Paul Reed Smith Modern Eagle V - Dark Cherry Sunburst with Hard Shell Case

The PRS Modern Eagle V - Unparalleled Tonal Versatility with Timeless Craftsmanship

A Core Model with Private Stock DNA

The PRS Modern Eagle V makes its long-awaited debut in the PRS Core lineup, bringing with it a legacy of high-end craftsmanship and tonal innovation. Previously available only through the Private Stock and Wood Library programs, this model blends cutting-edge electronics with the finest tonewoods, offering players an exceptionally versatile and premium instrument. Whether you need pristine single-coil clarity, powerful humbucker tones, or quacky in-between sounds, the Modern Eagle V provides an expansive tonal range to inspire any musical style.

Premium Tonewoods for a Refined Sonic Foundation

While this guitar is packed with modern features, its mahogany body and maple top stay true to classic electric guitar design. The lightweight mahogany body provides warmth and midrange presence, while the maple top adds definition, sustain, and a crisp, articulate high-end. This classic combination is favored by guitarists who want depth and resonance without losing clarity, making the Modern Eagle V a perfect blend of tradition and innovation.

Five-Coil Pickup System for Unlimited Tonal Options

At first glance, the Modern Eagle V appears to feature a standard HSH pickup configuration, but under the hood lies an incredibly versatile five-coil system:

Dual TCI Humbuckers (Bridge & Neck): These pickups consist of two independent single-coil pickups each, which can be split or combined using the dedicated mini-toggle switches. This provides a seamless balance between humbucker power and single-coil sparkle without volume loss.
Middle Position NS-01 Single-Coil: This true single-coil pickup delivers bright, bell-like tones and adds extra dimension to the five-way blade switch's tonal palette.
Mini-Toggle Coil Splits: With the flick of a switch, transform the TCI humbuckers into vintage-style single-coils, maintaining clarity and dynamic response.

With multiple pickup combinations, the Modern Eagle V effortlessly shifts between vintage blues, articulate funk, thick rock tones, and modern fusion sounds.

Comfortable and Fast-Playing PRS Pattern Neck

The mahogany neck is carved into PRS's Pattern profile, a refined evolution of their classic Wide Fat shape. Designed for fluid playability, this neck profile is substantial yet incredibly comfortable, allowing for effortless movement across the 22 nickel frets on the rosewood fingerboard. The 10-inch radius ensures a natural feel for both chording and soloing, making it a joy to play in any style.

Rock-Solid PRS Hardware for Superior Stability

Equipped with the PRS Gen III Tremolo, the Modern Eagle V delivers ultra-smooth action while always returning to pitch, making it perfect for expressive vibrato and dynamic lead playing. Paired with PRS Phase III Locking Tuners, this guitar provides exceptional tuning stability, ensuring that every note stays in tune no matter how aggressively you play.

Dark Cherry Sunburst Finish for a Timeless Look

Topping off its incredible craftsmanship and electronics, the Modern Eagle V features a stunning Dark Cherry Sunburst finish in gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, allowing the beauty of the figured maple top to shine through. Classic PRS bird inlays add an elegant finishing touch to this already exquisite instrument.
