PRS Dragon II Treble Humbucker Bridge Pickup – Nickel | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The PRS Dragon II Treble Humbucker is a double-coil bridge position pickup designed to occupy the territory between vintage and modern — Alnico magnets paired with an increased coil winding at 12 kOhm DC resistance deliver output that balances dynamic, expressive clean and drive tones with contemporary high-gain capability. Whether you're looking to restore a PRS guitar to factory Dragon II specification, upgrade from a different bridge pickup, or simply chase the specific tonal character of this well-regarded PRS design, the Dragon II Treble's four-conductor wiring opens up a versatile range of circuit and coil-splitting options. Nickel cover finish.
Product Overview
The Dragon II pickup series occupies a specific and celebrated place in PRS's pickup history — designed to offer the dynamic expressiveness and tonal complexity associated with vintage-voiced humbuckers while providing enough output to handle contemporary high-gain playing without sounding compressed or losing note definition. The Alnico magnet structure is the material choice that most directly contributes to this vintage-leaning character — Alnico magnets produce a warmer, more organic magnetic field than ceramic alternatives, with a natural compression and harmonic richness that responds to playing dynamics in a musically expressive way. At 12 kOhm DC resistance, the Dragon II Treble's coil winding sits meaningfully above vintage PAF-style output levels, adding tightness, presence, and drive capability without crossing into the scooped, compressed tonal territory of high-output modern humbuckers.
The resulting tonal character strikes a balance that suits players who want one pickup to cover significant tonal ground — from articulate, dynamic clean tones that retain note definition and harmonic complexity, through touch-sensitive overdriven playing where the pickup's response to pick attack and guitar volume control is critical, and into contemporary high-gain territory where the increased output provides the drive needed without sacrificing the tonal clarity and string separation that lower-output vintage pickups can lose under heavy gain. The four-conductor wiring makes this pickup compatible with a wide range of switching and circuit configurations — coil splitting, series/parallel switching, and phase switching are all accessible with appropriate switching hardware.
Ideal For
- PRS guitar owners replacing a Dragon II Treble humbucker to restore their instrument to factory specification
- Players upgrading their bridge pickup to the Dragon II Treble for its between-vintage-and-modern tonal character
- Guitarists who want an Alnico humbucker with increased output that remains dynamic and expressive rather than compressed and scooped
- Players who want four-conductor wiring for coil-splitting and other switching options in their guitar's circuit
- Guitarists in Idaho Falls looking for a genuine PRS replacement or upgrade bridge humbucker with the Dragon II's well-documented tonal balance
Key Features
Alnico Magnets for Vintage Tonal Character
Alnico magnet construction produces the warm, organic magnetic field and natural compression associated with vintage humbucker designs — harmonically rich and dynamically responsive to playing technique.
12 kOhm DC Resistance — Between Vintage and Modern
Increased coil winding over vintage PAF levels provides enhanced output, tightness, and drive capability while retaining the dynamic expressiveness and tonal complexity that lower-output vintage pickups are valued for.
Four-Conductor Wiring
A four-core connection cable allows for a variety of wiring, switching, and circuit options — including coil splitting, series/parallel switching, and phase switching with appropriate hardware.
Bridge Position Design
Specifically voiced and wound for the bridge position, where string vibration characteristics, mounting height, and tonal expectations differ meaningfully from the neck position.
Nickel Cover
A nickel cover finish provides a classic, refined aesthetic compatible with a wide range of PRS and other guitar hardware finishes.
Passive Design
No active electronics, no battery required — pure passive humbucker performance.
