The P245 is a vintage-inspired single-cutaway guitar that is perfect for players who prefer short-scale guitars. This versatile instrument also features the L.R. Baggs/PRS piezo system, providing players with both electric guitar tones and authentic acoustic tones in one instrument. With two output jacks, the P245 can be plugged directly into an electric or acoustic amplifier or DI into a soundboard. By utilizing the separate blend control, the tone of the P245’s 58/15 pickups can also be combined with acoustic sounds through a single output. The P245 is one of the first models to feature the new 58/15 treble and bass pickups, which were personally designed by Paul Reed Smith. 58/15's are a vintage-style pickup with exceptional clarity and focused midrange. These pickups paired with a shorter 24.5" scale length and 22 frets, give the P245 a truly classic voice that is imminently recordable and gig-ready.
This model benefits from the Artist Package upgrade. The PRS Artist Package program is an exclusive platform for PRS Core guitars that offers upgraded and expanded options to enhance and further personalize your instrument. Artist Package instruments represent the most distinctive pieces available from the PRS Core production line. The tonewood upgrades the P245 include Brazilian rosewood on the fretboard and a gorgeous carved figured maple top.
Includes hardshell case.
