Paul Reed Smith's Modern Eagle II apparently builds on the tradition of the Modern Eagle with premium grade wood, classic Modern Eagle frets and a Modern Eagle wide fat neck carve. It boasts an all-new pickup system, updated finishing techniques, new colours and a Modern Eagle case. The 1957/2008 pickups offered standard on the Modern Eagle II allow players to achieve both vintage and modern sounds. PRS have apparently obtained exclusive rights to the original pickup wire used in the most revered pickups in the 50s. They've also obtained the rights to the wire in 2008, and 1957 was the year the humbucker was first commercially available, giving rise to the 1957/2008 name. Curly Modern Eagle grade maple tops with premium mahogany backs and select Dalbergia wide fat necks are standard on all Modern Eagle II models. Other features include 22 frets, 25" scale length, custom Modern Eagle II birds with select green abalone bird outlines and iridescent paua heart filled centres, tremolo or stoptail bridge and a special paisley case with maroon crushed velvet interior . The high gloss nitro finish is available in four coluors: Faded Blue Jean, Charcoal, Red Tiger, Yellow Tiger. More
