The PRS 57/08 Bass Humbucker convinces with its absolutely authentic vintage sound, which draws its inspiration in the pickups from the golden era of guitar making in the 1950s. This is due to the combination of Alnico 2 magnets and historically correct copper wire, which was produced on the same machine that supplied the wire for a legendary pickup back in 1957. Accordingly, the pickup convinces with a vocal mid-spectrum, airy light highs and an organic dynamics that puts the tone shaping in the player's hand.

Well i love the sound that these pickups produce. I replaced the stock pickups from my PRS SE and the guitar is now one of my favourites. The only slight issue was the install instructions, There was nothing in the box and i found little to help me on the PRS website (or youtube). I managed to get close enough via PRS forums to understand where to start but i still ended up wiring it in wrong. In the end a bit of trial and error helped me to get it done.
