Personal Thoughts:
The early PRS Singlecut models like this 2003 example have become highly collectible — representing the period before PRS retooled the model following the Gibson lawsuit. These guitars are prized for their impeccable build quality, solid tonewoods, and unmistakable sustain.
Finished in McCarty Sunburst, this example features a beautifully carved flame maple top with a rich vintage glow. The Wide Fat neck profile offers a substantial, classic feel — perfect for players who like a bit of grip and resonance in their hands.
Tonally, the PRS 7 humbuckers deliver articulate, full-bodied tone with that signature PRS clarity and warmth. Combined with the stoptail bridge, this guitar resonates superbly and sustains endlessly. It’s a fantastic choice for players chasing that blend of Les Paul-style thickness with PRS precision and refinement.
The 25" scale length makes it slightly snappier and more versatile than its Gibson counterparts — offering a tighter low end, glassier highs, and better tuning stability across alternate tunings.
A true modern classic and a key piece of PRS history.
Condition Report:
Very good condition overall. A few small impressions and light signs of play on the top and back consistent with age. Frets show minor wear but remain excellent. Hardware shows light tarnishing. Supplied with the original PRS hard case.
