Essential Information About the PRS Guitars Studio "Carroll Blue" Guitar

  • Smart HSS configuration: a bridge humbucker and two Narrowfield PRS pickups to switch from crisp clean tones to saturated lead with ease.
  • Maple carved on mahogany tonewood offering attack, warmth, and generous sustain, true to the PRS signature.
  • Immediate comfort: 25" / 635 mm scale length, 22 frets, Pattern neck, and double cutaway for effortless access to the upper frets.
  • Exemplary tuning stability thanks to the PRS vibrato and locking tuners.

The "Studio" Model at the Heart of PRS DNA

Born to combine the sparkle of single coils and the density of a house-made humbucker, the PRS Studio holds a chameleon-like place in the Core range. The "Carroll Blue" finish highlights the figure of the maple top, while precise hardware and meticulous assembly continue Paul Reed Smith?s quest: accuracy, stage reliability, and inspiration at your fingertips.

Who Is It For and Which Styles?

Designed for intermediate to expert guitarists in both studio and live settings. Blues, funk, pop, modern rock, soul, indie, or fusion: the Studio finely responds to playing dynamics and volume/attack nuances, moving from crystalline sparkle to textured crunch and singing lead without losing definition.

Sound

The bridge humbucker delivers a meaty tone, solid mids, and natural sustain for riffs and solos. The two Narrowfield PRS pickups (neck/middle) provide the attack and clarity of a single coil, with reduced noise and a strong harmonic foundation. The 5-position selector offers very expressive combinations, from crisp cleans to dense, articulate drives. The maple/mahogany pairing enhances definition and depth, while the PRS vibrato adds subtle shimmer without sacrificing tuning stability.
