PRS Modern Eagle V, Charcoal Burst Overview
Enter the realm of sonic sophistication with the PRS Modern Eagle V, a guitar that effortlessly marries innovation with classic craftsmanship. Designed to inspire musicians both in the studio and on stage, this instrument redefines what’s possible in a guitar.
A Sonic Masterpiece
The Modern Eagle V boasts a groundbreaking hum/single/hum (five-coil) pickup layout and a unique electronics configuration. This innovation opens up a universe of tonal possibilities, making this guitar a versatile companion for any player. The 5-way blade switch intuitively selects pickups in five groupings: treble, treble and middle, middle, middle and bass, and bass. With a single volume control and a push/pull tone control, you can activate both humbuckers simultaneously, unlocking a symphony of sound. Mini toggles let you individually separate the humbucker coils, transforming the outer pickups into true single coils. This ingenious electronics design puts a treasure trove of classic and contemporary tones right at your fingertips.
Exquisite Craftsmanship
The PRS Modern Eagle V features a beautifully figured maple top and a mahogany back, creating a visually stunning canvas for your music. The 22-fret, 25" scale length Pattern mahogany neck, with its rosewood fretboard and bone nut, offers unparalleled playability and comfort. The PRS patented Gen III tremolo ensures smooth and reliable performance, allowing you to express your creativity without limits.
A Celebration of Tonewoods
As Paul Reed Smith himself notes, “Modern Eagle models have always been built to stand up to history while celebrating tonewoods and the discovery of new tones.” The Modern Eagle V lives up to this legacy with impeccable craftsmanship and tonal prowess. It’s an instrument that stands as a testament to PRS’s commitment to excellence in both electronic and mechanical design.
