Designed with meticulous attention to detail and crafted to celebrate PRS Guitars’ 40th Anniversary, this model is limited to only 150 pieces worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“When we released the Private Stock John McLaughlin Limited Edition in 2023, I was inspired by its exceptional sound and playability. For the Charcoal Phoenix, I wanted to create something equally remarkable but with a stoptail bridge. Using chaltecoco for the neck and ziricote for the fingerboard, I achieved an instrument that sustains beautifully and rings with clarity. The deep crimson back and the charcoal microburst top inspired the name ‘Charcoal Phoenix,’ evoking the imagery of a phoenix rising from fire and ashes.” – Paul Reed Smith\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the past year, Paul has road-tested this guitar, refining its design and tone. The result is an instrument that delivers aesthetic arrest and unparalleled performance. A visually stunning deep crimson back contrasts beautifully with the Private Stock-grade figured maple top in a charcoal microburst finish. The ripple abalone “Old School” bird inlays on the ziricote fingerboard add a touch of vintage elegance. The Charcoal Phoenix also features the newly updated PRS TCI pickups for 2025 and EQ mini-toggle switches. The TCI pickups are crafted with American Alnico magnets and slightly modified winding, wiring, and electronics specifications. These pickups have a clear, beautiful tone based on Paul’s experience playing this guitar live and in the studio for more than a year. The EQ mini-toggles act as tuned high-pass filters when engaged, removing shelved low end and allowing the high frequencies through for more clarity and musical highs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduced on Paul Reed Smith’s birthday, the PRS Charcoal Phoenix Limited Edition is part of PRS Guitars 40th Anniversary celebration. Only 150 of these instruments will be available. Hand-signed 40th Anniversary certificate included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__description\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSPECS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: 7.6 lbs \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCase: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePRS ATA Multi-Fit Molded Case, D1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBody Construction: Solidbody\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTop Wood: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePrivate Stock Grade Figured Maple\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBack Wood: \"Fat Back\" Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTop Carve: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eViolin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNumber of Frets: 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScale Length: 25\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeck Wood: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eChaltecoco\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeck Construction: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eOne-Piece\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTruss Rod: PRS Double-Acting\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeck Shape: Pattern\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eNeck Depth at the 1\/2 Fret: 7\/8\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeck Depth at the 12 1\/2 Fret: 61\/64\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeck Width at the Nut: 1 11\/16\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeck Width at the Body: 2 1\/4\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFretboard Wood: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eZiricote\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFretboard Radius: 10\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFretboard Inlay: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eRippled Abalone \"Old School\" Birds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eHeadstock Veneer: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eZiricote\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeadstock Logo: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eRippled Abalone Pre-Factory Eagle\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeck\/Body Assembly Type: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFinish Type: High-Gloss Nitro\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBridge: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePRS Stoptail with Brass Inserts and Steel Studs\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTuners: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePRS Phase III Non-Locking Tuners with Wing Buttons\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardware Type: Nickel\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNut: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBone\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTruss Rod Cover: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\"40th Charcoal Phoenix\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTreble Pickup: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eTCI\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBass Pickup: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eTCI\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eControls:\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eVolume and Tone Control with 3-way Toggle Pickup Switch and Two Mini-Toggle EQ Switches\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrings: PRS Signature 10-46\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTuning: Standard (6 String): E, A, D, G, B, E\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSETUP \u0026amp; INSPECTED BY OUR TECH TEAM\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll of our guitars come with a FREE professional setup to a comfortable action as specified by that instrument’s manufacturer.
