PRS Studio Quilted 10-Top Electric Guitar Sapphire Smokeburst

A new finish, a new neck, and Narrowfield pickups for more tonal flexibility.




PRS's new 22 fret, 25" scale length Studio model
electric guitar is a fresh, modern rendition of a traditional
single-single-hum guitar set up with the beauty and brightness of a
quilted maple 10-Top. The possibilities are vast with PRS's proprietary
57/08 Narrowfield pickups in the middle and bass positions in
conjunction with a 57/08 humbucking bridge pickup. The Narrowfield™
pickups focus the string attack much like a single-coil but are hum
canceling. The result is a new sounding pickup system, which blends
features of single-coil, soap bar, and humbucking pickups. Screaming
lead tones, crisp rhythm tones and 5-way blade switch with push/pull
switching gives a coil-split humbucker tones that can be blended with
Narrowfield pickups that enhance the flexibility of this guitar in the
studio or on stage.


Other features include mahogany neck, V12
finish, rosewood fretboard, "pattern neck shape", 2011 birds, PRS
tremolo bridge, PRS locking tuners, nickel or gold hardware, and
redesigned lampshade knobs volume and push/pull tone controls.


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 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. Perfected
after years of prototyping,
the new "Pattern" neck is an updated Wide Fat PRS neck style based on
Paul's pre-factory design. These necks were found on the instruments
built for Carlos Santana, Peter Frampton and Howard Leese from the late
70's to the mid 80's.
