PRS Singlecut Trem review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The PRS Singlecut Tremolo stands out as a versatile modern guitar that caters to a wide range of players. Its reduced bulk and vibrato bridge offer a unique resonance, making it feel distinct from the original Singlecut. However, it sacrifices some low-end richness, which might disappoint those who favor a fuller sound. While the tonal variety is impressive, especially in split-coil mode, it doesn't quite match the organic depth of its predecessor. Overall, it's an engaging instrument that combines classic aesthetics with innovative features, though purists might find it lacking in certain tonal aspects.

Steven Wilson has used at least three PRS Singlecut Tremolo models throughout his career.

His first Singlecut was a black model, used on the Arriving Somewhere... live album and video. It was tuned to E Standard while his Custom 22 was used for Drop D tuning on that recording. It can be seen clearly in this performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5nAA_QXBPY It can also be seen as a backup in the 2023 rig tour by Thomann here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHhM4TUtJzg (at 17:48)

He then switched to a gold top model, which he continues to use today. This was first seen tuned to E Standard on the Anesthetize live album and video. He continued to use it through his solo career and with Porcupine Tree on the Closure/Continuation album and tour. It can be seen in the following rig rundown videos, from his 2013 and 2019 solo tours and the 2023 Porcupine Tree tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iv753X9q_x0 (at 18:36) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqXkKLtNysw (at 6:18) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHhM4TUtJzg (at 16:17)

Finally, Steven uses a red model for Drop C tuning (specifically on Anesthetize) and later for Drop B tuning (Harridan's middle section). This can be seen in the live video for Anesthetize from the recording of the same name here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgwgtERCVI4 As well as in the 2023 rundown of Porcupine Tree's equipment from Thomann here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHhM4TUtJzg (at 16:37) And finally in the live performance of Harridan here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pavnAi7lNk (at 3:16)
