2007 PRS Custom 24 pickup assistance/combinations

Thanks for all the feedback guys,

All things considered I think it’s looking like the Abraxas set for my Cu24.. it will of course balance well and it sounds like it will be versatile enough for me also in terms of genre and splits etc.

Cheers!

I was playing my Bernie with the Abraxas set today and it sounds amazing. I think you've made the right choice as people seem to like the Abraxas in just about any guitar. The RY's have a reputation for being a bit more finicky. Let us know how it goes.

Rebel Yell and Juggernauts are both like this.  Rebel yell loves low mid dominant guitars and juggernauts love bright high mid and treble dominant instruments. 

The juggernauts can turn muddy in a warm guitar while the rebel yell can become shrill in a brig

I’ve played both the Abraxas and Rebel Yell in similar guitars (both PRS SEs Abraxas we’re in a Tremonti and RY in a regular Singlecut). While I didn’t really care for the Abraxas bridge (thought the neck was great), I think it is the right choice for you over the RY. I prefer more top end from my guitars, and the Abraxas was too round in the high end for my taste. However, I think the Custom 24 is a brighter instrument than that particular Tremonti, and I think for the sound you’re looking for, the Abraxas should do exactly what you want. The RY doesn’t have as much treble as it does upper mids, but it does tend to work in thicker sounding instruments to help balance them out and cut better.
