New Paul Reed Smith "Singlecut"
Guitar
February 3, 2000
PRS Guitars introduces the PRS "Singlecut", the
first ever production single cutaway solid body electric from PRS Guitars.
The Singlecut features classic PRS construction and build quality, with a
full depth mahogany body and carved, figured maple top. The body is 2.3 inches
deep carved out to 1.9 inches at the rims. The 22 fret mahogany neck is glued
into the body via a graceful curved heel allowing full fret access without weakening
the neck joint.
Hardware includes the tried and tested PRS Stoptail wrapover bridge and nickel
covered Dragon 2000 humbuckers.
Asked why the company had decided to make a single cutaway guitar founder
Paul Smith said, "I have always wanted to make a single cutaway guitar".
Indeed, the very first guitar Smith made as a school wood shop project had a single
cutaway. Marketing Director Doug Chandler added, "The single cutaway solid
electric is an industry standard. Now our customers can buy this type of instrument
with the build quality they have come to expect from PRS".
All of the traditional PRS options are available on the Singlecut, including
Bird inlays, highly figured "10" tops and the famous rainbow of transluscent
finishes. List price including hardshell case is $3000.00.For release in all media
one month prior to LA NAMM 2000.
