Brand new limited run of PRS SE Bernie Marsden signatures. After having been praised in review after review, the Bernie Marsden Limited model now goes a step further by including USA PRS 53/10 pickups - The very same pickups used in PRS' P22 (£3,249), P24 (£3,499), Modern Eagle Quatro (£3,999) and other models - with coil-tap.
What PRS say about their 53/10 pickups:
The 53/10™ pickup is the latest in the series of humbucking pickups that already includes PRS 57/08™ and 59/09’s™ (and the smaller aperture 57/08 Narrowfield®). First debuting as part of a limited run in the summer of 2010, the distinctive 53/10™ is the warmest-sounding of the vintage themed bunch. The 53/10™ coil wire is made on the same machine that supplied legendary guitar makers in the fifties. Wire specifications for the 53/10™ are slightly different than the others and are made using a special process reserved for a single-coil bridge pickup circa 1953; however, the 53/10™ is a humbucking pickup. Smith commented, “There are single-coil guitars from that era that are beautifully big, fat sounding guitars.” With that tone as inspiration, 53/10™ pickups are similar to the original 57/08™ but with a “sweeter” high end.
