One Guitar, Many Tones

The PRS 408 Standard solidbody electric guitar is a tonal chameleon that's ready for any gig. Select tonewoods such as mahogany and rosewood combine to give you a great looking guitar with tone to die for. The innovative 408 pickups offer warm, full humbucking tones and clear, glassy single-coil tones all in a single package. With the flick of a switch, you can send these flexible pickups into single-coil mode evoking the snappy, bell-like tones you need. The Pattern neck carve and stunning V12 finish give this guitar a great feel and look. The PRS 408 Standard is a true workhorse guitar.





PRS 408 Standard Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • All-mahogany body provides mellow and rich undertones
  • Custom-wound 408 pickups and switching provide endless tone
  • PRS V12 finish feels like nitro and protects like acrylic

All-mahogany body provides mellow and rich undertones
Simple, straightforward, and easy to love, the PRS 408 Standard gives you the unmistakable mellowness and tonal warmth that only an all-mahogany guitar can deliver. You'll feel and hear the uniquely deep resonance this gives you with every note you play on your PRS 408 Standard electric guitar!

Custom-wound 408 pickups and switching provide endless tone
When PRS released their Signature Limited model, everyone who got a chance to check out the new 408 pickups was absolutely blown away. But true to his perfectionist nature, Paul Reed Smith continued to tweak these 100% proprietary pickups to perfection. In fact, he discovered that by tightening up the pickup field on a 408 Bass pickup, he was actually able to create an even better sounding treble pickup. The PRS 408 Standard electric guitar features a pair of these amazing 408 pickups. But it doesn't stop there, these amazing pickups also have dedicated mini switches, so you can shift to the timeless single-coil sound instantaneously. Best of all, there is no volume loss when switching to single-coil mode!

PRS V12 finish feels like nitro and protects like acrylic
The PRS 408 Standard is finished in a stunning PRS V12 finish. If you're seeking vintage vibe with a sophisticated edge, your search ends here. Over a decade in the making, the PRS V12 finish blends the thin, resonance-enhancing characteristics of a nitro finish with the non-cracking reliability you expect from a modern acrylic finish. It has a classic feel all its own that makes your axe feel like a well-worn instrument. One that will look flawless for years to come.

PRS 408 Standard Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:
  • Production version of the PRS Signature Limited
  • Custom 408 pickups with single-coil/humbucking switches
  • Classic all-mahogany body tone
  • Mahogany neck with Pattern neck carve
  • Exclusive PRS V12 finish
