I Rewound a PRS Pickup… and it’s better now!?
In this last episode for Season 3, we go over serveral Paul Reed Smith pickup specs and rewind a No. 7 ‘S’ PRS SE import pickup (G&B Pickups) that come stock in the SE and S2 lines. We take a look at the parts and components that make up the No.7 ‘S’, rewind a broken one back to life and put it in a 2018 S2 Singlecut. We plug into the Bogner XTC 3534 35watt head and PRS Archon 2×12 Cab (loaded with a V30 and Eminence Cannabis Rex) and compare a stock S2 bridge pickup with a rewound one.
Just some good old lengthy fun here with a quick cold brewskie at the end, hope everyone’s doing well and enjoying guitar in their lives. We’ll be back at ‘er in full force early fall with Season 3!
Cheers and thanks for hangin’ out and coming along for the ride.
