Stunning P245 with a 10-Top

The PRS P245 10-Top single cutaway solidbody electric guitar combines vintage-style humbuckers and a PRS/LR Baggs piezo pickup system for gorgeous, full-bodied acoustic and electric guitar tones. Separate output jacks and volume controls let you blend your piezo output with the P245's 58/15 pickups or send them out on a separate signal path. And this P245 is topped with a stunning figured maple 10-Top to complement its mahogany construction. The pattern profile neck and exquisite appointments make this PRS P245 a must-have guitar.

PRS P245 10-Top Solidbody Guitar at a Glance:
  • 10-Top Grade tonewoods protected with PRS's V12 finish
  • PRS/LR Baggs piezo pickup system
  • 58/15 pickups deliver sweetened humbucker sound
10-Top Grade tonewoods protected with PRS's V12 finish

PRS selected the tried-and-true combination of mahogany topped with figured maple to give the P245 a rich and balanced sound. The P245's select-grade mahogany body offers natural tonal warmth and character to its acoustic sounds. And the 10-Top on this P245 is an absolute show stopper. These tonewoods combine for an incredibly balanced sound that's allowed to breathe under PRS's V12 finish. This P245 is a fine example of why Paul Reed Smith is so well respected for the woods on their guitars.

PRS/LR Baggs piezo pickup system

The PRS/LR Baggs piezo pickup system onboard this guitar's adjustable hardtail bridge gives you access to natural acoustic tones. There are individual outputs that let you separate the piezo and magnetic pickup signals. A control knob blends the sound of this pickup with the P245's humbuckers when running mono from the magnetic pickup jack to dial in a woody and wide-ranging quality to your tone. The PRS/LR Baggs system is a favorite here at Sweetwater, and we're confident that this PRS P245 has the sounds you need.

58/15 pickups deliver sweetened humbucker sound

If you want to replicate the best, you should go right to the source. That's just what PRS did when they bought the same coil wire manufacturing machine that '50s-era guitar makers used to create some of the most iconic-sounding pickups in history. Paul Smith himself designed the 58/15 pickups to give you the sweetened sound you'd expect from real vintage humbuckers, ensuring that playing through your 58/15 pickups is a wonderful experience.

PRS P245 10-Top Solidbody Guitar Features:
  • A versatile solidbody guitar
  • Figured maple 10-Top and mahogany body
  • Top-quality hardware, inlays, and wood choice
  • Splittable 58/15 pickups deliver vintage humbucker sound
  • Clear acoustic tones via the PRS/LR Baggs pickup system
  • Discrete piezo output lets you send the acoustic sound individually
  • PRS's V12 finish feels like nitro and protects like acrylic
This PRS P245 artfully blends form and function.
