PRS 408 Stoptail with Pattern Thin Neck and Nickel Hardware Electric Guitar Natural

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




The PRS 408 Stoptail 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, stoptail 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.
