Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
PRS’s Charcoal Phoenix is a right-handed limited-edition solidbody, restricted to 150 instruments worldwide. A violin-carved figured-maple top sits over a Fat Back mahogany body, paired with a chaltecoco neck and ziricote fingerboard. Its TCI bass and treble humbuckers run through volume and tone controls, a three-way selector, and two EQ mini-toggles that act as high-pass filters. The guitar comes with a hand-signed 40th Anniversary certificate and PRS ATA Multi-Fit Molded case.
