PRS BOLT ON

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a PRS bolt-on guitar?

A PRS bolt-on guitar refers to a type of Electric Guitar from Paul Reed Smith that features a neck attached to the body with bolts, rather than being glued in or set through. This construction method enhances the guitar's resonance and sustain, offering a distinct feel and tonal quality.

2. How does a PRS bolt-on differ from other construction methods?

PRS bolt-on guitars differ from set-neck or neck-through designs in how the neck is attached to the body. Bolt-on necks allow for easier adjustment and repair, and they typically provide a snappier tone with a more defined attack compared to the warmer tones of set-neck guitars.

3. Can I find PRS bolt-on models at Musicstreet?

Yes, Musicstreet, among the best guitar shops in the UK, stocks a variety of PRS bolt-on models. Known for their quality selection and expert advice, Musicstreet can help you explore the unique characteristics of PRS bolt-on guitars to find the one that suits your playing style.

4. Are PRS bolt-on guitars suitable for bass players?

While PRS bolt-on construction is more commonly associated with Electric Guitar, PRS also offers Bass Guitars with bolt-on necks. These basses benefit from the same attributes of enhanced adjustability and distinctive tonal qualities that the bolt-on construction provides.

5. Do PRS bolt-on guitars come in Acoustic Guitar or Classical guitar models?

PRS bolt-on construction is primarily used for electric and bass guitars. PRS does produce Acoustic Guitars, but these typically feature traditional acoustic guitar construction methods rather than bolt-on necks, and Classical guitars generally do not employ bolt-on construction due to their specific tonal and structural requirements.
