PRS Modern Eagle II - USA 2008

Here is a 2008 PRS Modern Eagle II finished in Tiger Burst, a flagship-grade instrument from Paul Reed Smith that showcases some of the finest tonewoods and craftsmanship of the era. The Modern Eagle II series is widely regarded as one of PRS’s most refined production models, combining boutique-level construction with exceptional tonal flexibility and unmistakable visual appeal.

This example features a heavily figured flame maple top over a lightweight mahogany body, delivering a rich, balanced tonal foundation with excellent sustain and harmonic complexity. The standout feature is the East Indian rosewood neck and fretboard, which adds warmth, depth, and a uniquely smooth, responsive playing feel not found on standard mahogany-neck PRS models.

Electronics are anchored by PRS 1957/2008 humbuckers, offering a wide dynamic range from articulate, glassy cleans through to thick, vocal overdrive tones. The push/pull coil-splitting system further expands versatility, providing crisp single-coil-style textures alongside its full humbucker voice, making it highly adaptable across genres and playing styles.

The wide-fat neck profile feels substantial yet exceptionally comfortable, with a fast, polished response that encourages expressive lead work and confident chordal playing. Overall resonance is strong, with a lively, open feel that reflects the quality of its construction and tonewoods.

This example is in superb condition, showing only light signs of careful handling. It comes complete with its original PRS leather hardshell case and accompanying paperwork.
