Player's Perspective
Music Store Live is proud to present this 2013 PRS 408 Maple Top 10 Top! An instrument of this precision and quality ignites musical ideas in a way that other guitars simply don't. The tone is everything you'd expect from PRS, which means that this guitar doesn't sound quite like any other. It's round and warm without being too boomy in the low end, and the mid-range and highs bloom with a definition that cuts through at high volumes without loosing depth. The neck is a treat to play - think effortless bends and no speed limit. The body has a bell-like resonance that is very hard to come across on a solidbody electric. Virtually any style of music will benefit from the wide tonal spectrum and versatility of this instrument. Check it out in the clip below, which takes a look at the all-mahogany Standard model.
Item Details
This PRS 408, finished in Makena Blue, features one of the best 10-tops we have in stock. The markings are taut and crisp with no bizarre patterns or anything that juts out at strange angles. The wood is somehow balanced, elegant and badass at the same time. The body is made of reliable, tone-efficient mahogany. The Pattern Thin neck on this guitar is a treat. It's made entirely of Brazilian Rosewood, which has a natural feel and sounds incredible. The electronics on this guitar are unique. The neck pickup is a bit slimmer than a standard 408 humbucker, and the bridge pickup is a bit fatter. The result is an increased tonal spectrum in the bridge with a tighter low in the neck end and more articulate highs throughout. A mini-toggle coil tap for each of these unique pickups provides sparkling, vocal like tone. PRS Phase III locking tuners and the PRS tremolo ensure tuning stability no matter what. The PRS 408 is an exquisite, tonally liberated guitar with its own personality and a top worth showing off.
