PRS GUITARS REVEALS ITS CORE AND S2 SERIES ELECTRIC GUITAR 2017 LINE

Highlights include the new Santana Retro, a version of the American company’s longest running signature series, the Santana.

 

 

The Santana Retro pays tribute to the original guitars that Paul Smith built for the virtuosic guitarist in the early 1980s. Many of the original design elements have been reintroduced for the 2017 version, including a deep body carve, the original headstock shape and nut placement.

 

 

The Singlecut McCarty 594 is a single cutaway version of the guitar they launched in 2016. Described by the company as embodying ‘vintage tone and feel while incorporating modern manufacturing techniques that deliver superior playability’, the Singlecut is sure to be well received.

 

 

The 509 is a new model, designed to add versatility to the PRS Core line. It has five single coil pickups, with the outside four coils grouped together as humbuckers. Featuring an innovative five-way switch, the 509 is able to provide a diverse amount of humbucker, single coil and blended tones. As pointed out by Guitar World, the 509 is essentially a combination of the company’s 513 and 408 models, which is definitely a good thing.
