Stevensville, MD (September 23, 2008) - Paul Reed Smith Guitars is releasing the first Al DiMeola signature model, the Al Di Meola Prism. The production model guitar was officially introduced at Experience PRS 2008 on September 19th. Fans will recognize the guitar from the prototype that Di Meola used on tour with Return to Forever this summer. The 25" scale guitar is notable in that it is the first PRS guitar to sport so many colors. Its stained curly maple "9 top" features a bold, prism-like display of colors that, in true PRS style, still allows the beauty of the wood to stand out. The guitar has a Peruvian mahogany back and 10" radius neck with a 22 fret Mexican rosewood fingerboard. The neck features a custom Al Di Meola neck carve which is on the thinner side front-to-back, but is a bit wide across the fretboard. Other appointments include grommet-style locking tuners, abalone bird inlays, a tremolo bridge and 1957/2008 pickups. The pickups, which PRS afficionados are referring to as 5708's, are made with wire produced by the same machine that made wire for the much sought-after PAF pickups; it was recently acquired by PRS.
