Has been using this for a while now. Can be seen in multiple live pictures and in the YouTube video for their latest song release "Let's Talk About Menkata Cottelee". Has the stock bridge pickup switched out.
"I've got a white PRS Singlecut that I've had for coming on eight years now. At the time that I got it, PRS didn't make white Singlecuts, so they refinished a blue one for me. For some reason that guitar sounds head and shoulders better than any other guitar I've ever owned or played. We also used a Fender Telecaster, a Gibson Les Paul and [Japanese brand] Nil Monstage for some of the lead work. 90% of the tracking was done with that white PRS, though. We had 16/17 guitars in the studio and it just absolutely destroyed every single one of them."
We can see that he used a PRS SC250 in white.
