Quick overview

Body, neck and playability

The body combines a maple top with a mahogany back, carved with a shallow violin carve and topped with a flame maple veneer. The neck is bound mahogany with a rosewood fretboard, bird inlays, 22 frets and a 10″ radius, in the Pattern Vintage profile.

The 24.594″ scale length is a little shorter than the 25.5″ scale found on many other electric guitars, which many players find gives a slightly slacker feel under the fingers. It is also marginally shorter than the 24.75″ scale of a typical single-cut Gibson-style guitar.

Pickups, controls and hardware

The guitar is fitted with 58/15 LT “S” humbuckers in new sloped pickup rings. Controls are two volume knobs and two push/pull tone knobs, with a 3-way toggle pickup switch on the upper bout.

The PRS two-piece stoptail bridge is a fixed design, so there is no tremolo arm to manage. PRS designed tuners with wing buttons and nickel hardware complete the setup, and a PRS SE Gigbag is included in the specification.
