Untold Origins: PRS Modern Eagle V & the Engine of Innovation

For casual and dedicated fans of PRS guitars, the Modern Eagle series has been revered for its unbridled commitment to premium craftsmanship, serving as a flagship model for the uncompromising ethos of Paul Reed Smith’s work. Now that it’s reached its fifth iteration — the Modern Eagle V — and become a bona fide member of their Core series of instruments, we found ourselves wondering about what really defines the Modern Eagle, how this entry differs from its predecessors, and what it means to the company’s history. As it turns out, the history of the Modern Eagle is far more nuanced than you might think, playing an integral role in shaping the identity and output of the entire PRS brand. Don Carr gets into the details with Paul Reed Smith himself to unravel the untold story behind the Modern Eagle: everything you never knew and why it will always matter. Check it out!
