A warm voiced cutaway for fingerstyle and strumming players who want an easy move from rehearsal to stage. Mahogany tops sound mellower, so players chasing bright sparkle should try spruce.

Overview
Not a spruce topped guitar, this PRS uses mahogany for the top, back and neck to give an organic, warm voice. Its Angelus cutaway eases upper fret reach, and a Fishman undersaddle pickup with a soundhole preamp handles the stage.
Warmth and comfort lead: the all mahogany body softens the top end, and the cutaway makes fingerstyle and lead lines easier. The same warmth means less shimmer than a spruce top for bright strumming.
Who it's for
Players who perform plugged in and want a mellow, focused voice with a comfortable body. Those after a bright bluegrass style sound should look at spruce.
Pros and cons
- Warm mahogany voice
- Cutaway for upper fret access
- Soundhole volume and tone controls
- Ebony fretboard and bridge
- Less sparkle than spruce tops
- Gig bag, not a hard case
- Scale length and nut width not listed
Performance notes
Voice comes from the mahogany top, which favors mids over treble, and the hybrid bracing lets that top vibrate freely for volume. Plugged in, the undersaddle pickup feeds a soundhole mounted preamp with controls placed within reach.
