PRS Guitars Debuts the Mira X at Winter NAMM 2009

PRS continues to expand its guitar concepts with the introduction of the Mira X, the first 22-fret, 24-1/2" scale-length guitar in the Mira series of PRS guitar models. Appearing for the first time at this year's Winter NAMM in Anaheim, the Mira X's retro inspired design and appointments compliment others in the Mira series, but the flatter, streamlined Mira X top and lighter weight body gives new options to players in search of instruments with PRS craftsmanship, but with subtle and understated style.

The unique X wood palette includes a solid African basswood body, a Sipo mahogany neck and a Pau Ferro fretboard that contribute to the light-weight understated look and feel of this guitar, as do the dot inlays, vintage style tuning pegs and nickel hardware. Mira X Treble and Bass pickups, volume and tone controls and a three-way pick up selector on a black pickguard round out the electronics package. Color packages are Vintage Cherry, Black and Sepia Burst.

"It's simple. It's light. It's classic, and it's powerful. We're happy that after many years of discussing concepts like this, we are finally able to bring them to market and give people new options," said Joe Knaggs, Director of Research and Development. "It's definitely a 'less is more' statement, but quality is still the most important feature of this guitar."
