PRS Custom 24 Faded Grey, PRS Signed Headstock - SOLD
For 2012, its revered uncovered 59/09 pickups are being updated with new, contoured bobbins that arc with the strings for a more spread out, open tone. First seen on PRS Collection instruments, these bobbins are a continuation of Paul Reed Smith's quest to continually tweak and refine the company's instruments in subtle ways with the goal of culminating in a more musical instrument always in mind.
"Originally, humbucking pickups were covered to combat electrostatic and electromagnetic hum. As the years passed and the covers came off, there was a gap between the pickup and the pickup ring. These new bobbins not only provide extended low and high end, they look like they were meant to be uncovered and in a ring." - Paul Reed Smith.
