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 chose and specified every aspect of this guitar including its tonewood selections, the Artist Grade figured maple top, birds 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 amazing instruments.
Solid mahogany topped with maple looks and sounds amazing
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. And this isn't just any piece of maple — this is an Artist Grade flame maple top chosen for its incredible depth and visual charm. The mahogany body offers natural tonal warmth, which is offset perfectly by the brighter tone of its maple 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 408 pickups and switching provide endless tone
When PRS released their Signature Limited model, everyone who got a chance to check out the new 408 pickups was absolutely blown away. But true to his perfectionist nature, Paul Reed Smith continued to tweak these 100% proprietary pickups to perfection. In fact, he discovered that by tightening up the pickup field on a 408 Bass pickup, he was actually able to create an even better-sounding treble pickup. The PRS Paul's Guitar electric guitar features a pair of these amazing 408 pickups. But it doesn't stop there. These amazing pickups also have dedicated mini-switches, so you can shift to the timeless single-coil sound instantaneously. Best of all, there is no volume loss when switching to single-coil mode.
