This is Myles Kennedy's first signature model. PRS points to his work in Alter Bridge, with Slash and the Conspirators and on his own records, and the guitar puts two Narrowfield MK pickups on a flat-top swamp ash body with a 22-fret maple neck, maple fretboard and 25.5" scale.
PRS voiced the Narrowfield MK to land between a humbucker and a single coil, starting from the Narrowfield's hum-free single-coil sound. The 5-way blade mixes humbucking and coil-split settings across both pickups, and the push/pull on the tone knob is a preset roll-off for the treble pickup, so pulling it trims the highs on that pickup. PRS Medium frets, a 10" radius and the Myles Kennedy neck shape (57/64" deep at the first fret) set the feel.
It suits a rock player drawn to the look of a vintage plate-bridge guitar. PRS built it to play as a rock guitar, though the shape and maple board will go to twang when asked. The NF 53 is the comparison: another Narrowfield guitar with a steel plate-style bridge, using Narrowfield DDs on a 3-way. Kennedy's "Geometric Owl" logo from his Ides of March solo release sits on the truss rod cover. Our pick is Hunter's Green, the finish we'd reach for first.
