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's been playing for years. Paul specified each and every aspect of this guitar, including its tonewood selections, Brushstroke Birds inlays, pickups, and Pattern neck shape. Get this guitar in your hands, and you'll feel the same vibe that inspires Paul to create these awesome instruments.
Solid mahogany crowned with a maple 10-Top
To give Paul's Guitar a rich yet balanced sound, PRS started 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 — they also make for one of the most beautiful instruments you'll find in the Sweetwater Guitar Gallery.
Custom-wound TCI pickups and switching
Paul's Guitar features a pair of amazing TCI (Tuned Capacitance and Inductance) pickups. The hot bridge pickup is perfect for deploying 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 coil-tapped tones from this guitar instantly — and use them in any combination. Best of all, there is no volume loss when engaging the coil tap.
