Press release
Source: PRS Guitars

After more than a year of collaboration with one of Nashville's hottest guitar players, PRS Guitars is proud to introduce the Johnny Hiland Model. Johnny and PRS have teamed up to create an instrument that satisfies Johnny's demanding style and extraordinary technique and produces tones covering a wide range of musical styles, including country.

The PRS Johnny Hiland model features a 24 fret bolt-on maple neck carved to his specifications. The instrument has a mahogany back with a highly flamed maple top, two very special Hiland humbucking pickups, a 3-way blade switch and a tone control with a push/pull coil tap that taps the neck pickup. The fingerboard inlays are specially designed black dots and a PRS Modern Eagle at the 12th fret. The Johnny Hiland model is available in most translucent PRS colors.
