new pickup poll

[sylnau]

I'm thinking of replacing the pickup in my PRS CE-22 for some Bare Knuckle Abraxas (maybe in a month or two).
At first I wanted some Lollar, but for coil splitting, I think Abraxas will be better.

Which pickup you think will look better on the guitar?

The cream pickup ring goes well with the binding.
I want to keep the vintage look.
That's why I would prefer raw nickle over nickel or chrome.
Might look great with a black ring too.

Isn't the headstock and tuners and wang bar tip black??? It could look sweet???

[fever606]

vibrato arm tip should match pickup rings. they're like the shoes and belt of the guitar.

I'd go for raw too.
I also recommend ordering direct from Bare Knuckle. Since you aren't in the EU they will automatically take 20%
off the price when you place your order. If you are worried about some crazy Canadian Customs fee you can always ship
to me and I'll give you the reach around. I've got some black rings I could throw in too!

Holy Schnikes has the Abraxas in his LP so he might be able to give a first hand run down of their awesomeness.

@MEC, Thanks for the offer... I'm not ready to purchase them yet.
Are you in the UK?

I already had a discussion with my pal Schnikes about them.

Still not sure if I will keep my current wiring:
■Position 10: Treble pickup
■Position 9: Outside coils- deep and clear - parallel
■Position 8: Series single coils – Warm version of the "in between the treble and middle pickups"
■Position 7: Parallel single coils – Crisp version of the "in between the treble and middle pickups"
■Position 6: Bass pickup

Or change the rotary switch to a three way toggle and the tone knob to a push/pull knob.... and get that setting.
■Position 1: Treble Humbucker
■Position 2: Both Humbuckers
■Position 3: Bass Humbucker
PUSH-PULL UP POSITIONS
■Position 4: Bridge Single Coil
■Position 5: Both Single Coils
■Position 6: Neck Single Coil

It would probably be better that I order directly from Bare Knuckle (even if there's a local dealer here).
Because if I keep the 5 way rotary switch, I need them with a REVERSE NECK MAGNET.

It might take a while before I order them.

Who voted for tyger?

No, I'm in the US but if you have them sent to me, I could repack/relabel them so you wouldn't
get hit with a big Customs import fee and you could still save the 20% for not being in the EU.

You don't have to pay custom fee in the USA?
