Relating to my post about my PRS S2 594
https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/prs-shopping-today-i-picked-one.190554/
Some discussion on wiring got me thinking. I recently upgraded the pickups in this guitar from the 'S' 58/15's to the Core LT's. Amazing upgrade. Sounds awesome. the LT"s do use an A2 magnet vs the A5 used in the 'S' pups. Other difference is the S2 594 uses .033uf tone cap vs the .022uf in the core. My new LT pups in the S2 guitar are warm/smooth and clear though darker than the previous which given what I just mentioned isn't suprising...i got thinking: Modern vs 50's wiring. Currently My S2 has the tone cap on the input lug on Vol pot so wondered about switching over the 50's wiring. I know neither is better or worse..but really a preference thing so....
this is a nice short reference article i was reading on it.

Which do you prefer? modern vs 50's wiring or other mods to your wiring.
