Paul Reed Smith Modern Eagle V - Wood Library - Copperhead Burst with Brazilian Rosewood Fretboard and Hard Shell Case

The Paul Reed Smith Modern Eagle V - Wood Library - A masterfully built tone machine with premium tonewoods and studio-grade electronics

Premium tonewoods for stunning resonance and feel

This Modern Eagle V from the Paul Reed Smith Wood Library is a true showcase of high-end craftsmanship and exotic materials. The guitar features a figured Flame Maple 10-Top finished in a sleek Copperhead Burst satin finish, paired with a back made of African Mahogany for a balanced tonal foundation. The neck is carved from genuine mahogany and topped with a beautifully dark Brazilian Rosewood fretboard and matching headstock veneer—both rare tonewoods known for their sustain, clarity, and luxurious feel.

Precision neck design and elegant appointments

The Pattern neck carve offers a comfortably familiar grip for most players, while the 10” fretboard radius and 25” scale length make for effortless playability across the entire neck. The fretboard is adorned with PRS’s signature J-Bird inlays, each featuring sparkle abalone outlines and mother of pearl centers for a stunning visual touch. Side dots in alternate ivory and vintage ivory acrylic headstock inlays tie the aesthetic together in true PRS style.

Versatile pickup configuration for modern players

At the heart of the Modern Eagle V is a specially configured set of PRS TCI pickups in the neck and bridge, complemented by a narrow MEV single-coil in the middle position. This setup is routed through a sophisticated control array—volume and tone knobs, a 5-way blade switch, and two mini-toggles—offering a wealth of tonal options that cover everything from classic single-coil sparkle to thick humbucker punch. Whether you're recording, gigging, or just exploring your sound, this guitar delivers.

Professional-grade hardware and build quality

This Modern Eagle V is equipped with PRS’s Gen-3 tremolo system in smoked black, providing rock-solid tuning stability and smooth vibrato action. The Phase 3.2 locking tuners with black wing buttons keep your tuning dialed in while adding a subtle touch of style. A wide/tall bone nut, black lampshade knobs, and black anodized aluminum truss rod cover (etched with “Modern Eagle V”) round out the premium hardware setup.

Exclusive case and hand-selected finishes

Each guitar in this Wood Library run was hand-selected and built exclusively for Five Star Guitars, and this one includes a deluxe black paisley hardshell case shaped to fit its double-cut silhouette. The Copperhead Burst finish is only one of several custom color options from this limited production, ensuring that your instrument is not only a sonic powerhouse but a visual standout as well.
