The PRS Myles Kennedy electric guitar is a refined yet powerful instrument designed for the legendary guitarist's dynamic playing style. Known for his work in Alter Bridge, Slash and the Conspirators, and his solo career, Kennedy blends blues and jazz influences with rock intensity. His signature model reflects this versatility, featuring a swamp ash body, a 25.5" scale length maple neck with a maple fingerboard, and PRS Narrowfield MK pickups for a balance of humbucker warmth and single-coil clarity. Whether dialing in cutting leads or rich rhythm tones, this guitar is built to inspire.
Swamp Ash Body and Maple Neck for Balanced Tonality
The Myles Kennedy model features a swamp ash body, delivering articulate highs, tight bass, and a balanced midrange response. The flat top design keeps things sleek and lightweight, while the bolt-on maple neck and maple fretboard contribute snappy attack and resonance. A satin nitro finish on the neck ensures smooth playability, making it a natural extension of the player's hands.
Narrowfield MK Pickups for Dynamic Tone
The PRS Narrowfield MK pickups were custom-voiced to bridge the gap between humbuckers and single-coils, offering punchy, expressive tone with reduced noise. These pickups provide thick single-coil sounds without the hum, making them ideal for rock, blues, and jazz-infused playing. A 5-way blade switch allows for a variety of pickup combinations, while the push/pull tone control functions as a preset tone roll-off for the treble pickup, softening high frequencies for a warmer attack.
Precision Hardware for Reliable Performance
The PRS plate-style steel bridge ensures rock-solid tuning stability while offering the resonance and response of a classic hardtail design. Vintage-style locking tuners provide smooth tuning adjustments and fast string changes, while a bone nut enhances sustain and tonal clarity. Built for both live and studio settings, this guitar is crafted for reliability and consistent performance.
Unique Aesthetics with Personal Touches
Kennedy's signature model includes custom details that make it uniquely his. The "Geometric Owl" logo from his *Ides of March* solo album is prominently displayed, symbolizing wisdom and adaptability. Signature PRS bird inlays, a high-gloss nitro body finish, and a vintage-style decal headstock logo complete the look, creating a visually stunning instrument that demands attention.
A Guitar That Inspires Creativity
The PRS Myles Kennedy electric guitar is built for players who need a versatile instrument that encourages exploration and expression. Whether pushing the limits of rock, experimenting with blues phrasing, or digging into jazz-infused chords, this guitar responds with clarity and character. As Kennedy himself puts it, *"It beckons you to take it off the wall or out of the case and make music."*
