Signature PRS style and feel with an increased variety of pickup control and tones.




The PRS 408 with Pattern Thin Neck and Nickel
Hardware Electric Guitar is one of the exciting new PRS 408 guitars.
These inspiring instruments, offered as both a maple top (MT) and all
mahogany (Standard) version, bring the versatility and voicing of the
Private Stock Signature and the Signature Limited Edition to PRS’s Core
line. Multiple variations are available at Musician's Friend, just type
PRS 408 into our search engine to see what's in stock. This one is
distiguished by its all mahogany body, new pattern thin neck shape, PRS
tremolo bridge and nickel hardware.


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 (comprised of four coils and offering eight
sounds) stems back to Paul’s experimentation on the Sorcerer’s
Apprentice guitars in the early 1980’s. Thanks to the simple but
versatile switching system featuring mini-toggle switches that provide
numerous combinations of humbucking and singlecoil tones, the 408 Maple
Top and 408 Standard provide stunning articulation and musical clarity.


V12 finish
Finish
should enhance the look, sound, and feel of a guitar by accentuating
the wood’s inherent beauty and feel without hindering its natural
resonance. And PRS Guitars’ new “V12” finish does just that. Introduced
at Experience PRS 2010, “V12” is a very thin, hard, and clear finish
that will not crack or react with thinners. After roughly 12 years in
development, it is halfway between acrylic and nitro, but with a classic
feel all its own. “PRS models with this new finish feel like old
instruments,” said Paul Reed Smith.


Pattern Thin Neck Shape
Neck
shapes have always been a high priority for PRS and a hallmark of their
quality. A guitar should feel comfortable, like “home,” as soon as you
pick it up, and the neck is paramount to that connection. The “Pattern
Thin” neck is an updated version of PRS’s traditional Wide Thin neck.
This new neck shape reflects modern tooling and programming that allows
PRS to even more precisely shape and consistently reproduce their necks.


Phase III Locking Tuners
PRS Guitars
Phase III tuners are new to the line up for 2011 and will come standard
on SC 58, McCarty 58, ME Quatro, and JA-15 models. These very smooth,
high-tolerance pegs feature an elegant design with larger buttons, an
open back, and closed housing.
