PRS Modern Eagle V 2024 Cobalt Smokeburst

The Essentials to Know About the PRS Modern Eagle V Cobalt Smokeburst Guitar

• Ultra-wide sonic palette: HSH five-coil configuration (TCI bridge and neck + NS-01 in the middle) and electronics designed to transition from studio to stage without compromise.


• Intuitive control: 5-position selector, volume, and push/pull tone to activate all three pickups simultaneously, plus two mini-switches dedicated to splits.


• Core USA craftsmanship: solid mahogany body and carved maple top for an ideal balance of warmth, attack, and sustain.


• Premium 2024 hardware: patented PRS Gen III vibrato and PRS Phase III locking tuners with "Wing" buttons for freer resonance and enhanced stability.

Modern Eagle V: the PRS "all-in-one" spirit in its 2024 version

An iconic model of the PRS approach, the Modern Eagle V stands out with a simple idea: to offer a guitar capable of covering both classic and new sounds without multiplying instruments. In 2024, the brand updates several Core models with lighter "Wing" tuner buttons, designed to leave more energy to the strings and promote longer, more musical resonance.

For whom, and in which styles?

The PRS Modern Eagle V is aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists seeking a truly versatile high-end guitar: pop, rock, funk, modern blues, fusion, worship, studio sessions, and live performances. Its electronics allow switching from a precise, snappy sound to a denser, singing voice, with quick and coherent transitions between positions.

The tone

The acoustic foundation comes from a proven duo: mahogany body for warmth, roundness, and solid mids, combined with a carved maple top that provides attack, definition, and brightness. On the pickups side, the TCI at bridge and neck aim for a balanced and musical response, while the central NS-01 adds finer, more articulated textures. The 5-position selector offers immediate combinations, the push/pull tone engages both humbuckers to get all three pickups at once, and the mini-switches provide access to additional "single coil" registers via splits: ideal for refining attack, opening up chords, and varying colors without losing the comfort of a single guitar.
