Description
The PS-3 guitar embodies the iconic sound and feel that guitarists cherish. Featuring three custom-wound Alnico V single-coil pickups, it delivers the signature snap, shimmering chime, and that distinctive in-between quack tonal character. Whether playing clean or driven tones, your sound remains clear, articulate, and focused.
This guitar’s craftsmanship stands apart with a satin-finished roasted maple neck and smooth rosewood fretboard that welcomes you like an old friend from the very first strum.
