Full Description
View Full DescriptionFocussed, versatile sound
The 408 showcases a great leap forward for PRS in pickup design. Uniquely wound, with a heap of tonal options at your disposal - the 408 pickups stem back from experimentation in the early 1980's. A narrowly wound bass pickup promotes much more focus in your bass notes, while the widening of the treble pickup maintains a much greater sound field for more freedom in your tone customisation. That's not even mentioning the two coil-tap switches, which enable you to alternate between humbucker and single-coil tones for a sonic palette that can't be competed with. Exceptional clarity and articulation comes under the signature quality of PRS. What else did you expect from the most dedicated luthiers in the industry?
Play without limits
Ultimately, a guitar should spark creativity – not restrict it. Which is why every aspect of the 408 is constructed with playability in mind. Experience easy transitions across the entirety of the fretboard thanks to an ultra-smooth rosewood surface. It's combined with a sleek mahogany neck that fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, entailing endless hours of comfortable practice and performance.
