Personal Thoughts:
The original Modern Eagle is one of the most sought-after PRS models ever built—and this one's a stunner. The Faded Denim Blue finish is beautifully mellowed, with a killer maple top that looks three-dimensional under the light. The Brazilian rosewood neck and fretboard elevate this into serious collector territory, not to mention the tone.Tonally, it sits somewhere between a McCarty and a Custom 22, but with more bloom, more bite, and a wonderfully responsive midrange thanks to the RP pickups. There’s something alive about this guitar—you feel every note under your fingers.
One of the finest PRS guitars ever made, plain and simple.
