PRS Private Stock Super Eagle II LTD John Mayer Product Overview by GAK

John Mayer & PRS are back with the second edition of his popular Super Eagle guitar. Used by Mayer on his 2016 tour, the new model offers up a host of exciting modifications.

The guitar is made up up of a one piece Private Stock curly maple back, combined with an African blackwood fingerboard and a headstock veneer. Details on the fretboard included stunning Paua birds and green ripple abalone, alongside the PRS private stock eagle.

The 25.375" scale length, is longer than you'd find on a traditional PRS guitar.

Alongside the specially-wound 58/15 JM treble and bass pickups, there is also now an extra JM pickup in the middle position, delivering bright and clear tone. The onboard JCF audio preamp provides you with treble boost control.

This limited edition model (only 120 instruments available worldwide) comes in a timeless Hemp Green finish.

PRS Product Overview

It’s no secret that John Mayer’s main guitar on tour with Dead & Company has been the PRS Super Eagle, launched last spring. During the 2016 tour, PRS made Mayer a second version of that instrument with some updated woods and aesthetic appointments. Mayer played the Super Eagle II on the very last show of the 2016 tour and is continuing to play it for Dead & Company’s 2017 summer tour. PRS and Mayer are excited to offer this new version, the Super Eagle II, to fans and collectors.

Some of the specifications Mayer and Smith collaborated on for this special run of instruments include a longer (for PRS) scale length of 25.375”, specially-wound 58/15 JM treble and bass pickups with a specially-wound Narrowfield JM pickup in the middle position (with three individual coil-tap mini-switches), a JCF Audio preamp with treble boost, as well as a hand-signed sticker in the f-hole of the guitar that was designed by Mayer’s friend David Smith (who also designed the cover art for Mayer’s 2012 “Born and Raised” album). The pickups deliver a bright, clear tone that has been heard in venues across the USA in Mayer’s recent performances with Dead & Company.

Some new woods and aesthetic choices were also selected for the Super Eagle II, including a one piece Private Stock curly maple back, African blackwood fingerboard and headstock veneer, paua birds and a green ripple abalone 12th fret violin bird and Private Stock eagle, as well as a new colour: Hemp Green.

The Private Stock Super Eagle II is a highly-sophisticated instrument that at once reveres the history of guitar-making and guitar tone but pushes the boundaries of materials, design, and craftsmanship. The resulting instrument embodies the PRS Private Stock culture of meticulous workmanship as well as Mayer’s keen eye for playability, tone, and detail.

The Private Stock Super Eagle II will be limited to 120 instruments.
