The result is a Modern Eagle designed not just around luxury appointments, but around an unusually broad selection of genuinely usable sounds for stage and studio work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular guitar has another major attraction: its \u003cstrong\u003eexceptionally attractive bookmatched figured maple top\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is \u003cstrong\u003enot factory classified by PRS as a 10-Top\u003c\/strong\u003e, but every now and again a regular-grade PRS emerges with figuring that visually punches far above its official designation. \u003cstrong\u003eThis Modern Eagle V typifies exactly that.\u003c\/strong\u003e The two halves are beautifully bookmatched, with a refined flame that forms a subtle chevron as it moves away from the centre seam. Under the Charcoal finish it creates a sophisticated, understated appearance rather than an overly dramatic stripe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOffered in \u003cstrong\u003eMint

Notes\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis individual Modern Eagle V has been graded \u003cstrong\u003eMint\u003c\/strong\u003e, making it particularly desirable for someone looking for an exceptionally clean Pre-Owned PRS Core guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts most immediately striking feature is its individual piece of figured maple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough \u003cstrong\u003enot officially designated a PRS 10-Top\u003c\/strong\u003e, the top has beautifully matched figuring across both halves, with the flame forming a \u003cstrong\u003esubtle chevron around the centre joint\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is less about exaggerated, ruler-straight flame and more about depth and movement – particularly effective underneath the darker Charcoal finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eAn Exceptional Non-10 Top\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePRS grades figured maple before it becomes a completed guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn official \u003cstrong\u003e10-Top\u003c\/strong\u003e is selected according to specific visual criteria and receives PRS's corresponding factory designation. This guitar does not carry that designation and is therefore correctly described as a standard or \u003cstrong\u003enon-10 Top\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, PRS itself acknowledges that standard-grade tops can still be striking and unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis guitar is a perfect example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than strong horizontal figuring alone, its bookmatched maple displays a \u003cstrong\u003every subtle V-shaped or chevron movement\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving the top symmetry while retaining the natural variation that makes figured maple so appealing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder the Charcoal finish, the flame moves between dark and light as the guitar is viewed from different angles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the kind of non-10 PRS that makes you look twice at the headstock to check.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eFair Deal Quality Control

and overall playability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that wooden instruments can respond slightly to temperature and humidity changes during transport, so minor setup movement after delivery is normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eWhy Choose The PRS Modern Eagle V?\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFive-Coil HSH Pickup Platform\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the Modern Eagle V is an unusually flexible \u003cstrong\u003efive-coil HSH arrangement\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePRS combines TCI humbuckers at the neck and bridge with an \u003cstrong\u003eNS-01 single-coil in the middle\u003c\/strong\u003e, providing sounds that range from full-bodied humbucker tones to brighter, more articulate combinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis gives the guitar considerably more tonal breadth than a conventional twin-humbucker PRS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTCI Humbuckers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePRS's TCI – \u003cstrong\u003eTuned Capacitance and Inductance\u003c\/strong\u003e – approach focuses on carefully controlling the electrical characteristics of each pickup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than simply chasing additional output, the Modern Eagle V is designed around clarity, balance and usable tonal differences between its pickup settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePush\/Pull Electronics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe push\/pull tone control expands the five-way layout by bringing the outer pickups into additional combinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat opens up sounds not normally available from a conventional HSH guitar, including configurations involving all three pickups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDual Mini-Toggle Controls\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo dedicated mini toggles provide further control over the voicing of the outer pickups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a major reason the Modern Eagle V can cover so much ground while retaining a relatively straightforward physical control layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePRS Pattern Neck\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ePattern profile\u003c\/strong\u003e provides a substantial but refined neck feel derived from PRS's traditional neck geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombined with the 10\" fingerboard radius and 25\" scale, it provides a comfortable middle ground between vintage-style and overtly modern guitar designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePRS Gen III Tremolo\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe patented \u003cstrong\u003eGen III tremolo\u003c\/strong\u003e is designed around smooth operation, accurate return to pitch and strong mechanical contact between the bridge and guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombined with Phase III locking tuners, it provides a highly capable system for expressive vibrato without resorting to a double-locking tremolo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eWhat Makes The Modern Eagle V Electronics Special?\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA traditional HSH guitar normally uses a five-way selector to provide several predetermined pickup combinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Modern Eagle V goes considerably further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts basic five-way arrangement provides intuitive bridge, bridge-plus-middle, middle, middle-plus-neck and neck selections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe additional push\/pull and mini-toggle functions then open up further pickup and voicing combinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a guitar capable of covering the territory of several conventional instruments without becoming dominated by switches and controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a studio or working guitarist who regularly moves between clean, edge-of-breakup and driven sounds, that breadth is one of the Modern Eagle V's strongest advantages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eComparison Against Popular Alternatives\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eModern Eagle V vs PRS Custom 24\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Custom 24 is arguably the definitive PRS all-rounder, with 24 frets and twin humbuckers. The Modern Eagle V has 22 frets and introduces a dedicated middle single-coil plus considerably more elaborate electronics, making it the more expansive tonal platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eModern Eagle V vs PRS Studio\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth use HSH-style concepts and target versatile players. The Modern Eagle V moves further into the premium Core specification with its dedicated TCI\/NS-01 electronics, Modern Eagle appointments and broader switching architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eModern Eagle V vs PRS DGT\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DGT is deliberately focused around David Grissom's live-playing requirements, with two humbuckers and relatively direct controls. The Modern Eagle V is the more electronically expansive choice for players prioritising maximum tonal variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eModern Eagle V vs Fender HSS Stratocaster\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Stratocaster provides the familiar bolt-on snap and three-pickup character. The Modern Eagle V approaches similar versatility from a PRS set-neck, maple-over-mahogany foundation, adding substantially more tonal weight and switching flexibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eWho Is It For?\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProfessional Working Guitarists\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ability to cover radically different sounds from one instrument makes the Modern Eagle V extremely useful for musicians playing varied set lists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStudio And Session Players\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is where the extensive switching architecture makes particularly good sense. Different pickup combinations can provide contrasting layers without requiring several guitars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRock And Blues Players\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TCI humbuckers

Guitarists\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe middle pickup and brighter combinations provide considerably more rhythmic clarity than a traditional HH guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePRS Enthusiasts And Collectors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Modern Eagle name has historically represented some of PRS's more ambitious instruments, and this example gains additional individuality

standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is longer than the 24.75\" scale associated with many Gibson designs but shorter than Fender's traditional 25.5\" scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat gives the Modern Eagle V a familiar yet distinct string feel: enough tension for articulation and clean definition while retaining a comfortable response for bending and vibrato.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombined with the 10\" radius and Pattern neck, it is one of the reasons PRS guitars can feel immediately comfortable to players coming from very different instrument backgrounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eStory \u0026amp; Context: The PRS Modern Eagle V\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eModern Eagle\u003c\/strong\u003e name has long occupied an important place within PRS history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than describing a single permanent specification, Modern Eagle instruments have traditionally represented opportunities for PRS to combine high-grade tonewoods, premium construction and new technical ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eModern Eagle V concept first appeared publicly as an Experience PRS 2020 limited edition\u003c\/strong\u003e, with only 200 instruments produced in Charcoal and River Blue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts defining feature was the sophisticated five-coil electronics platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePRS later developed the concept into a regular \u003cstrong\u003eCore Series Modern Eagle V\u003c\/strong\u003e, retaining the 25\" scale, figured maple over mahogany construction and HSH architecture while refining the electronics and hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a guitar that embodies the Modern Eagle philosophy particularly well: recognisably PRS in construction, but designed to explore sounds beyond the conventional twin-humbucker formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eTechnical
