An ultra-versatile axe with distinct appointments truly set the Myles Kennedy apart! Myles Kennedy is known for his work in Alter Bridge, Slash and the Conspirators, and his own solo recordings, lending his own flavor blues and jazz style to rock guitar playing. This new signature model mirrors Kennedy’s rock sensibilities with a nod to historic designs. While the aesthetic may have players hearing chicken pickin’ in their heads – and this guitar can certainly reach twang territory – it is made to play like a rock machine.

‘This guitar captures the spirit of my favorite older instruments. With that said, since we developed this guitar, most of my vintage instruments rarely see the light of day,’ said Kennedy. The PRS Myles Kennedy signature guitar features a swamp ash body, a 22-fret, 25.5” scale length maple neck with maple fretboard, and two PRS Narrowfield MK pickups.
The PRS Narrowfield MK pickups were carefully voiced to capture the courage of humbuckers and the spank of single coils. PRS Narrowfields provided the perfect starting point for this design, with their ability to deliver thick single-coil sounds without the hum. These pickups are paired with a 5-way blade switch and a push/pull tone control that acts as a preset tone rolloff, bringing down the higher frequencies on the treble pickup so you can dig in to the fullest.
‘I watched Myles throughout his career alternate between humbucking and single coil sounds without giving anything up on either side. These pickups took us months to dial in, and I think they capture that balance that Myles mastered beautifully,’ said Paul Reed Smith. Other features include a PRS plate-style steel bridge, vintage-style locking tuners, bone nut, and Kennedy’s ‘Geometric Owl’ logo from his ‘Ides of March’ solo release, representing wisdom and adaptability.
