2024 PRS Modern Eagle V - Yellow Tiger

The PRS Modern Eagle V represents the absolute pinnacle of the Core lineup, a true "desert island" guitar designed for the player who needs every tone imaginable in a single, flawlessly crafted instrument. Built on the legacy of Paul Reed Smith's relentless pursuit of perfection, this model combines the best of traditional tonewoods with ultra-modern electronics. The foundation is a classic recipe: a resonant mahogany back paired with a stunning maple top, providing that familiar warmth and snap that has defined rock and blues for decades. The Pattern mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard offer the comfortable, played-in feel that PRS is famous for, making it effortless to navigate across all 22 frets.

What truly sets the Modern Eagle V apart is its electronic wizardry. It features a Hum/Single/Hum configuration utilizing TCI (Tuned Capacitance and Inductance) humbuckers and a distinct NS-01 single-coil in the middle position. This isn't just a guitar; it's a mixing board for your hands. With a 5-way blade switch, coil-split mini-toggles, and a push/pull tone knob that engages both humbuckers simultaneously, you have access to a vast palette of sounds—from biting single-coil funk to thick, soaring lead tones. Whether you are chasing the sonic footprint of session legends or carving out your own path, the Modern Eagle V is a masterpiece of innovation and tradition.
