I hope someone here can point me in the right direction. I want to put some Paul Reed Smith pickups in my AR300. The pickups have 3 wires plus a braided shield coming off them. The original 58's have 4 wires which I believe are all needed for the tri-tone switching. What options do I have for switching? I was thinking of using humbucker/single coil/off for the 3 positions. Does antyone here know if I can do this?
Thanks,
Jim |

With the PRSs you could wire them humbucker/sigle coil/out of phase. That will give you a few additional sounds and the setup is simple - just a jumper wire from the humbucker setup. Go to the seymour duncan website for detailed schematics etc. great site for ideas on wiring etc.
I've got a PRS w/McCartys sounds really great!
Your AR300 should sound great. Good luck.
PS let me know if you want to get rid of the 58s. |

Thanks Eric, that's a pretty good schematic. I've never changed out the pickups in an Artist before, I assume the tri-sound switches are dpdt on,on,on(?).
I'm going to keep the 58's so I can bring it back to original, though I knew asking this question would result in people offering to buy them. I actually expected groans from the purists (understandably, the 58's are excellent pickups). I have 2 other Artists and a Musician with 58's, and I want something to push my Boogie a little harder. I am putting a PRS HFS in the bridge position, but I haven't decided on a neck pickup yet. Any suggestions? |

Tri-sound switches are "special" DPDT:s, working on-on-on with central position being "irregular" on.. Nowadays obtainable eg. from Gotoh, Part n:o MS-500 XF |
