Now this is one that got ahead of the pack. We’ve landed a 2011 PRS Artist V Limited in Purple Hazel that’s got some sweet mojo under the hood. We believe oonlhy a handful of Purple Hazels were built in this series, mainly with trems, but this is one of the exclusive few with a stoptail setup. Moreover this features the redesigned five-way switch adding single coil tones in positions two and four, the reliably playable Pattern Regular neck profile, V12 finish, and Phase III locking tuners. The Artist V humbuckers (with the added single coil switch positions) are incredibly versatile, and we love just how butter-smooth the playability is on this one. Paua Abalone birds with MOP outlines are inlaid along the fretboard and terminate in the classic PRS signature at the headstock in a professional and elegant touch. From tuner to (stop) tail, this 2011 Artist V Limited is gorgeous, effortless, and sweetly dynamic. We can’t think of anything else we’d want.
