Yeah the power of the hype train. It's the only reason I can see why someone would pay the cash required for prs 85/15, throbak, Stephen design, Ron Ellis or gibsons custombuckers. Mental prices for pickups.

I'll tell you what's silly...
Where's the link from the PRS-accessories online shop to the PRS-guitars?
As of this moment, there isn't one. I clicked on about every link on the website posted in the OP, nary a link to the instruments. Gitarded — why would you NOT link to your bread&butter?
That's not just silly, that's %^&*ING stooooooopudd.
You know what else is STOOOOOOOPUDDD? Watching the vid in the OP led to an advert for WinterPegasus Puppage (which isn't stupid, but now here's the stooooopuddle part) where they want $5 for a single 7k5 resistor NOT in-colluding shitping.
GWN-made pickups — YAY! Getting shafted $5 for a 5¢ (at best) resistor — NAY!

I like the 57/08 Bridge but found the neck to be a little dark. I've had them in two different guitars now. I do wish I'd changed the neck magnet to an alnico v as that might have fixed the issue for me.

7.5k is a pretty large value compared to the resistors I've seen being used for partial splits. I don't think I've seen any other brand going over 3.3k

Ive got lots of friends in Winnipeg but it doesn't mean that Peg City doesn't sound like it shouldn't be the name of a Friedman amp or a steel panther pedal or whatever

Saying you've never been to Peg City sounds like acknowledging virginity. Example: "Johnny talks about women like that because he's never been to Peg City."

This is all about brand cache. Pickups are nothing more than magnets, and a coil of copper magnet wire. It's not rocket science.
I'm reminded of the time Seymour Duncan released their Zephyr line of pickups using silver magnet wire to wind the coils. I think they still cost less than what PRS is charging.
I hear they have a lot of bottom end..
