PRS 509 Electric Guitar 10-Top

Nine Different Pickup Combinations
The Paul Reed Smith 509 solidbody electric guitar boasts an amazing array of humbucking and single-coil tones, thanks to five TCI-tuned single-coil pickups mounted in the gorgeously figured carved maple 10-Top. The easy-to-use electronics package lets you switch between nine different tonal variations via a 5-way pickup selector and two mini toggles. The 509 also features a mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard, a 25.25-inch scale length, mother-of-pearl bird inlays, and a PRS Gen III trem. The PRS 509 packs tonal versatility and flawless playability into a show-stoppingly beautiful package.



Nine humbucking and single-coil tones
The PRS 509's extremely diverse pickup system put it on the map. At first glance, the 509 appears to have a standard HSH pickup configuration, but those humbuckers are actually independent, side-by-side single-coil pickups. But thanks to the 509’s flexible pickup switching, you can set these pickups as true single-coils or full-on humbuckers. The pickups are treated to PRS’s TCI (Tuned Capacitance and Inductance) tuning, which means the team at PRS has used their years of know-how to sculpt the sound to be perfect to their ears. The end result is a very musical pickup that’s true to its lineage, but updated for the modern player. In combination with the guitar’s 5-way pickup selector, this adds up to a total of nine distinct pickup configurations. Take it from Sweetwater’s guitar experts — the PRS 509 has the tonal variety you need for any gig.




Pattern Regular neck feels great and plays smoothly
The PRS 509 gives you a Pattern Regular mahogany neck fitted with a rosewood fretboard. A hallmark of PRS quality, neck shapes are, of course, critical to your playing experience. Perfected after years of prototyping, the Pattern Regular neck carve is based on Paul Reed Smith’s original, pre-factory neck design — the same one used on instruments Paul built in the late ’80s at PRS’s Virginia Avenue location. You’ll love the feel and playability of the PRS 509 electric guitar!




Revamped finish for classic feel
PRS has retooled the finish process for their latest models. Taking cues from Private Stock finishes that entail high-gloss nitro over a cellulose CAB base coat, the result is a finish that’s thin, durable, and crystal clear — the perfect formula for vintage feel and superior resonance.
