Lovely high spec singlecut from PRS with stunning Fire Red Artist Grade top.

A vintage-inspired Singlecut with an artist-grade top, the SC 58 is perfect for more traditional single-cutaway players. The 24.5” scale length and electronics’ appointments make this instrument instantly comfortable to players who grew up using short scale guitars. The PRS 2-piece bridge is the anchor of this guitar and enhances the natural tone of the woods.

With a classic, resonant voice that is eminently recordable and gig ready, this beauty won’t just take everything you’ve got and keep asking for more, it will do it with unforgettable sound and style.

V12 Finish - Finish should enhance the look, sound, and feel of a guitar by accentuating the wood’s inherent beauty and feel without hindering its natural resonance. And PRS Guitars’ new “V12” finish does just that. Introduced at Experience PRS 2010, “V12” is a very thin, hard, and clear finish that will not crack or react with thinners. After roughly 12 years in development, it is halfway between acrylic and nitro but with a classic feel all its own. “PRS models with this new finish feel like old instruments,” said Paul Reed Smith.

Pattern Neck Shape - Neck shapes have always been a high priority for us and a hallmark of our quality. A guitar should feel comfortable, like “home,” as soon as you pick it up, and the neck is paramount to that connection. Perfected after years of prototyping, the new “Pattern” neck is an updated Wide Fat PRS neck style based on Paul’s pre-factory design. These necks were found on the instruments built for Carlos Santana, Peter Frampton and Howard Leese from the late 70’s to the mid 80’s.

Whether in woodworking, machining, or cast and die work, pattern making is the art of arriving at a perfect standard which can be duplicated or used to create new designs from by “offsetting.” All of our necks came to be as a result of offsetting from this original, Wide Fat design.
