At Home: 57/08s have arrived!

As some of you may know, I recently sent out my Paul Reed Smith McCartyburst CE-22 to the PRS factory in Stevensville, MD to get a set of the much talked about and highly-desirable 1957-2008 humbuckers put into the guitar for free. They also set up the guitar for free and I paid them to install the 3-way with push-pull coil tap system (to replace my 5-way rotary).

But, I also asked them to wind the 5708s for me custom. Open coil, with zebra bobbins...



What can I say? Beautiful! And an excellently done setup to boot. This drastically and dynamically changed the sound of my guitar. I'd previously had the stock Dragon II Treble and Bass in the guitar. The change is insane. Even my co-workers are drooling. The covered versions I'd heard before were bright and clear and raunchy but didn't have as much attack and output as I'd hoped. But the uncovered ones in this guitar made up for that. Jaw-dropping vintage hot tones and mellow, cool cleans, awesome chimey split-coil tones for days.

Good going, guys!
