PRS Paul Reed Smith Mark Tremonti Signature Electric Guitar with CaseAs one of rock's leading guitarists and the guitarist of Alter Bridge and Creed, Mark Tremonti he has met extraordinary success and continues to grow as both a guitar player and songwriter. While Creed was on tour in support of their first record My Own Prison, Mark was contacted by PRS and asked if he would like to try one of their guitars.
I jumped at the idea to play one of PRS' guitars. PRS was one of those guitars that I could never afford in high school or college and had always wanted to play one. said Tremonti. PRS sent Mark a McCarty model which he instantly fell in love with. He played that guitar exclusively for a while, but ultimately wanted a guitar that was more suited to his playing style.
Mark Tremonti began to collaborate with PRS on his dream guitar that would soon become the Mark Tremonti Signature Model. He needed pickups that were a little more aggressive and could complement his rhythm playing which contains a lot of palm muting. The neck of the guitar needed to accommodate his style, influenced by thrash metal, shred, and traditional blues. PRS met these needs with the Pattern Thin neck carve that gives a comfortable, like home feel from the moment that you pick it up. This new neck shape reflects modern tooling and programming that allows us to even more precisely shape and consistently reproduce our necks.
Finish should enhance the look, sound, and feel of a guitar by accentuating the wood's inherent beauty and feel without hindering its natural resonance. And PRS Guitars' V12 finish does just that. Introduced at Experience PRS 2010, V12 is a very thin, hard, and clear finish that will not crack or react with thinners. After roughly 12 years in development, it is halfway between acrylic and nitro but with a classic feel all its own. PRS models with this new finish feel like old instruments, said Paul Reed Smith.
With a classic, resonant voice that is eminently recordable and gig ready, this beauty won't just take everything you've got and keep asking for more, it will do it with unforgettable sound and style.

| Exceptional quality. |

| How has it stood up over time? |
|
| Overall |
| Your general opinion of this product. |
| Compared to other guitars that I have owned this guitar far exceeds in quality of materials and construction, playability and most importantly tone. Now I do not want to play my custom Slash LP, EJ strat or jackson rr24. |
| Playability and Feel |
| How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? |
| Very fantastic playability, for my size hands (large) it suits me very well. My EJ Strat also has exceptional playability - actually even better on the lower frets AND has great tone but still not as good as the Tremonti. |
| Tone |
| Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? |
| The tone is pure sweetness. |
| Finish |
| How did the stain or paint job look? |
| I purchased with no real pictures of the actual guitar (maybe PRS should photo each guitar), so the finish was not as symmetrical as other pics I have seen but I would prefer that anyway. |
| Action |
| How was the action out of the box? |
| I was very skeptical about the setup - from not so perfect setups from the other guitars I have purchased. BUT I must say I'm truly impressed with this setup, The intonation was right on and the string height was actually right on as well "no fret buz". - 12th fret roughly 3/64 |
