Updated Hardware Enhances Tone and Aesthetics

For 2024, PRS Guitars is updating the tuning machines on many of our Core guitars. While, aesthetically, the new Wing buttons are designed to echo the 12th fret bird wingspan design, they were first and foremost designed for tonal reasons all the way back in 1982. Because these buttons are lighter weight than their metal predecessors, they are subtracting less energy from the vibrating strings, thus helping the guitar ring longer and at a more musical note. This attention to detail, even in the hardware, demonstrates PRS’ commitment to crafting instruments that deliver exceptional tone and performance.
