PRS 509 Wood Library Electric Guitar - Black Gold Burst
Unleash a universe of tones with the PRS 509 Wood Library Electric Guitar, now available at Palen Music Center! This isn't just another pretty face; it's a sonic chameleon designed for the modern player who craves versatility without compromise. Crafted with a stunning flame maple 10 Top and a rich mahogany body, this instrument resonates with a warmth and sustain that PRS is legendary for. The heart of its expansive tonal palette lies in its innovative 509 pickup system, featuring five individual coils that can be configured in nine unique ways. Whether you're chasing the thick roar of humbuckers, the crisp clarity of single-coils, or something beautifully blended in between, the 509 delivers with impeccable articulation.
The comfortable Pattern Regular mahogany neck with a silky-smooth ebony fretboard invites you to explore every inch of its 22 frets. With its 25.25" scale length, you get a comfortable feel that's just a bit longer than a traditional PRS, offering a touch more snap and sustain. While specific famous players might not be exclusively tied to the 509 model due to its relative newness compared to some PRS classics, the underlying DNA of PRS guitars has been embraced by countless guitar legends across genres, from John Mayer to Carlos Santana, known for their demanding tonal requirements and appreciation for PRS's exceptional craftsmanship and sonic flexibility.
