Innovation Realized
The Modern Eagle V is an innovative instrument that offers highly musical tones for
both recording and playing live. Utilizing a hum/single/hum (five-coil) pickup layout
and unique electronics configuration, the Modern Eagle V gives players a vast array of
tones in one guitar. The 5-way blade switch selects the pickups in intuitive groupings:
treble, treble and middle, middle, middle and bass, and bass. There is a single volume
and a push/pull tone control that activates both humbuckers when engaged; this allows players to access all three pickups simultaneously. Finally, the mini toggles allow
players to individually separate the humbucker coils, turning the outside pickups into
true single coils. This electronics design puts a whole set of classic and new tones at
your fingertips.
Additional appointments include a maple top and mahogany back, a 22 fret, 25” scale
length, Pattern mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard, bone nut, and PRS patented
Gen III tremolo.
“Modern Eagle models have always been built to stand up to history while celebrating
tonewoods and the discovery of new tones. The Modern Eagle V is a sophisticated
instrument not only in its craftsmanship but in its electronic and mechanical design,”
said Paul Reed Smith. “We’ve refined the pickup tones and are pleased to now add it to
the Core lineup.”
