PRS Myles Kennedy Signature Electric Guitar in Black

Known as the frontman for Alter Bridge and Slash & The Conspirators, Myles Kennedy is an accomplished guitarist who brings his soulful blues and smooth jazz style into the rock guitar realm. Kennedy's PRS signature model mirrors his rock sensibilities with a nod to historic designs. While the aesthetic may have players hearing chicken pickin' in their heads (and this guitar can certainly reach "twang" territory), it is made to play like a pure rock machine!

The PRS Myles Kennedy signature guitar features a Swamp Ash body, a 22-fret, 25.5" scale length Maple neck, and two PRS Narrowfield MK pickups. These particular Narrowfields were carefully voiced to capture both the courage of humbuckers and the spank of single-coils — all in a single design. PRS Narrowfields provided the perfect starting point, with their ability to deliver thick single-coil sounds without the hum. These pickups are paired with a 5-way blade switch and a push/pull tone control that acts as a preset tone roll-off — bringing down the higher frequencies on the treble pickup so that you can dig in to the fullest.

Other features include a PRS plate-style steel bridge, vintage-style locking tuners, a bone nut, and Kennedy's "Geometric Owl" logo from his The Ides of March solo release on the truss rod cover — representing wisdom and adaptability.

Paul Reed Smith on the PRS Myles Kennedy:

"I watched Myles throughout his career alternate between humbucking and single-coil sounds without giving anything up on either side. These pickups took us months to dial in, and I think they capture that balance that Myles mastered beautifully," said Paul Reed Smith.

"This guitar captures the spirit of my favourite older instruments. With that said, since we developed this guitar, most of my vintage instruments rarely see the light of day," said Kennedy. "I feel like we managed to touch on the elusive quality that makes you want to play with this guitar. It beckons you to take it off the wall or out of the case and make music.".
