First of all, PLEASE WATCH MY WELL DETAILED, 4K, UNBOXING / REVIEW VIDEO: https://youtu.be/wUo3Nt-1AOg
This is a shockingly beautiful and innovative instrument. The Modern Eagle V is the pinnacle of guitar building and innovation by the most innovative guitar company. Everything that Mr Paul Reed Smith (who is the Steve Jobs of the guitar industry) knows and likes on a guitar is present. The fantastic latest model TCI pickups that sound amazing both in humbucker and single coil mode (without dropping the gain and volume when you switch to single mode)…They sound great individually but more importantly the “in between combination” sounds are awesome too! Just check my video, I was able to test maybe half of the sounds that this guitar provides and all were amazing.
This guitar is a Wood Library edition so above 10 Top…amazing top and Ziricote (Ziricote wood stands out for its unique beauty, durability, and versatility in fine musical instrument making) fretboard. Proper highest grade mother-of-pearl inlays, a tremolo that stays in tune and overall the guitar plays and stays in tune better than any other branded guitars…
In my review video you can hear this compared to another one in my inventory…both sound and look like a million bucks. The Yellow Tiger is a bit “newer” sounding, less opened up, it needs a bit more playing time but still sounds awesome. As many comments on my socials said the “Yellow Tiger” has a bit more low end girth while the “River Blue” has a bit more top end bite…I agree…have a listen and decide yourself. Both are amazing guitars though.
The Modern Eagle V is based on the PRS McCarty model but it’s the top of the range version with all the bells and whistles PRS can offer. It has the same body thickness, weight, balance, scale length as the normal PRS McCarty model.
Well what can I say about the finish? I think this nitrocellulose lacquered Yellow Tiger finish is just wonderful.
It also comes with the latest edition PRS hard case and obviously all candy, hangtag etc…(watch the video, check the photos please, everything is in TOP condition)
I tell you what the whole package feels, looks and even smells like a million bucks…and feels, looks and smells new. I’ve found one unserious mark on it (I’m showing it on some of the pictures) apart from that zero issues.
With a new normal 10 top one running £4500++, get this barely played 2023 made much more expensive and exclusive “WOOD LIBRARY” edition guitar for kinda the same money…
So a “Wood Library” guitar for the price of a normal, production made “10 Top” version…
Treat yourself! This is something really special!
