PRS Charcoal Phoenix Limited Edition – 40th Anniversary
Limited to Only 150 Worldwide – Includes PRS ATA Multi-Fit Molded Case and 40th Anniversary Certificate

Overview:
Introducing the PRS Charcoal Phoenix Limited Edition—a striking celebration of PRS Guitars’ 40th Anniversary and Paul Reed Smith’s personal benchmark for innovation, artistry, and sound. With only 150 made worldwide, this extraordinary instrument is the result of more than a year of real-world road-testing and refinement by Paul Reed Smith himself, delivering unrivaled clarity, sustain, and stage-ready performance.

The Charcoal Phoenix boasts a Private Stock-grade figured maple top in a mesmerizing charcoal microburst finish, paired with a dramatic deep crimson “fat back” mahogany body. The one-piece chaltecoco neck and ziricote fingerboard yield rich sustain and resonance, while rippled abalone “Old School” bird inlays and a matching ziricote headstock complete the look with vintage-inspired elegance.
