Hi, I have this great PRS Hollowbody II w/ piezo. I love the guitar, but I've always had it in the back of my mind that the pickups were kinda dull and could probably have a little more character. This was before PRS got serious about PAF pickups, etc.. So, years later, with more personal gear experience and a couple of great sets of BKPs, I'm going back to this guitar and thinking of what I could do.
Since we can do any P90s in humbucker size these days, I was thinking of putting a P90 in the neck and a HB in the bridge. Particularly because I would like a nice jazz tone in the neck, and the way PRS hollow bodies are, it's really a pain to install switches to split the coils - which would be really handy with the piezo/blend functionality. Since I'd rather not drill any holes for a new switch, I would think a P90 would blend well with the piezo, while also giving me a classic jazz tone on it's own.
Has anyone done this kind of thing? Are there any weird balancing/calibrating issues?
I'm thinking either the Stormy Monday or Mule in the bridge and either a Manhattan or Blue Note in the neck.
I've never had a Mule in anything, and am dying to try one out, so would lean that way (w/ a BN in the neck for a little more output than the MH) - but it does seem like SM's are recommended a lot for hollowbody guitars.
What do you guys think? Thanks!
