Description
The PRS Studio is a fresh twist on the classic HSS setup, but with that unmistakable PRS magic sprinkled in. At the heart of this beast are PRS’s own Narrowfield pickups sitting in the middle and neck positions, paired with a McCarty III humbucker at the bridge for that big, bold punch. The McCarty III is the result of years of obsessive research by Paul Reed Smith and his team, blending vintage inspiration with cutting-edge tech to deliver a tone that’s warm, full and dripping with vocal-like clarity.
Ultimate all-rounder
What makes the Studio so special? It’s the sheer versatility. You’ve got snappy single-coil sparkle, sweet scooped vintage tones and a chunky humbucker roar all living in one guitar. Thanks to the clever push/pull tone control and 5-way blade switch, you’ve got seven different pickup combinations at your fingertips. From classic sounds to unique voices you won’t find anywhere else, this is the ultimate “desert island” guitar.
Premium tonewoods & hardware
This exquisite instrument boasts a stunning figured Maple top paired with a solid Mahogany back and neck. Add in the signature PRS 25” scale length and a silky Rosewood fingerboard, and you’ve got a recipe for amazing tone and pure playing pleasure. PRS’s Gen III tremolo and Phase III locking machine heads keep everything rock-solid too, so you can confidently dive-bomb and bend without fear of losing tune.
