PRS Tremonti CT Thin Gen III Charcoal Contour Burst
Mark Tremonti is one of the leading rock guitarists. As the guitarist for Alter Bridge and Creed, he has enjoyed extraordinary success and continues to grow as a guitarist and songwriter. While Creed were touring in support of their first record, My Own Prison, Mark was contacted by PRS asking if he would like to try one of their guitars.
Tremonti; "I immediately came to the idea of playing one of PRS's guitars. PRS was one of those guitars that I could never afford in high school or college and that I always wanted to play." PRS sent Mark a McCarty model that he instantly fell in love with. He played that guitar exclusively for a while, but ultimately wanted a guitar that better suited his playing style.
Mark Tremonti began collaborating with PRS on his dream guitar that would soon become the Mark Tremonti Signature. He needed pickups that were a bit more aggressive and could complement his rhythm playing which has a lot of palm muting. The neck of the guitar had to match his style, influenced by thrash metal, shred and traditional blues. PRS met these needs with the Pattern Thin neckline.
