prototype pickups

[Mikegarveyblues]

I got no skin in this game, I don't play high gain much. But it's fun to watch you guys circle like sharks smelling blood in the water, over pickups you've never even heard.

It is a bit like that but more than anything it's interest and a bit of fun. The guys at PRS sound excited so why not join in with that?

I don't know, I'm digging O\m/G for a name

Don't overthink it - \m/ is an awesome name.

Would love to hear them in a Tremonti...

I think you're going to love the clean tones on these. I think it may be unfair to pigeonhole them in the "metal" category, they are going to work well for anyone looking for defined note separation and clear articulation. They sound huge too!



I'm just looking out for you guys

Defined, articulate and huge sounding. Can't wait....well....hoping they are given the green light. Just curious: what test guitar(s) have you rocked these bad boys in?

First sets sold exclusively to forum members? I think that may be doable!

where have I been for the last week? I am stoked about what i see in this thread!!!! I am totally up for a pair. Wouldn't be the first time I purchased a PRS item without hearing it..

Now I'm REALLY paying attention. If it can be clean AND heavy & huge sounding with definition...that's always important to me. I love the Tremonti for full out gain, but don't use one because it doesn't quite clean up as well as I'd like. I've actually come to prefer the 5708 and 5909s over the last few years even though I play pretty high gain a lot. Covers and squabbins would be a good idea...many high gain guys will want the uncovered option...but you guys are doing the 5708s uncovered now, so I don't imagine that will be a problem. I'll be down for these. The forum member idea is ​GREAT.

I'd have to buy a guitar to put them in.

I sense a successful marketing strategy.

That did occur to me also, but it reflects the respect for the opinions of Shawn and everyone at PRS. It their jaws dropped, good enough for me.

Like I said, fun to watch. Fun is good! I'm not opposed in any way. It just strikes me as kind of humorous.

Shawn, there should be room to toss a set in in the case for my SAS at the PTC . Just sayin'...

[cjmwrx]

I'll take a set. Definitely.

Any good news on your prototypes? My wife was looking for gift ideas for me.

[BobbyD]

I'm in! Now I have to spend some time figuring out what kind of guitar they would work best in...
