Description

The PRS SC-58 is a masterclass in craftsmanship and tone, perfectly blending classic aesthetics with modern performance features. Designed for the discerning guitarist, this solid body electric guitar is a tribute to the vintage-inspired singlecut style, boasting an Artist Grade Flame Maple top and rich mahogany back and neck. With its 24-1/2" scale length and Pattern neck shape, players will experience unparalleled comfort and playability, reminiscent of the iconic guitars crafted by Paul Reed Smith for legends like Santana and Frampton.

The SC-58 is equipped with PRS's renowned 57/08 humbucking pickups, delivering killer traditional tones that are both stage and studio-ready. Its innovative 2-piece adjustable bridge enhances resonance and sustain, offering a more musical instrument through increased contact points. The V12 finish, a product of over a decade of development, combines the best of both nitro and acrylic finishes, ensuring the SC-58's beauty and tone endure over time. Complemented by PRS locking tuners and elegant mother-of-pearl and Paua Heart bird inlays, this guitar is as visually striking as it is sonically impressive.
