Brand new model from PRS, this gorgeous SC58 derivative is essentially a 'stripped' back version of the stunning SC58 model which sells for over 1000GBP more than this one. Upon first inspection the only differences i can notice straight away are purely cosmetic, this guitar has a nice figured maple top instead of the 'Artist Grade maple 10 top' that the SC58 has, also this guitar has the regular PRS hardcase instead of the paisley special!
The tone and playability is easily on par with the SC58 model, it has a fat warm clean tone with enough around the edges to keep the tone exciting, when overdriven this guitar really shines, it has bags of clarity even under the highest amounts of gain, everywhere on the neck the guitar sustains and rings out clearly
The neck is the 'Pattern' variety which is big and chunky without feeling like a baseball bat.
Weighs in at a featherweight 7lbs 15oz

A vintage-inspired singlecut perfect for more traditional single-cutaway players, the 58 has a classic, resonant voice that is eminently recordable and gig ready. It is also instantly comfortable to players who grew up playing short scale guitars. The "Stripped" 58 will take everything you've got and keep asking for more...get your hands on one today.
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.
Neck shapes have always been a high priority for us and a hallmark of our 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.
Whether in woodworking, machining, or cast and die work, pattern making is the art of arriving at a perfect standard which can be duplicated or used to create new designs from by "offsetting." All of our necks came to be as a result of offsetting from this original, Wide Fat design.
Previously only prototyped on Private Stock guitars, the new PRS two-piece adjustable bridge now comes standard on select PRS models: the SC 58 and the JA 15. The bridge plays a crucial role in the tonal path of a guitar by transferring the string's vibrations to the tonewood. When executed well, the bridge will enhance the wood's natural resonance. This two-piece bridge has added weight and mass, creating more contact points, which, in turn, create a more resonant, musical instrument. Similarly, machining rather than casting, gives the brass and aluminum bridge a stronger sound. "I am calling it the 'new two-piece adjustable sound transfer bridge' - I'm very happy," said Paul Reed Smith.
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.
