PRS Guitars Introduces New “Stripped” 58 Model

The “Stripped” 58 is a no-frills take on the company’s popular SC 58 model



Stevensville, MD (June 7, 2012) – Originally offered as a limited run for Experience PRS 2011, the “Stripped” 58 is now available as part of Paul Reed Smith Guitars’ Core lineup. The “Stripped” 58 is a no-frills take on the company’s popular SC 58 model, which won the Musikmesse International Press Award (mipa) for “Best Electric Guitar 2011/2012” earlier this year, and maintains that instrument’s classic, resonant voice that is eminently recordable and gig ready.

The “Stripped” 58 is a vintage-inspired instrument that is perfect for more traditional single-cutaway style players and is also instantly comfortable to musicians who grew up playing short scale guitars. Specifications include a curly maple top (with 10-top option), mahogany back, 24.5” scale length, 22 fret mahogany “Pattern” neck with rosewood fretboard, dot inlays (with bird option), 57/08 treble and bass pickups with volume and tone control for each pickup and a 3-way toggle on the upper bout. This guitar also features PRS’s two piece bridge, which has added weight and mass, creating more contact points that, in turn, create a more resonant, musical instrument.

Hope this includes a no-frills price tag as well. I love PRS guitars but refuse to buy one because IMHO they are outrageously overpriced. I know they sound, play and look great but to me the difference isn't worth twice the price of a custom shop LP OR Strat. I play professionally but am not rich and even if I were, I'd still really have a hard time paying SO MUCH MORE for a PRS.

Haha, yeah I find them annoying also, especially the new ones, empty inside. Great instrument, but sometimes...In general - the "beautiful" nowadays guitars do look a bit like Napoleon coffee table, don't they? It's like when you say "what a beautiful sunset" somebody says "yeah, i know, i have a big poster of it in my dining room"...
