Haven't used one, but they do look a bit naff, don't they?  I'm sure they do the job.

Sinner in angled position in Neck would surely be killer!  :P

funny enough, i looked that up a couple of days ago.  i saw a guy playing in a blues band in county Monaghan, with an epiphone les Paul custom 3 pickup with one of those in the neck position.  it sounded pretty good.  did look odd though.

It would make a good template to make a nicer one out of wood!

Great idea, but maybe not a top seller item.

Would be great for a h-s-s strat if you wanted to go classic strat (and your humbucker sits in a mounting ring).

In a way, its a shame its angled.. Not so ideal for the neck. Maybe it has to be angled though considering the dimensions of the pickups. Might do some experimenting

It does look like the clearances will be a little tight:

I'd say that PRS will have definitely had some minor routing.  Their cavities are pretty tight (oo-er) even for normal humbuckers.
