PRS Myles Kennedy Electric Guitar, Tricolor Sunburst

The PRS Myles Kennedy, taking its namesake from the legendary modern rock guitarist, embodies the spirit of Kennedy’s innovative playing and PRS’s eye for craftsmanship. Between these two spaces, this signature PRS comes alive as a strikingly modern instrument with nods to time-tested specs of generations past.

Myles Kennedy can probably best be identified by his work with Alter Bridge, Slash and the Conspirators, and his own solo work. The common thread present in all three projects is his blues and jazz-infused style playing to traditional rock music. For fans of Kennedy seeking a similar tonal territory to explore, this PRS signature has it all.

The signature guitar begins with a swamp ash body featuring an easy single-cutaway design. This body is matched with a bolt-on maple neck in a PRS “Myles Kennedy” profile. Inspiring fast trips up and down the 25.5-inch scale length, this neck is smooth, ready for action, and is only bolstered by its combination to a twenty-two-fret maple fingerboard. This board is adorned with PRS Birds inlays to ensure that added element of PRS authenticity. The body and neck are outfitted with high-gloss and satin finishes, respectively.

Coming together as a main attraction of the instrument are a pair of PRS Narrowfield MK pickups. These pickups, inspired by Kennedy’s loyalty to both pickup designs throughout his career, deliver a balance of tonality between the bite of humbuckers and the snap of single-coils. PRS prides themselves on these pickups and their absence of hum. These pickups are paired with a dedicated push/pull tone control that further expands on the sonic soundscapes this guitar has to offer. For taking on the boldest of musical endeavors, there are simply few pickups like them.

Further appointments to this guitar include some dynamite additions for tuning stability and intonation. A PRS Plate-Style bridge made of steel grounds the intonation of this guitar for exceptional tonal fidelity. This bridge is matched with a set of PRS Vintage-Style Locking tuners that line the iconic PRS headstock. Between these two setups, the extra care given to ensuring a stable playing and stringing experience is evident on this Myles Kennedy signature.

For fans of Kennedy or dynamic guitar design, this is an instrument for exploring one’s own musical Everests and ensuring a reliable experience time after time.
