Abraxas users, talk to me.
« on: December 30, 2012, 06:59:18 PM »
Seriously considering a set. What are there limitations? Do you think they are suited for a specific style or are they diverse enough to be a all-around cover it all p/u.

Thinking about putting them in a Les Paul or a PRS CU24.

Rock in my '93 Gibson LP. Seriously concidering them for a PRS too. Nicely balanced, hot output (tons more gain than a PAF).

Great yootube vid here (not me)

I have a pair of Abraxas, with push/pull for neck coil split, in my PRS CU22 with trem and find them to be a very versatile set of pickups.

Very versatile - they bridge that gap between vintage PAF and more aggressive HBs
Work well in LPs and PRS in my experience
If your PRS has coil tapping or rotary selector you may want one f the HBs reverse polarity

I have an Abraxas set in a Heritage H150 CM CLassic and they are awesome for that Classic Rock tone! Love, Love, Love them-

Best all-rounder pickup BKP made, my favourite of their stuff too.
