Maple table "carved"
Mahogany body
Mahogany set neck
Standard shape of the handle
Rosewood
Scale 635mm (25 ")
Marks 25th anniversary shadow birds
24 cases
Mechanical PRS low mass locking phase II 14:1
Bridge pickup 57/08
Micro serious 57/08
Volume and tone controls
5 position rotary switch
Nickel fittings
Finish: Smoked black slate (for mine)
UTILIZATION
PRS handle very nice, the guitar is fairly light and access to acute is easy.
The mechanics are very well thought since we have a mix of mechanical lifts wraps and bath oil, therefore, very good performance tuning, easy to make changes ropes and longevity of mechanical time a treat!
A downside to the switch PRS wants inventive and discreet, this is a volume knob or tone has notched five positions that can disrupt early but not worth point less because it is very well placed and once mastered, much more reliable than other types of selectors.
SOUNDS
Very versatile, Pop, Jazz, Rock, Metal (my main use), blues or variety, it covers all styles by igniting other fenders and gibsons the way.
The pickups are hot, while maintaining clarity, precision and aggression, which gives them this versatile side.
Drop in or tuning down, microphones do not lose precision.
Electronics very well cared for (hopefully for the price) guaranteed no hiss or buzz!
I stopped there on the sound as it is praise of PRS, it's upscale, it is no surprise especially, this is THE best guitar that I could play!
Maintenance tuning vibrato perfectly in all situations. I also was impressed by the speed of the vibrato setting after changing the strings AND the shooting, about 5 minutes flat. (Many guitarists will agree to say that it is a nightmare to change pulling a guitar vibrato ...).
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for one full month but I would have to post an opinion because it is excellent!
I tested many (many) guitar models, all brands, all ranges without comparison.
I use a combo of Spider IV 75 and line 6 in ... MIRACLE! My problem with repeated feedback that I had with my gibson SG disappeared. I also have a Mesa Single Rectifier Rect-O-Verb Mesa Roadking Cab with, what delight!
The +
* The sound
* The versatility
* Fluency
* Sobriety
* Ergonomics
* Weight
* Careful design
* The electronic clean and reliable silenceuse
* The cleanliness of notes played
* Mics aggressive AND gentle at the same time
* A TRUE vibrato like the road
* I love
* A little
* Many
* A la folie
The -
* Do not even beer printer
=> No I would not put the price in the negative because the price is indeed justified (even if the quality costs an arm ...)
To redo this choice, I would have no longer have this guitar in my possession now, I do not sell it one day.
