What pickups does it come with?
What pickups does it come with?
In this case the korean made 85/15's. I have no idea how they compare to the core LT 85/15's. The shop here actually had a pair of those, the core ones. Guess they don't come around too often. $650 CAD. Bit steep for my wallet.
Those came in my SE Standard 24, and I swapped a pair into my SE 245. Love them!
I replaced dragon ii’s in a custom 22 with sd 59s and didnt hear a difference (clean and mid gain, high volume). Put lollars in another cu22 and it was immediately a much fatter sound. Cant recall if low wind or reg wind though. The last 5 I havent touched.
Based on my experience with them in my Schroeder, I put WCR Godwoods in my SE Custom 24, and they were a substantial improvement. Depends on what you're after, and I don't remember what the stock pickups were, but they were too "high-fi" sounding to me. They didn't sound like humbuckers. Too much bass, too much high end.
PRS 85/15S pickups into the SE 245, replacing the 245S or whatever they're called. Gained a bit of clarity and dropped a bit of output level - a fair trade, methinks....
The S2 594 definitely stays. at this shop they have an impressive PRS collection and rare opportunity to really compare models and neck shapes. I tried out some core 594's and after that I just found a gem in mine as it just played better than just about anything I played in the store today from low to high. The Custom 24 ten top piezo just bedazzled me mostly. Piece of art really. It played pretty great though the action was tad high for my liking....Just not enough to justify $7K price tag. Maybe when i retire one day I'll get something that purdy. No purchases today. I get the PRS love now.
It damn near happened. Believe me it was close today but I remain Galadriel. I will diminish, and go into the west....
But no tele? They're not that expensive unless you go ancient or serious bling, and they really are a thing.
no tele yet. The LSL was close but it has a premium price tag. I'd like to hold out for the right deal and perhaps check out some Fender offerings to get more familiar.
The words you want are “used, private sale” haha.
Warmoth has some nice finish options and all the options for neck and body. Top it off with Fralin hum-free pickups and Rutters hardware and you'd have a premium Tele for a reasonable price. Or, check oyr Bud Veazey's VZ Custom Guitars.
