Absolutely stunning Private Stock Modern Eagle V in Faded Indigo. Crushing Quilt top on Swamp Ash with Semi-Hollow construction really steps up the tonal range of this model. Lots to clarity and punch with added roundness and air. Coupled with direct mount pickups, this Modern Eagle has sustain for days! Satin nitro neck feels and plays better than it looks. Details are at its finest all the way down to the color matching Curly Maple tuning keys. Beautiful!!
The Private Stock Modern Eagle V is a sophisticated instrument not only in its craftsmanship but electronically and mechanically,” said Paul Reed Smith. “Modern Eagle models have always been designed to stand up to history while celebrating tonewoods and the discovery of new tones. These instruments are the embodiment of that tradition married with the bold innovation of Private Stock and a new pickup system.”
The Private Stock Modern Eagle V utilizes a hum/single/hum (five-coil) pickup configuration and introduces a new and unique switching system that gives players a vast array of tones in one guitar. The 5-way blade switch selects the pickups just as the 509 does (treble, treble and middle, middle, middle and bass, bass). The two paired mini-toggles separate the slug-side coils, turning the humbuckers into true, “TCI-tuned” single coils. There is a single volume and a push/pull tone control that activates both humbuckers when engaged; this allows players to access three pickups simultaneously.
Bottom line, the Modern Eagle V Limited Edition is a special instrument, producing real, highly-musical tones for both recording and playing live.
