PRS Modern Eagle V 2024 Dark Cherry Burst

Essential Information About the PRS Modern Eagle V Dark Cherry Burst Guitar

• Extreme versatility thanks to a double/single/double pickup configuration (five coils) and a 5-position selector designed to switch seamlessly between tones.


• Creative and musical electronics: push/pull tone control to activate both humbuckers in addition to the middle pickup, plus two mini-switches dedicated to humbucker splitting.


• High-end USA craftsmanship: solid mahogany body with a carved maple top for a rich, precise, and inspiring response.


• Premium PRS hardware: patented PRS Gen III vibrato and Phase III locking tuners with "Wing" buttons (2024 edition).

Modern Eagle V: a PRS Core designed as a modern sonic platform

The 2024 model, the PRS Modern Eagle V, fits within the "Core" spirit: impeccable USA manufacturing serving a guitar designed to cover a wide range of sonic territories. In 2024, PRS updates some references in the range with new, lighter "Wing" tuner buttons to promote longer, more musical resonance, while recalling the "Birds" aesthetic at the 12th fret.

For which guitarists and styles?

The Modern Eagle V is aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists who want a single guitar capable of performing both in the studio and on stage. Its HSH architecture, splits, and 5-position selector logic make it ideal for rock, pop, fusion, modern blues, funk, and contexts where one needs to chain very different tones without changing instruments.

Sound

The mahogany + carved maple construction combines warmth and density in the low mids with a more precise attack and better definition in the highs. The TCI (bridge) / NS-01 (middle) / TCI (neck) pickup configuration opens a wide palette: full, singing humbucker sounds, as well as finer single-coil-like textures thanks to the mini-switch split functions. The push/pull tone control, which activates both humbuckers when engaged, provides direct access to expanded combinations, with excellent balance for recording and a controlled output level live.

Recommended compatible accessories

The guitar is strung with 10-46 gauge strings, and you can stick with this gauge to preserve the original balance between tension, attack, and tuning stability, especially with the vibrato. A set of 10-46 electric guitar strings is therefore the most coherent option.
