Hi, I’m a new member. Just got a LP after being a strictly single coil guy. I bought a nice used 2014 Traditional husk that’s pretty beat up. I do restoration and refinishing so it’s a project for me and since I don’t trade my guitars, resale value isn’t an issue. I don’t have much experience with Humbuckers.
I bought a set of Fralin Modern PAFs for it and am wondering about wiring options. Typically, I like a lot of tonal options on a guitar, so I was thinking of doing something like the PRS type wiring with the rotary switch.
Question: Are these Fralin Modern PAFs well suited to that type switch setup? Sorry for my ignorance, but I really don’t know what to expect. I have great single coil guitars, so I don’t really think simple coil splitting is going to satisfy me tone wise because I’ve never heard a split humbucker that sounded good to my ears. Hence my thinking that the PRS rotary switching would be better because it pairs various coils. Are the Fralin Modern PAFs a good pickup choice for implementing the PRS 5 way switching? If the “non-standard” tones are anemic or weak, I’d rather save $50 on the switch and just wire it normally.
Thanks for your input.
