With the PRS Experience PRS 2020 Modern Eagle V River Blue Wrap Burst electric guitar, Paul Reed Smith celebrates the popular "Experience PRS" company event with a special edition of the coveted Modern Eagle model that combines top-quality woods with an innovative as well as versatile circuit. In addition to the mahogany body with its breathtaking 10-top flamed maple top, PRS uses a comfortable pattern mahogany neck with a fretboard made of Honduran rosewood. An HSH pickup setup featuring two TCI humbuckers and a narrow single-coil, combined with the versatile circuitry of a 5-way switch and separate coil-split switches, promises multi-faceted electric guitar sounds with first-class all-round qualities for almost any genre. High-quality hardware equipment with PRS Patented Tremolo and Phase III Locking Tuners complete the PRS Experience PRS 2020 Modern Eagle V River Blue Wrap Burst.
During the construction of the PRS Experience 2020 Modern Eagle V, the Luthiers at PRS of course pay special attention to high-quality tonewoods that combine first-class and lively sound characteristics with a stunning look. The mahogany body bears a solid flamed maple top in uniformly flamed 10-top quality, while the glued, one-piece mahogany neck is fitted with a fretboard made of Honduran rosewood. The pleasantly strong "pattern" profile also the best conditions for comfortable playing.
The electrical sound conversion of the PRS 2020 Modern Eagle V is handled by an HSH setup consisting of two PRS TCI humbuckers and a single-coil, which are optimally tuned to the electric guitar in terms of inductance and capacitance (TCI, Tuned Capacitance and Inductance) and thus deliver a particularly natural sound image with lively presentation and harmonic balance. The extremely versatile 5-way circuit with separate coil-split switches and a push/pull switch for simultaneous activation of the bridge and neck pickups provides an enormous variety of sounds with typical humbucker and single-coil tones. In addition, the resistance of the volume control can be switched from 500 kOhm to 250 kOhm, so that the control range and sound behaviour can be adjusted to any pickup combination.
Naturally, the PRS Experience PRS 2020 Modern Eagle V River Blue Wrap Burst is rounded off by high-quality hardware in a chic nickel-gold hybrid look, developed in-house and optimally matched to the electric guitar. The body features a PRS Patented tremolo milled from the whole, whose smooth handling and tuning stability are considered benchmarks for a reason. Furthermore, PRS Phase III locking tuners with faux-bone wings on the headstock ensure precise tuning of the electric guitar.
