They're genuinely useful – the coil splits provide a convincing single-coil tone, expanding the guitar's versatility for cleaner or funkier playing.
The Pattern neck is designed to be more universally comfortable, often feeling slightly thinner and more rounded than some of the older, more sculpted PRS neck profiles.
