Narrow Field

PRS guitars continue to intrigue me with their innovations; the above pickups are the manufacturer's own Narrow Field humbuckers. If you take a closer look, these are actually compressed humbuckers narrower in width implying a different type of coil winding application. It's a petty variation to many of us but consider the tonal differentiation it generates, that's what Mr. Smith believes in:

"...because of its smaller 'aperture' senses less of the string to give you the clear sound & bite of single-coils and the warmth of humbuckers."
