Precision-tuned TCI Humbuckers
PRS 85/15 pickups meet at the crossroads of vintage and modern pickup design, built to offer 6-string players an updated take on the classic humbuckers of yore. These pickups boast a clear and present tone, with extended high- and low-end power, in addition to natural clarity across the entire sonic spectrum. No matter what your rig looks like, the 85/15 is sure to please — Sweetwater guitarists have found that 85/15 pickups were especially great at driving a busy pedalboard without losing definition, but they also have more than enough character to simply plug straight into your favorite hot tube amp. Lastly, like all of Paul’s top-of-the-line pickups, 85/15 humbuckers harness the power of PRS’ TCI (Tuned Capacitance and Inductance) process, precision tuned to offer the most musical response and consistent build possible.

A pickup 30 years in the making
Few brands are as dedicated to advancing the art of guitar design as Paul Reed Smith. The company is constantly refining their products with one goal in mind: optimal 6-string tone. Case in point is the 85/15 humbucker, a design that began in Paul’s workshop all the way back in 1985, now updated to take advantage of over three decades of research and development. Was it worth it? Well, we prefer to let the 85/15’s tone speaks for itself: plug one in and you’ll be rewarded with a powerful full-range humbucker punch that retains the inherent definition and the clarity of a single-coil pickup!
