Paul Reed Smith Guitars Mira News: The PRS Maple Top and the PRS Mira X make their debut in style, taking what the Mira has to offer to new electrifying heights.
PRS Guitars Mira Maple Top
The Paul Reed Smith Guitars Mira Maple Top is making its debut. First unveiled during the Experience PRS 2008 event in Maryland, the instrument combines the retro vibe of the PRS Mira with the figured maple tops that PRS customers have come to expect. This new model is an evolutionary instrument stemming from the increasingly popular Mira. The maple top provides the guitar with both a distinctive visual and tonal identity.
New colours and optional gold hardware are also part of this new model’s offerings. The new finishes are all wrap-around and include Tri-Colour Sunburst, Dark Cherry Sunburst, Whale Blue/Black Burst, Violin Amber Burst and Vintage Natural.
Like all PRS guitars, the Mira Maple Top is comprised of the finest woods and materials available. In addition to the mahogany and maple top body, the mahogany neck and East Indian rosewood fingerboard come with either moon inlays or optional bird inlays. This instrument is a 24-fret, 10” radius, 25” scale length guitar with either regular or wide-thin neck carve. Locking tuning pegs, Mira treble and bass pickups, volume, tone, 3-way blade, and a mini toggle coil tap round out the features.
PRS Guitars Mira X
PRS continues to expand its guitar concepts with the introduction of the Mira X, the first 22-fret, 24-1/2” scale-length guitar in the Mira series of PRS guitar models. Appearing for the first time at this year’s Winter NAMM in Anaheim, the Mira X’s retro inspired design and appointments compliment others in the Mira series, but the flatter, streamlined Mira X top and lighter weight body gives new options to players in search of instruments with PRS craftsmanship, but with subtle and understated style.
The unique X wood palette includes a solid African basswood body, a Sipo mahogany neck and a Pau Ferro fretboard that contribute to the light-weight understated look and feel of this guitar, as do the dot inlays, vintage style tuning pegs and nickel hardware. Mira X Treble and Bass pickups, volume and tone controls and a three-way pick up selector on a black pickguard round out the electronics package. Colour packages are Vintage Cherry, Black and Sepia Burst.
