Paul Reed Smith PRS Charcoal Phoenix Limited Edition

The PRS Charcoal Phoenix Limited Edition is a celebration of craftsmanship and innovation, marking PRS Guitars’ 40th Anniversary with only 150 pieces available worldwide. Designed by Paul Reed Smith himself, this guitar reflects his personal preferences as both a guitar maker and player. Featuring a Private Stock-grade figured maple top in a mesmerizing charcoal microburst finish and a deep crimson back, it is both visually striking and tonally impressive. The neck, crafted from chaltecoco, provides exceptional sustain, while the ziricote fingerboard adorned with ripple abalone “Old School” bird inlays adds a touch of elegance and vintage charm.

Equipped with the updated PRS TCI pickups for 2025, this guitar delivers clear, articulate tones with the help of American Alnico magnets and refined winding and wiring specifications. EQ mini-toggle switches act as tuned high-pass filters, allowing high frequencies to shine through while reducing low-end mud for enhanced clarity and musicality. With a stoptail bridge for stability and resonance, this guitar is as reliable as it is breathtaking. Weighing 8 lbs. 5 oz., the Charcoal Phoenix has been road-tested by Paul Reed Smith over the past year, ensuring unparalleled performance for both live and studio use. A hand-signed 40th Anniversary certificate is included with each guitar, solidifying its place as a collector’s item.
