Other specifications include a 25 1/4" scale length, a special neck joint, 513 bird inlays and an easy to use integrated electronics control package, which includes volume control, tone control and two blade switches.

This is one of our most versatile instruments that can go from screaming humbuckers to sparkling single coils with the flick of a 3-way.

McCarty Korina

Korina, also known as Limba, is an African wood renown for its legendary tonal qualities that add mids to the usually more mellow mahogany sound. And it's this wood that gives the McCarty Korina its unique, highly musical sound - and makes it a very light guitar. The hardware and electronics are classic PRS: vintage-style tuners, McCarty truss rod cover and humbucking or soapbar pickups.

These features combined with the tonal qualities of the guitar's construct creates an instrument that is incredibly articulate, with tight attack, excellent sustain, and outstandingly bright tones that make it the perfect instrument for players of jazz, rock and blues.

Mira X

"It's simple. It's light. It's classic, and it's powerful. We're happy that after many years of discussing concepts like this, we are finally able to bring them to market and give people new options.

Modern Eagle II

The newly updated Modern Eagle II builds on the tradition of the Modern Eagle with premium grade wood, classic Modern Eagle frets and a Modern Eagle wide fat neck carve and adds to that an all new pickup system and updated finishing techniques.

The 1957/2008 pickups offered standard on the Modern Eagle II allow players to achieve both vintage and modern sounds. PRS obtained exclusive rights to the original pickup wire used in the most revered pickups in the 50's. PRS obtained the rights to the wire in 2008, and 1957 was the year the humbucker was first commercially available, giving rise to the 1957/2008 name.
