From Paul Reed Smith:

I dont just like the newest version of my guitar, I love it. With these new pickups, I can move from a strong bridge pickup to a very clear, whoopy neck pickup you can hear every note by just setting the mini-toggles and using the 3-way as normal. Its a highly musical and very usable setup. This guitar has clear, spanky single coils when you split the pickups but a very full soapbar quality when they are in humbucking mode. Its just beautiful. – Paul Reed Smith

“Historically, the Pauls Guitar (like the Modern Eagle before it) has been a realization of Paul Reed Smiths latest discoveries surrounding tone. Paul specified every appointment of this instrument from the wood selection and inlay design to the pickups. This revamped model represents Pauls vision not only as a guitar maker but as a guitar player who needs versatile stage – and studio-ready gear that can achieve all the right tones. As a man who has every option available to him, Pauls personal design choices include mahogany bodies with maple tops, Honduran rosewood fretboards, Nitrocellulose finishes, Brushstroke bird inlays, and narrow pickup bobbins. The Pauls Guitar model also includes PRSs TCI (Tuned Capacitance and Inductance) treble and bass pickups with two mini-toggle switches that allow players to put either or both pickups in either humbucking or true single coil mode.”
