When is a T-style guitar not a T-style guitar? Watch on the company’s new hybrid model pushes the limits of traditional design.
The latest edition features P-90 pickups, TUSQ XL nut, and a solid mahogany body.
Vancouver, BC (October 24, 2016) -- Prestige Guitars Ltd. is proud to announce the official launch of the Premier Zebrawood. The Zebrawood is the latest addition to our Premier Series of guitars, which also includes the Premier Spalt, Premier Burl, and Flame Maple Premier P-90. The Zebrawood features a solid mahogany body with stunning, 3/4" solid carved Zebrawood top. The guitar is finished in natural gloss to show off every inch of gorgeous, unique figuring. The Heritage Premier series is the evolution in our Heritage Series of solid body electrics and the top of the Prestige line.
The Premier Zebrawood boasts a killer combo of solid carved Zebrawood top and natural finish, allowing every inch of gorgeous wood grain to show through. Each Premier Zebrawood features a hand-selected slab of solid, highly figured Zebrawood for its 3/4" carved top. The balance of the body is solid Mahogany. The neck is comprised of three pieces of solid mahogany, with the centre piece reverse-grained, for greater stability. The C-Shaped neck starts with a 1 11/16" TUSQ XL nut and maintains a 14" radius throughout the length. This is topped off with an ebony fingerboard, featuring mother of pearl and abalone fret markers and modern jumbo, Nickel-Silver frets. Standard hardware includes all-gold TonePros locking bridge and saddle and 18:1 Grover Tuners. The Zebrawood will feature a set of Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates pickups, which are an Alnico 2 humbucker, packing tons of focused midrange but with a unique sizzle and growl all their own. The Prestige design team hand selected the Pearly Gates as a near perfect compliment to the natural tone of Zebrawood. The pair creates a perfect balance to cover everything from country and classic rock, to heavy blues and modern rock.

The first new models in Prestige Guitars Legacy Series will be unveiled at Summer NAMM 2016 in Nashville.
Vancouver, BC (June 25, 2016) -- Prestige Guitars is proud to announce the launch of The Legacy Series Acoustic Guitar Line. The first new models in The Legacy Series will be unveiled at Summer NAMM 2016 in Nashville and will include 3 OM guitars. The new models will each feature a different tonewood combo for the back and sides as follows: The Legacy Spruce Mahogany OM features a Tobacco Burst spruce top with Khaya mahogany back and sides, the Legacy Spruce Rosewood OM features a natural spruce top with Indian rosewood back and sides and the Legacy Koa OM features a Hawaiian koa top, back, and sides. As with the Prestige Eclipse Series, the Legacy Series guitars will be handbuilt in small batches using only hand selected, pressure tested solid wood, scalloped Adirondack spruce bracing, carved mahogany necks, ebony bridges, bone nut and saddle, and 21:1 Gotoh 510 Tuners. Full Specs for each of the three new Legacy models are listed below.
“With 5 years under our belt with our Award-Winning Eclipse Acoustic Line, we couldn’t wait to expand our offerings to the acoustic market. Our Eclipse line has been very successful both with professional and non-professional players and has found its way into the hands of a number of well-known musicians, becoming their acoustic mainstay, like Eric Bass of Shinedown, Cory Churko of Shania Twain and Todd Kerns of Slash. The new Legacy series harkens a vintage feel, with a modern twist. The use of herring bone and tortoise binding and new finishes, such as our new tobacco burst model gives the Legacy Series guitars a dressed down and subtly understated look, but with every high-end appointment one could expect in a boutique hand-built acoustic guitar. We can’t wait to get these out and into the hands of Prestige fans.” – Adrian O’Brien, VP Marketing – Prestige Guitars.
