These new instruments, offered in both maple top (MT) and all mahogany (Standard) configurations, bring the voicing of PRS Guitar’s Signature/408 pickups (previously featured on the Private Stock Signature and the Signature Limited Edition) to PRS’s Core line.

PRS 408 pickups were designed to extend the guitar’s tonal spectrum by narrowing the field of the bass pickup to increase its focus and widening the field of the treble pickup to increase its sound field (hence their asymmetric appearance). This pickup configuration is comprised of four coils and offers eight sounds.
