Put a Fender Shawbucker 2 in my PRS SE Custom 24 bridge position, and a Shawbucker 1 in the neck position.
Put in PRS locking tuners.
Had to move a tiny amount of wood for perfect fit.
Shawbuckers give you state of the art Strat tone, smooth, sweet, sustain, you will be amazed!
The tone is pure rock from both pickups, not average tone, we are talking Pro Tone!
