PRS Announces a New Variation on their 513 Rosewood Model
The 513 Rosewood has won the MIPA award for best electric guitar for the last two consecutive years. PRS is excited to introduce this same guitar with a mahogany neck, rosewood fretboard and a 10-top option named the 513. All other specifications remain the same.



PRS Guitars Proudly Introduces the Chris Henderson Signature Model
Chris Henderson has been using PRS guitars for many years while recording and touring with Three Doors Down. His exact guitar is now offered as the new Chris Henderson Signature Model. This Singlecut guitar is available with three humbucking pickups, flame maple top, 10-top flame or 10-top quilt. The electronics include a push/pull switch to activate the middle pickup. The pickups are 250 Treble and PRS #7 Bass with no cover. An adjustable stoptail and a special Chris Henderson truss rod cover are standard.


All New PRS Mark Tremonti Signature Model for 2007
Mark Tremonti’s well known Creed era and Alter Bridge guitar riffs were generated using PRS’ first installment of the Tremonti Signature Model. Mark’s ever evolving sound and technique gave rise to the need for a new guitar, and PRS is proud to introduce the all new Mark Tremonti Signature Model. This Singlecut model features a Tremonti wide-thin carved neck with mother of pearl bird inlays. It has a thick headstock and Phase II locking mini tuners. The big change is this instrument comes with a PRS Tremolo with a trem-up routing. It is offered in all the maple top finishes in both normal and 10 top flame and quilt options. The guitar also features Tremonti Treble and Bass pickups and a Tremonti truss rod cover.


PRS’ Singlecut – The SC 250
After years of feedback from PRS artists and players around the world, PRS Guitars has revamped their Singlecut model to the new SC 250. This guitar features new 250 Pickups, a thick headstock, adjustable PRS Stoptail, Phase II locking mini tuners, comes set up with .010 gauge strings and has an optional satin finish. These changes provide for thicker sound, power and more sustain for players looking for a more modern “rock” sound.


PRS Proudly Introduces the SC 245
The SC 245 is part of PRS’ new model offerings in 2007, appealing to those players looking for a more vintage look, sound and feel. This Singlecut model features a 24.5” scale length, a thin headstock, a non-adjustable stoptail and vintage style tuning pegs. Also featured are 245 Treble and Bass Pickups with scuffed nickel covers. The guitar is available in all maple top covers and options include 10-top flame or quilt or artist package flame.


The SE One
The SE One is another new offering from PRS in 2007, including a solid mahogany Singlecut body with a top carve unique to the model. The guitar features a solid mahogany set-in neck, moon inlays, PRS designed tuners and stoptail, a single soapbar pickup with just a volume control and a pickguard.



PRS Semi-Hollow SE Custom Option
The SE Custom Semi-Hollow is PRS’ very first semi-hollow SE model guitar. All of the same features of the SE Custom are now available in a light-weight semi-hollow package featuring a unique pallet of colors.
