PRS Myles Kennedy Signature - Antique Natural with Gig Bag
PRS Myles Kennedy Signature: Crafted for Versatility and Power
Introducing Myles Kennedy?s first signature model. Known for his work in Alter Bridge, Slash and the Conspirators, and his own solo recordings, Kennedy is an accomplished guitarist who brings blues and jazz style to rock guitar playing. This new signature model mirrors Kennedy?s rock sensibilities with a nod to historic designs. While the aesthetic may have players hearing chicken pickin? in their heads ? and this guitar can certainly reach twang territory ? it is made to play like a rock machine.
Inspired Design and Modern Playability
The PRS Myles Kennedy signature guitar features a swamp ash body, a 22-fret, 25.5-inch scale length maple neck with maple fretboard, and two PRS Narrowfield MK pickups. These pickups were carefully voiced to capture the courage of humbuckers and the spank of single coils. PRS Narrowfields provided the perfect starting point for this design, with their ability to deliver thick single-coil sounds without the hum. These pickups are paired with a 5-way blade switch and a push/pull tone control that acts as a preset tone roll-off, bringing down the higher frequencies on the treble pickup so you can dig in to the fullest.
Exceptional Tone and Versatile Electronics
The Narrowfield MK pickups are designed to provide a balance between humbucking and single-coil sounds, allowing for versatile tones suitable for various genres. The 5-way blade switch and push/pull tone control offer a wide range of tonal possibilities, from crisp and clear single-coil sounds to rich and powerful humbucking tones. This guitar is anchored by a PRS plate-style steel bridge, vintage-style locking tuners, and a bone nut, ensuring stable tuning and reliable performance.
Unique Features and Signature Aesthetic
Other features include Kennedy?s ?Geometric Owl? logo from his ?Ides of March? solo release, representing wisdom and adaptability. The PRS Myles Kennedy signature guitar is crafted with attention to detail and precision, making it a highly desirable instrument for players of all levels. The flat top carve of the swamp ash body and the vintage-style locking tuners add to its unique aesthetic and functionality.
