Summary:
Here we have arguable one of the BEST PRS’s guitars ever made. The Modern Eagle 1 was a highly desireable top of the range TONE BEAST featuring a Brazillian Rosewood fingerboard and a satin nitro finish. Comes with original suede PRS hard case.

Make: PRS Paul Reed Smith
Model: Modern Eagle I
Year built: 2004
Weight: 3.75Kg / 8lb 4oz (approx)
Hard case or Gig Bag? – Yes, original PRS gorgeous deluxe suede hard case

Body Condition: 7-8/10
From a few feet away it looks excellent. On close inspection you will find lots of signs of wear and tear, mostly minor but there are some dents. Some other minor scratches, polishing swirls, nothing too major or structural. It’s a satin nitro finish so it always did dent very easiliy. Not too much evidence of buckle rash on the back either but some light scratches and some dents.
photo’s give you a good idea of the dents and scratches but not every dent has been photographed. Hence the 7-8/10 rating. Hence the price ;o) Speaking of which if you would like to try this guitar (highly recommended) it is on display in our shop, can’t give you our address because of ebay rules, but there’s only one Guitar Mania in Poole lol

Neck: 8/10
The neck is a real highlight of this beauty. If you have never felt a Brazillian Rosewood neck then you are in for a real treat, it’s the main reason for buying this !
The frets are in very good condition with only very very minor signs of light wear and tear. No noticeable dents, dimples or flat spots.
There are some very very minor signs of age related wear on the rosewood but general wear and tear is much below what you’d expect. No particularly noticeable dents on the back and it feels exactly as you’d expect, lush !

Hardware: 8/10
The machineheads seem to be original and in good working order, some extremely light signs of tarnish.
The stop tail and saddles are also in very good condition with minimal signs of ageing and very slightly tarnished commensurate with age.

Electrics: 9/10
Sockets, pots and switches etc are wear and tear items. The electrics on this guitar have been tested and are in excellent working order, but my standard disclaimer is it’s a used guitar and one must expect SOME occasional electrical ‘scratching’ noise, crackling and popping when adjusting pots and switches. In our opinion the electrics on this guitar exhibit less than average ‘noise’ in normal play but there’s no guarantee how long they will stay in this condition.

Playability:
This guitar has been lovingly set up by Jon, one of the UK’s most highly regarded and experienced guitar techs.
That doesn’t mean this guitar is the best playing guitar ever, it just means that he has taken the time to set it up. Adjust the action, intonation etc so that it plays as well as can be expected and stays in tune as good as any guitar of this type does.
We all have differing styles and demands from our instruments. Some of us like fast n low actions for fretboard burning licks, others prefer a high n mightly action for show stopping windmills and downtuned heavy riffing and everything in between. No one set up suits all!
This specific guitar has been set up sympathetically for it’s style so has a fairly low action, and minimal fret buzzing. Re-strung with D’Addario EXL110 10-46

Case: Original PRS Brown suede deluxe case. Quite rare! In very good but not mint condition.

Priced with all of the above in mind but feel free to “make an offer”.
