From Our Research Team:

Single-coil Magic, from PRS!

You'll love what you can do on this single-coil player! Play PRS's outstanding DC3 solidbody and you'll love its big-sounding, clear tones. The combination of the DC3's flat alder body and its trio of PRS DC3 Singlecoil pickups gives you a classic, classy vehicle for your expression. Use the 5-way selector to get a range of fantastic tones, effortlessly. You'll also love the fast rosewood-topped maple neck, which features PRS's distinctive Pattern Regular carve. Plus, the super-smooth PRS tremolo is perfectly suited to the DC3. This guitar will make you a single-coil believer again!

Why does the DC3 feel so "just right" when you pick it up? For starters, this guitar has a Pattern Regular neck carve based on Paul Reed Smith's original, pre-factory neck design - the same one used on instruments he built in the late '80s, at PRS's Virginia Avenue location. The DC3's amazing vibe extends to its finish. Paul Reed Smith's impressive V12 finish combines the thin, resonance-friendly characteristics of a nitro finish with the modern convenience and non-cracking reliability you expect from a modern acrylic finish. This hard, clear finish will keep your DC3 looking amazing for years to come.

If you've ever seen a PRS guitar up close, you know what we mean when we go on about how gorgeous these guitars are. There's nothing better for a guitar enthusiast than seeing, feeling, and, yes, smelling the finish, figure, and complexity of these guitars. If geography prevents you from stopping in and checking them out, however, you can get the next best thing: detailed, multi-angle views at our online Guitar Gallery.
