Shopping by serial number allows you the convenience of buying online combined with the essence of the in-store experience. At AMS, what you see is what you get.
The PRS Studio is built for players who refuse to choose between vintage chime and modern crunch. With a stunning flame maple top, proprietary Narrowfield pickups, and a McCarty III bridge humbucker, this is one of those rare guitars that doesn't just promise versatility — it delivers it.
Built Like a Work of Art
The PRS Studio is more than just clever electronics strapped to a pretty body. The flame maple top is genuinely stunning — the kind of wood grain that turns heads before you've even hit a note. Below that, the mahogany back adds warmth and resonance that keeps the tone full and grounded, even when the pickups are pushed hard.
Flame Maple Top: Each top is unique, making every PRS Studio visually one-of-a-kind while contributing brightness and articulation to the overall tone.
Mahogany Back: Adds warmth, sustain, and a natural low-mid character that keeps the overall tone balanced and musical across every pickup position.
Modern Single-Single-Hum Architecture: A timeless layout refined for contemporary playing, giving the Studio classic versatility with a distinctly modern PRS personality.
The Pickup Configuration That Does It All
Three pickups might sound like one too many until you realize how much territory the PRS Studio can cover. Narrow field single coils in the neck and middle positions deliver that punchy, glassy articulation that makes clean tones sing, while the McCarty III humbucker at the bridge brings the kind of thick, commanding growl that makes distortion pedals very happy. The push/pull tone control unlocks the full range of tonal combinations — no manual required, just ears.
PRS Narrowfield Neck Pickup: Warm, detailed, and surprisingly punchy for a single-coil, the Narrowfield delivers vintage-flavored tones with less hum and more clarity than you'd typically expect.
PRS Narrowfield Middle Pickup: Perfectly positioned for the scooped, glassy tones that sit beautifully in a mix — blend it with the neck or bridge for combinations that feel genuinely new.
McCarty III Humbucking Bridge Pickup: When it's time to mean business, this humbucker delivers thick, singing sustain and a full, authoritative crunch that pairs beautifully with everything from blues to hard rock.
Dialed-In Controls (No Manual Required)
The PRS Studio keeps things intuitive without keeping them boring. The 5-way blade switch covers the obvious bases, but the real magic lives in the push/pull tone control, which unlocks a whole second layer of tonal options without turning your signal chain into a puzzle. Seven distinct pickup combinations total — all of them genuinely usable, none of them a quirky accident.
5-Way Blade Switch: Moves through five classic pickup positions quickly and reliably, putting your most-used tones right at your fingertips mid-performance.
Push/Pull Tone Control: Pull it up and the guitar opens up an entirely new set of pickup combinations, effectively doubling your tonal arsenal without adding a single extra knob.
Seven Total Pickup Combinations: From airy, bell-like cleans to thick, high-output lead tones, the Studio covers ground that most two-pickup guitars simply cannot reach.
The One Guitar to Rule Them All
Most guitars claim versatility. The PRS Studio delivers. Seven pickup combinations, a three-pickup layout that covers more sonic ground than most guitars can dream of and build quality that makes you actually want to pick it up every day — the Studio holds its own whether you're tracking professionally or just chasing tones at home.
Warranty: Limited Lifetime on Instruments; 5 Years on Amplifiers; 90 Days on Tubes; 1 Year on Speakers

Frequently Asked Questions
The PRS Studio stands out thanks to its three-pickup configuration — two proprietary Narrowfield single coils and a McCarty III humbucker — giving it seven pickup combinations most PRS models don't offer. It's designed specifically for players who need a wider tonal range without switching guitars.
Narrowfield pickups are PRS's proprietary single-coil-style pickups designed to reduce hum while retaining the punchy, articulate character of a traditional single coil. They sit physically narrower than standard single coils, which is what gives them their name and their unique voice.
Yes, the Studio's tonal versatility makes it particularly well-suited for studio work, where different songs and parts may call for drastically different sounds. The ability to dial in vintage clean tones, scooped mid voicings, and full bridge humbucker output from one guitar keeps session work efficient.
The PRS Studio moves effortlessly from clean funk and blues to crunchy rock and high-gain lead tones. Its pickup range covers multiple genres without ever feeling like a compromise.
The push/pull tone control functions as a standard tone knob when left in its default position. Pulling it upward activates additional pickup switching options, unlocking combinations beyond what the 5-way blade switch provides on its own — giving you access to all seven available pickup configurations.
