Meet 2023 with new releases from PRS!

New Year means new gear from PRS! In this article, we are pleased to introduce you to the new products in the PRS SE, S2, Bolt-On, Core, and amplifier lines! Below you can read about the new models, watch demonstration videos, and visit product pages to learn more.

DW CE 24 HARDTAIL, LIMITED EDITION
DW CE 24 Hardtail Limited Edition embodies Dustie Waring's signature specs in a non-Floyd guitar. The Dustie Waring signature model starts with the bolt-on PRS CE 24 platform and includes a satin-finished maple neck, maple fretboard, a slightly modified Pattern Thin neck profile (Waring's carve is a bit thinner front-to-back), and—unique to this limited run—a hardtail bridge.

The pickups and electronics are also unique to Waring's signature axe. The pickups are Waring's signature Mojotone "DW Tomahawk Gen 2" humbuckers. Created using both ceramic and alnico magnets and a special winding technique, the DW Tomahawks have a big output and punchy lows while remaining articulate and clear—a notable quality for high-gain pickups. Paired with volume and tone controls and a 5-way blade pickup selector, the DW CE 24 Hardtail looks menacing, refined, and addicting.

"It is incredibly important for me to have a hardtail option of my signature model. This is a setup I use all the time, and PRS has once again outdone themselves with their attention to detail. It is no secret that these guitars look absolutely stunning!" - Dustie Waring, Between the Buried & Me

The DW CE 24 Hardtail Limited Edition comes with satin black hardware and is available in six colors, including Waring's signature finish: Waring Burst. The number of DW CE 24 Hardtail guitars that will be made is not limited, but the order window is limited to January 10 through December 31, 2023. Contact LadkorGuitars to order the model in your desired color! We ordered only one guitar in the new Jade Smokeburst color. For those interested in the Floyd model, we have it in stock now - you can buy it here!

MODERN EAGLE V
Modern Eagle V is an innovative instrument that offers very musical tones for both recording and live performance. Utilizing a humbucker/single/humbucker (five-coil) pickup layout and a unique electronics configuration, the Modern Eagle V gives players a vast range of tones in one guitar. A 5-way blade switch selects the pickups in intuitive groupings: treble, treble and middle, middle, middle and bass, and bass. There is one volume and a push/pull tone control that activates both humbuckers when engaged; this allows players to access all three pickups simultaneously. Finally, mini-toggles allow players to split the humbucker coils individually, turning the humbuckers into true single-coils. This electronics design gives you a whole set of classic and new tones.

Additional details include a maple top and mahogany back, 22 frets, a 25-inch scale length, a mahogany neck with a Pattern profile and rosewood fretboard, a bone nut, and a PRS Gen III tremolo.

"Modern Eagle models have always been built to stand up to history, celebrating tonewoods and discovering new tones. The Modern Eagle V is a complex instrument not just in terms of craftsmanship, but in terms of electronic and mechanical construction," - said Paul Reed Smith. "We improved the pickup sound and are now excited to add it to the Core line."

If you want to order a PRS Modern Eagle V in your preferred color, please contact LadkorGuitars! We have already placed an order for two PRS Modern Eagle V guitars - a non-10 top in Cobalt Smokeburst and a 10 Top in Eriza Verde!  

SE MCCARTY 594 SINGLECUT

SE McCarty 594 Singlecut with dual volume and push/pull tone controls, a 3-way top-mounted pickup selector, a two-piece bridge, and vintage-style tuners, possesses a classic feature set that will make musicians feel right at home. Its 58/15 LT "S" pickups were carefully designed to deliver warm, vintage tone with sweetness and clarity. Whether you are looking for rich, authentic humbucker tones or nuanced, sweet single-coils, the SE McCarty 594 Singlecut can easily master both sonic territories.

Other features include a 22-fret Pattern Vintage neck profile, 24.594-inch scale length, and a slightly thicker body for more sustain.

Designed to capture the heart of the McCarty family of instruments, the SE McCarty 594 Singlecut is a high-quality workhorse instrument. So far, the SC594 is still my favorite PRS model!! 

 

 

SE MCCARTY 594 SINGLECUT STANDARD

Model SE McCarty 594 Singlecut Standard presents an all-mahogany body option for this versatile, vintage-styled platform. Whether you are looking for rich, authentic humbucker tones or nuanced, sweet single-coils, the SE McCarty 594 Singlecut Standard effortlessly masters both sonic territories thanks to dual volume and push/pull tone controls. The 58/15 LT "S" pickups were carefully designed to deliver warm, vintage tone with sweetness and clarity, and the mahogany body provides a beautiful mid-range and refined aesthetic.

The SE McCarty 594 Singlecut Standard is anchored by a PRS two-piece zinc bridge and vintage-style tuners. Other features include a 22-fret Pattern Vintage neck profile, 24.594-inch scale length, and a slightly thicker body for more sustain.

The SE McCarty 594 Singlecut Standard is a high-quality instrument suitable for playing at home, in the studio, and on stage.

SE HOLLOWBODY STANDARD PIEZO

SE Hollowbody Standard Piezo features a mahogany body with a hollow construction for a warm, resonant sound. Featuring 58/15 LT "S" pickups and an LR Baggs/PRS Piezo system, the SE Hollowbody Standard Piezo provides musicians with the versatility of using both acoustic and electric tones in one instrument. Additional features include a 22-fret Wide Fat neck, bone nut, and an adjustable PRS Piezo Stoptail bridge.

The instrument is equipped with two discrete volume controls (magnetic and piezo) and output jacks (magnetic and mix/piezo). Players can plug into the "Mix/Piezo" jack and use the individual volume controls to blend the 58/15 "S" pickups with the acoustic tones of the piezo. Alternatively, players can plug into the jacks separately so the guitar can route magnetic pickups to an amp and piezo sensors through an acoustic amp or DI to the board. When using the magnetic output jack in isolation, the piezo battery is completely bypassed, acting as a failsafe (in this case, the magnetic pickups continue to work even if the piezo battery has died).

The SE Hollowbody Standard Piezo is a guitar that will suit any gig.

Also, the classic piezo model with a maple top is still available in two colors in stock!

SE DGT

"I didn't just rubber-stamp this. This guitar is something I was very passionate about and am truly proud of. The SE Series is light-years ahead of anything I could get my hands on when I started playing—it's amazing how far the quality has come—and I'm proud to be able to offer this guitar to more people." - David Grissom

PRS SE DGT (David Grissom Trem) brings David Grissom's signature model to the SE series for the first time. Based on the McCarty platform, the DGT model has been a constant favorite since its introduction in 2007, thanks to Grissom's deep knowledge of vintage guitars and his painstaking attention to detail. Every feature of the SE DGT has been thought through, from the neck shape to the choice of frets and finish, from color to pickups and electronics layout.

The SE DGT is equipped with vintage-voiced humbuckers paired with individual volume controls for each pickup, along with a push/pull master tone control that taps the humbuckers for a sweet, single-coil-inspired sound. This layout offers plenty of control and versatility, so you can focus on playing, not the guitar. Additional details include a maple top, mahogany back, a 22-fret mahogany neck with a 25-inch scale length and a rosewood fretboard, as well as bird or moon inlays (inlays depend on the color).

 

 

SE MARK HOLCOMB
 

Model SE Mark Holcomb stands out in the PRS lineup and delivers addictive playability due to some unique specifications, including a thin satin maple neck with 24 frets, a 25.5-inch scale length, and a 20-inch radius ebony fretboard. Designed for amp modeling, the Holcomb Scarlet & Scourge pickups produce a full tone with slightly less drive, offering more articulation than ever before. Whether playing sophisticated chords or melodic solos, in a band or on your own, you will hear every note. Other features include a quilted maple veneer, black chrome hardware, and a 3-way blade pickup switch with a push/pull tone pot for coil splitting.

"My SE signature model has been an incredibly special instrument that has been the backbone of my studio and stage rig for the better part of a decade. Now, loaded with my new signature Seymour Duncan pickups, it sounds better than ever.". - Mark Holcomb, Periphery

The band Periphery has become a force to be reckoned with in the progressive metal scene due to its complex rhythms and soaring melodies. Guitarist Mark Holcomb helps achieve this full, lethal sound with his PRS guitars and signature Seymour Duncan "Scarlet & Scourge" pickups.

At LadkorGuitars we still have in stock PRS SE Mark Holcomb Signature Holcomb Burst - which cannot be ordered in the future!

 

SE MARK HOLCOMB SVN

SE Mark Holcomb SVN delivers addictive playability due to some unique specifications, including 24 frets, a 26.5-inch scale length, a wide thin satin maple neck with a 20-inch radius ebony fretboard, not to mention seven strings. The signature 7-string Holcomb Seymour Duncan Scarlet & Scourge pickups provide the necessary power and articulation whether you are playing complex chords or solos, playing alone, or working within a band. Other features include a quilted maple veneer, black hardware, and a 3-way blade pickup switch with a push/pull tone pot for coil splitting. The model is finished off with a string-through plate-style 7-string bridge.

"My SE SVN has become the perfect counterpart to my six-string SE and an absolute staple in the Periphery live rig. It is designed to be aggressive, but its core features allow it to be versatile enough to handle clean and mid-gain tones equally effectively. If you have played my SE six-string, you will find that it builds on what we have created with this guitar and beyond." - Mark Holcomb, Periphery

We still have seven-strings in two colors no longer available for order and with Alpha & Omega pickups:

PRS SE Mark Holcomb SVN Natural Satin Walnut Top 7 String

10TH ANNIVERSARY S2 CUSTOM 24 LIMITED EDITION

The S2 series began in 2013 to provide players with the fit, feel, and attention to detail of PRS craftsmanship in a fresh, straightforward design. Since its introduction, the series has grown from the three original models, including the S2 Custom 24, to more than a dozen options for players. The 10th Anniversary S2 Custom 24 was specifically created to celebrate the series' milestone and provide more sound, more beauty, and more value than ever before.

The 10th Anniversary S2 Custom 24 is based on the original S2 Custom 24 specifications, retaining a maple top, mahogany back, 25-inch scale length, 24-fret Pattern Thin neck, PRS patented molded tremolo, and PRS low-mass locking tuners. Special appointments include: a Cuban mahogany neck, mother-of-pearl bird inlays, and most importantly, USA-made PRS 85/15 pickups and electronics. PRS 85/15 pickups blend vintage and modern pickup designs, delivering exceptional clarity and extended highs and lows. Finely tuned using the PRS TCI process, the 85/15s deliver balanced, full-spectrum clarity. They are perfect for modern pedalboard-based players while having enough character to be plugged straight into an amp. The pickups have also been paired with a volume, tone, and 5-way blade switch for the first time in the S2 series (as opposed to the 3-way switch with push/pull tone pot).

1000 instruments will be produced 10th Anniversary S2 Custom 24 Limited Edition. This model is available ONLY by order with a 50% deposit at our store, LadkorGuitars. 

The S2 series, standing for "Stevensville 2," was named after the second production line created at the PRS shop in Stevensville, Maryland, which combined new manufacturing technologies with hands-on quality control and craftsmanship to create instruments at a new price point for players. Over the last decade, the S2 series has become more integrated into the single production line with PRS Core and Bolt-On instruments.

SONZERA 20

Sonzera [Portuguese]: from som (sound), meaning cool and/or stunning sound (in the sense of music) – a kind of slang.

The Sonzera 20 is a medium-power 20-watt combo amp with two independently controlled footswitchable channels, designed for maximum versatility. The clean channel provides a full, 3D-sounding tone reminiscent of American amps from the mid-1960s. The gain channel is schematically linked to the clean channel, so it can be set to act as a boosted clean channel, or it can be dialed in so the channels sound like two completely different amps (the gain channel can be set from mild to very heavy [fq-utqy, just by using the drive and level controls). The Bright switch on the gain channel has been carefully tuned to provide a familiar high-end snap and is especially effective on the low strings, neck pickup settings, and with single-coils, while the low-end response of the gain channel is full, tight, and clear.

Both Sonzera channels are designed for maximum note clarity. Global presence control and tone stacks allow players to dial in a variety of tones from bell-like chimes to warmer, thicker tones. The Sonzera 20 Combo also features a global spring reverb setting that is designed to enhance notes without clouding them. The reverb can be switched on and off via a footswitch. The addition of a built-in effects loop allows performers to use all of their time-based effects with ease without a negative impact on the overall amp tone.

Possessing a rugged construction, wide tonal range, and reliable controls, the Sonzera 20 Combo represents a reliable, stage- and studio-worthy amplifier. At one time PRS stopped making them, but now they are back in production because they have become very popular with many guitarists. 

You can order this combo from us at LadkorGuitars - https://www.ladkorguitars.com/item/2018-prs-sonzera-20-combo-new-id1009
