Hello first post and needing some direction.

Anyhoo, I just Re-pupped a PRS SE Semi-hollow 22 fret with Super 2s so my south coils get partial splits with toggles. 1.2 and 2.2k resistors worked really nice.

I have another PRS SE Custom 24 fret coming and this time I'll route in a middle pickup and again install toggles and a 5-way. Maybe look more into a 7-way blade switch see if I can not only get the middle isolated, but also have neck + bridge like a 3-way switch allows.

So my issue, to fit a Super 2 in the middle I'll have to squeeze it in. Looking at the PRS Super Eagle II got me thinking, use a mini humbucker in place of a full Super 2. But what mini will give me that or close to that tone full and when split? Any thoughts? I really want that Super 2 in a mini size basically and it's a low cost build, so not really looking to go to a maker, but off the shelf if possible.

This time I think it will be best to partial split all so North coils are active. That should not cause polarity issues and the pickups sit closer to bridge than a 22 fret anyway. Unless it would be possible to get Greeny option by running Neck South coil and Middle North coil active? Maybe someone knows?

Currently on the 22f semi-hollow I tend to stick to the neck south active and full bridge or just neck alone. The super 2 neck with a 1.2k just seems real nice.

Thanks to all for any mini humbucker thoughts as that's less cutting on the deck and gives that cool Super Eagle look.

Thanks Ed

It might be worth it to contact Lollar…they make great pickups and can probably steer you towards one of their options that would make sense.

Thank you for that input. I will give them a look.

Why not just install a single coil?

Thought about that, and still an option. If I did a single coil I'd either use a resistor on the blade switch to bring the pot down close to 250k or a stacked 500/250k pot. DiMarzio tech said just run a SDS-1 off the 500, but I had a tele with a single in a 500 and didn't like it, so ran a resistor.

If I ran a single, maybe pushing a single to neck, and just keep my two Super 2s middle and bridge. Freddy Rose has some Brass Jerry Wolf pickup plates, but I could always fabricate one out of plastic.

Just really wanted to try and build something closer in resemblance to the PRS Super Eagle II, being the guitar has that look and is not the Wolf shape.
