Press Release - PRS is proud to offer anew voice with the 408 MT and 408 Standard. These inspiring newinstruments, offered in both maple top (MT) and all mahogany(Standard) configurations, bring the versatility and voicing of PRSGuitar's proprietary Signature/408 pickups (previously featured onthe Private Stock Signature and the Signature Limited Edition) toPRS's Core line.
PRS 408 pickups were designed to extend the guitar's tonalspectrum by narrowing the field of the bass pickup to increase itsfocus and widening the field of the treble pickup to increase itssound field (hence their asymmetric appearance). This pickupconfiguration (comprised of four coils and offering eight sounds)stems back to Paul's experimentation on the Sorcerer's Apprenticeguitars in the early 1980's. Thanks to the simple butversatile switching system featuring mini-toggle switches thatprovide numerous combinations of humbucking and singlecoil tones,the 408 Maple Top and Standard provide stunning articulation andmusical clarity.
Additional specification include a 25" scale length, 22-fretPattern or Pattern Thin mahogany neck (rosewood neck option) withrosewood fretboard, bird inlays (moons optional), PRS Phase IIItuners, PRS Tremolo (stoptail option), and nickel hardware withgold or hybrid option.
