PRS Modern Eagle II Review - Premier Guitar

premierguitar.com

The PRS Modern Eagle II is the epitome of luxury and performance in a guitar. With its stunning curly maple top and meticulous craftsmanship, it’s not just a pretty face but a tonal powerhouse. The 1957/2008 pickups deliver a rich, clear sound that rivals the classic PAFs, with added beef and clarity. This guitar's build quality is unmatched, offering perfect intonation and a neck that feels just right. While the $7000 price tag is steep, the attention to detail and killer tone make it worth the investment. However, the loose volume pot could be a minor annoyance. Overall, this guitar is highly regarded and a worthy splurge for discerning players.

I had never seen anything that was this well-made in my life. The longer I played it, the more it aged. The thing was growing with me, and you're like, this thing was meant to stand the test of time. There's something about the natural order of things and tension creating beauty that computers cannot figure out.
