending of course on what you want from it.

Yeah, the best thing to do is try them when you get the guitar.

I have a Holy Diver set that's been in two Les Pauls - in the first one it was a disaster, but it transformed the second one into one of my favourite guitars.  Some things that you wouldn't have expected to work actually do....

I had a set in a PRS McCarty with a Rosewood Neck.

They sounded great!!!!

the holy diver is not a dark pickup
I only would not recommend it for a Mira, since I hated it in a Gibson SG
but it worked great in my les pauls, including an imbuya topped one, that was a quite dark sounding guitar

I had a set in a PRS SE Singlecut, and they sounded excellent - very well suited to the guitar, and definitely not a dark sound. They should be great in a 245 - 245s can be a little mushy at the bass end with the very vintage-sounding stock pickups (mine certainly is), and HDs should get rid of that.
