12-string electric guitar in hollow-body construction with 58/15 LT pickups, including case
The PRS Hollow-Body I 12-String Charcoal Cherry Burst combines the typical appointments of the noble manufacturer from Stevensville, Maryland with the popular jingle-jangle sound of the wild sixties. For the construction of the resonant hollow-body electric guitar, Paul Reed Smith relies on a mahogany body with flamed maple top and a glued mahogany neck, whose wide rosewood fingerboard presents the coveted bird inlays. At the guitar amplifier the hollow-body I 12-String by PRS also convinces with the authentic Vintage-Sound of the PRS 58/15 LT humbuckers, which skilfully capture the natural string chorus and the timbre of the construction. To ensure that each of the twelve strings is optimally intonated and tuned, a PRS Adjustable 12-String Stoptail bridge and PRS Phase II locking tuners complete the PRS hollow-body I 12-String Charcoal Cherry Burst.

Resonant construction and high playing comfort
The heart of the PRS hollow-body I 12-string is undoubtedly the mahogany body with its generous sound chambers and chic curly maple top, whose resonant timbre brings the natural chorus effect of the string pairs to life. The glued mahogany neck fits perfectly in the hand with its pleasantly handy PRS 12-string profile, while the rosewood fingerboard with its stately 44 mm nut width offers enough space for cleanly gripping chords on all pairs of strings. As position markers between the 22 frets naturally Bird inlays are used in the traditional old-school design.
PRS 58/15 low-turns humbuckers with moderate output promise premium vintage tones with the natural chorus of the six string choirs.
PRS 58/15 LT humbucker for authentic vintage sounds
The electrical tone conversion of the PRS hollow-body I 12-String Charcoal Cherry Burst is handled by two PRS 58/15 LT humbuckers. Thanks to the reduced number of turns of their copper coils, the low-turns humbuckers convince with an authentic vintage sound that skilfully captures the sound characteristics of the semi-hollow construction and the natural chorus of the six pairs of strings, so that silky guitar sounds with the typical jingle-jangle character of the sixties are available at the guitar amplifier. A classic 3-way circuit with Master Volume and Master Tone controls allows you to adjust the tone color.
Twelve gold-plated PRS Phase II locking tuners guarantee precise and stable tuning of every string.
High-quality hardware features
Last but not least, the hollow-body I 12-string electric guitar from PRS impresses with its high-quality hardware features, which combine unyielding reliability with the elegant look of a gold finish. On the body, the PRS Adjustable 12-String Stoptail Bridge with precisely adjustable split-saddles guarantees optimal adjustment of intonation and position of each string, so that even complex chord voicings are cleanly displayed across all positions. On the extended headstock in typical PRS style, twelve Phase II locking tuners guarantee precise and stable tuning.
