Paul Reed Smith PRS Mark Lettieri Signature Model Fiore in Larkspur

Presenting the PRS Mark Lettieri Signature Model Fiore, this one in Larkspur Blue.The PRS Fiore model continues PRS Guitars’ journey into the bolt-on, single-coil guitar world. Developed with guitarist, composer, producer, and instructor Mark Lettieri, the PRS Fiore offers a modern aesthetic, effortless playability, and an addictive and sophisticated tonal canvas.“All guitarists have a sound in their head – a sound that evolves and grows as they progress, discovering all of the beautiful idiosyncrasies that define their individual voice. To facilitate this process, players need a vibrant, dynamic guitar that becomes a free space in which their personality can unfold. PRS and I designed Fiore (Italian for ‘flower’) to be this guitar.” – Mark LettieriThe newly-designed PRS Fiore pickups were carefully voiced by Lettieri and PRS to allow players a platform to explore and find their voice. The Fiore-S single coil offers exceptional malleability in tone. Capable of capturing all the articulation found in everything from whisper-quiet melodies to full on funk and rock explosivity, this pickup reacts to each players unique approach.The Fiore-H humbucker fulfills Mark’s desire for extensive versatility in the bridge position: enough power and punch for high-gain lead tones, but with a smooth top end that allows the pickup to be played clean, even with the volume knob wide open. Both the Fiore-S and -H work seamlessly together, producing balance, clarity, and that elusive ‘bloom’ in all five positions.The tonal exploration doesn’t stop there...... The Fiore model features a 5-way blade switch with traditional wiring (bridge/bridge + middle/middle/middle + neck/neck), but also features a single volume and two push/pull tone controls, which further adds to this guitar’s tone-shaping abilities. The 2nd Tone control allows you to switch between Series and Parallel for the humbucker.The 1st Tone Control when pulled up allows you to combine the Neck and Bridge Pickups in the 1st and 5th switch positions, and allow you to combine all 3 pickups in positions 2 and 4 for additional versatility.Lettieri brought several personal design choices to this model, including a custom truss rod cover drawn by his very own mom. Other appointments include a Swamp Ash body, 22 fret maple neck with maple fretboard, and 25.5” scale length for classic look and feel.
