-----------------------------

In this PRS 509 guitar review demo, I take you through several different humbucker and single-coil tones played in the style of familiar classic rock songs. You hear how the five pickups sound when played clean as well as when played using overdrive and distortion. Everything is played using various rigs in a Kemper Profiler Amplifier and the audio is captured directly by Final Cut Pro. No audio editing or mastering is applied.

This could very well be the "Ultimate Cover Band Guitar." Not only does it convincingly cover Les Paul-like and Stratocaster-like sounds with a bit of Tele thrown in, but it has its own distinct character too, perfect for creating your own style. With superior ergonomics and one of the smoothest, most stable tremolo systems in the business, the 509 is a dream to play. Like all PRS core line guitars, the fit and finish is 💯 percent stellar!

🤔 What's your favorite sound in this video?
