The PRS Archtop Artist represents a different side of the company's late-1990s output, combining traditional hollowbody construction with the precision and refinement that define PRS. Finished in Amber, this 1999 example features a carved figured maple top and back, elegant Artist-grade appointments, and a design that draws inspiration from classic jazz guitars while maintaining a distinctly PRS identity. Its carved construction and carefully voiced humbuckers create a lively, resonant response that sets it apart from the company's solidbody offerings. Produced in relatively limited numbers, the Archtop Artist occupied a special place in the PRS lineup, showcasing the company's willingness to expand beyond its established designs. This example stands as a well-executed interpretation of the carved archtop, blending traditional influences with the unmistakable character of a late-'90s PRS.
Includes OHSC.
