Paul Reed Smith 408 MT Livingston - Lemondrop

PRS is proud to offer a new voice with the 408 Maple Top and 408 Standard. These inspiring new instruments, offered as both a maple top (MT) and all mahogany (Standard) version, bring the versatility and voicing of the Private Stock Signature and the Signature Limited Edition to PRS’s Core line.

PRS 408 pickups were designed to extend the guitar’s tonal spectrum by narrowing the field of the bass pickup to increase its focus and widening the field of the treble pickup to increase its sound field (hence their asymmetric appearance). This pickup configuration (comprised of four coils and offering eight sounds) stems back to Paul’s experimentation on the Sorcerer’s Apprentice guitars in the early 1980’s. Thanks to the simple but versatile switching system featuring mini-toggle switches that provide numerous combinations of humbucking and singlecoil tones, the 408 Maple Top and 408 Standard provide stunning articulation and musical clarity.

Beautiful maple top and finish, but I hate the pickup rings. Also not a fan of the birds.
 
I like it, but I would want the option to swap pickups...and good luck finding something to fit those crazy holes.
 
My perpetual desire to add another PRS to my collection (Custom 10 top w/ birds and CE-22 maple top) revolves around this guitar and the David Grissom model. This is one is cheaper and therefore only slightly less realistic.
