PRS SE Zach Myers, Myers Blue

The SE Zach Myers signature model has been one of PRS' best-selling guitars in recent years. As part of their impressive 2021 lineup, the Maryland-based brand has unveiled arguably the most stunning iteration of this popular semi-hollow to date — offering Private Stock looks at an affordable SE Series price-point!

Overview:

Finished in 'Myers Blue', a completely new PRS colour option, this latest incarnation of the Shinedown guitarist's signature instrument boasts the same chambered body construction of previous versions — guaranteeing an airy, resonant tone with plenty of rich harmonic content and piano-like sustain. Complete with a Flamed Maple veneer top and a single F-hole, the PRS SE Zach Myers also features a set of versatile 245 “S” pickups, a proprietary 'Adjustable Stoptail' bridge, comfortable 24.5" scale length and a matching bound headstock.

Zach Myers first picked up a PRS Custom 22 at the age of fifteen, with his first SE signature model unveiled back in 2010. As a guitarist who has rocked PRS on stage and worked as a tech for several bands endorsed by the brand, Myers has an intimate understanding of how a guitar should feel and what the build quality should be. Those details have again created an eye-popping player’s guitar that can take a real beating:

“When I was younger, I always wanted a 'Private Stock' guitar, but I couldn’t afford one. When I told Paul the SE Zach Myers reminded me of that, he laughed, but also slightly agreed. The goal of the PRS SE Zach Myers has always been to make a guitar that stood out in the long line of amazing, affordable guitars that is the SE Series. The appointments we selected for this guitar, I feel, make it one of the best guitars you buy on the market right now – no matter the price-point... even though this guitar is priced for everyone to afford.” – Zach Myers
