Paul's Guitar

Paul's Guitar is a stunning PRS solidbody electric guitar. With its gorgeous figured maple 10-Top, exclusive bird inlays, and TCI humbucking pickups, this guitar is the production version of Paul Reed Smith's Private Stock axe. Carrying on the Modern Eagle tradition, Paul specified every aspect of this marvelous instrument's design. From the selection of tonewoods, inlays, pickups, and neck profile; to the innovative stoptail bridge design and proprietary finish, this is truly Paul's Guitar, a sublime expression of the luthiers' art. Play a PRS with off-the-charts sound, playability, and looks: Paul's Guitar.

Every aspect of this guitar was specified by Paul

The aptly named PRS Paul's Guitar is essentially a production version of Paul's personal guitar that he has been playing for years. Paul specified every aspect of this guitar including its tonewood selections, Bird inlays, pickups, and Pattern neck shape. Get this guitar in your hands, and you'll be feeling the same vibe that inspires Paul to create these awesome instruments.

Solid mahogany topped with maple looks and sounds incredible

To give the PRS Paul's Guitar a rich, yet balanced sound, PRS began by choosing the tried-and-true combination of mahogany topped with figured maple. The mahogany body offers natural tonal warmth, which is offset perfectly by the brighter tone of its maple 10-Top. Together, these tonewoods give you an incredibly balanced sound — and one of the most beautiful instruments you'll find in the Sweetwater Guitar Gallery.

Custom-wound TCI pickups and switching provide endless tone

Paul's Guitar features a pair of amazing TCI (Tuned Capacitance and Inductance) pickups. The hot bridge pickup is perfect for deploying out leads infused with fat, snarling tone; back off your volume control and it cleans up beautifully. Switch to the neck pickup and hear every note articulated in a chord, even under heavy distortion. The pickups also have dedicated mini switches, so you can elicit spanky single-coil tones from this guitar instantly — and use them in any combination. Best of all, there is no volume loss when switching to single-coil mode.
