PRS Paul's Guitar With Pattern Neck Electric Guitar Black Gold Burst

Historically, the Paul��s Guitar has been a realization of Paul Reed Smith��s latest discoveries surrounding tone. Paul specified every appointment of this instrument from the wood selection and inlay design to the pickups. This revamped model represents Paul��s vision not only as a guitar maker but as a guitar player who understands the importance of versatile stage- and studio-ready gear that can achieve all the right tones. As a man who has every option available to him, Paul��s personal design choices include mahogany bodies with maple tops, Honduran rosewood fretboards, nitrocellulose finishes, "Brushstroke" bird inlays and narrow pickup bobbins. This Paul��s Guitar model also includes PRS��s TCI (Tuned Capacitance and Inductance) treble and bass pickups with two mini-toggle switches that allow players to put either or both pickups in either humbucking or true single-coil mode.

��I don��t just like the newest version of my guitar, I love it. With these new pickups, I can move from a strong bridge pickup to a very clear, "whoopy" neck pickup��you can hear every note��by just setting the mini-toggles and using the 3-way as normal. It��s a highly musical and very usable setup. This guitar has clear, spanky single coils when you split the pickups but a very full soapbar quality when they are in humbucking mode. It��s just beautiful.�� - Paul Reed Smith
