NAMM 2011: PRS announces new Studio electric guitar

NAMM 2011 PRESS RELEASE: PRS's new 22 fret, 25" scale length Studio model electric guitar is a fresh, modern rendition of a traditional single-single-hum guitar set up with the beauty and brightness of a maple top.

Screaming lead tones, crisp rhythm tones and a redesigned 5-way blade switch also enhance the flexibility of this guitar in the studio or on stage.
