PRS-designed 85/15 "S" humbucking pickups





PRS 85/15 "S" pickups balance vintage character with modern clarity to deliver the sweet ? yet articulate ? sound and rich harmonic overtones of vintage humbuckers. Featuring a powerful bridge pickup and neck pickup with the perfect amount of brightness, the 85/15 "S" set packs a real sonic punch, from chimey cleans to full shred. The pickups are treated to PRS’s TCI (Tuned Capacitance and Inductance) tuning, which means the team at PRS has used their years of know-how to sculpt the sound to be perfect to their ears. The end result is a very musical pickup that’s true to its lineage, but updated for the modern player. Guitarists at Sweetwater love these pickups. You will, too.





Advanced switching for eight distinct tones





The "-08" in this model's moniker refers to the eight distinct tones you can conjure. With the 3-way blade switch you can access the pickup positions you'd expect from a dual-humbucker guitar ? neck only, neck plus bridge, and bridge only. The two mini-toggle switches allow you to explore five more combinations ? each switch engages a coil tap for each pickup, giving you access to snappy, articulate single-coil tones.
