Custom voicing


I'm currently not a fan of whatever PRS puts into the S2 range; majority of the pickups are not drive friendly for intensive music. You can pull off an ACDC number fine, anything more intense, you'd wonder what's missing. I have a Seymour Duncan Custom in my Vela as seen above. The Vela has a rather bright resonance pronounced by the brass saddles so bass note chugging sound unconvincing. The Custom is a high output pickup with a rather traditional voicing but a slightly more pronounced low frequency & this did wonders for the instrument. That Type-D single coil is for keeps in the mean time as it sounds great clean.
