What are your Favorite PRS pickups?
I love the Artist series but my favorites are the Dragon I's
Dragons were my favorite until I put 59/09s in ...........
Dragon I's are great pickups...one of my favorite pickup sets of all time! All of the 5x/xx and the DGT's are where its at these days for me. Hard to pick just one...if I was forced to I would probably do a set of covered 59/09's.
1. DGT
2. Tremonti Treble
3. Dragon 1
HFS
Deep Dish II
Personally I like the HFS/Vintage combo
408's, 5708's, dragons .Quote:

I haven't tried enough of them to know...yet. I have a 2001 CU22 that came with dragon 2's (i'll keep my opinion of those to myself). I switched those out for dragon 1's, and although I loved the bridge pickup, the neck pickup was a little muddy sounding for my taste. I switched them out again for modern eagle pickups and a 3 way switch and it sounds pretty damn good now. Plenty of bottom end for newer rock and nice warm/clean tone. I think I'll leave it alone for a while and just play it :) ...My newest guitar is an '06 SC with #7's. My clean sound (neck pickup) is amazing and full of tone, but i think the bridge pickup is lacking somewhat. I dont know what i want to try next, but foresee a pickup change coming.
59/09s
Why do you guys like the ones you mentioned?
408s all day every day for me - they fix the problems I have with all other humbuckers (too boomy in the neck, too thin in the bridge).
Dragon Bass>McCarty>SC245>Grissom>57/08>59/09
In chronological order... :D
covered 5909s
HFS- feels kinda like an EMG 85, but with a more, dare I say it; "organic" tone.
Covered DII neck pup- splits well and the cover does something "glassy" to it.
53/10 neck is on my short-list I'd like to try, along with the single-bass, thanks to Chris' videos.
love Tremonti Treble and uncovered 5909, bridge and neck.
I am very happy with the 53/10's in my P24.
I would say the 408's then the 57/08 but I am trying to get my hands on a set of covered 59/09's . Just saying hint hint :creep:
I've been a fan of the 57/08s, but am digging the 53/10s in my P22. My father had an older SAS that had the sweetest sounding neck pickup I have ever heard. It was really mellow, clear, and smooth. Every time I played that guitar, I'd just sit there and noodle, without any thought except: TONE.
