So a maple capped limba PRS styled guitar would be a good match?

Any thoughts on semi-hollow with emeralds. (Same body style with an f-hole perhaps)

I have an abraxas, and a bit more highs/less low mids would be something I think I would like.

Dunno, but I'd be interested too.  Thinking of putting my Emeralds in my Washburn HB-50, if only because it's my only guitar with gold hardware.  And it might look cool with zebra pickups?

It couldn't do any harm.  The stock pickups are pretty dreadful anyway.

Got a calibrated Emerald set in my PRS style guitar. I totally love the neck pickup, stays clean and clear even under highest amounts of gain and has the best clean sound I've ever heard from a neck humbucker. A true masterpiece in my opinion!
Unfortunately the bridge version doesn't really fit my guitar because of its brightness which doesn't really work with the alder body and the ash top of my guitar. Will keep the neck Emerald but go for a Holydiver bridge, because it's my favourite BKP bridge pickup and will provide the fatness I need  :D.
