A faithful devotee since acquiring his first Custom 22 at the age of 14, the Shinedown lead guitarist was honored with his first SE signature model - a triple-humbucker single-cut in 2010. The recently released SE Zach Myers is the third PRS model to bear his name, and it does so while adding a new degree of elegance.
In addition to his incendiary chops, Myers' guitar-tech experience made him well primed to spec out an impressive new signature model, and the SE Zach Myers displays several thoughtful design touches as a result. Based on the PRS single-cut shape and construction, it sports a chambered mahogany body with maple cap and flame-maple veneer. The top is bound in single-ply white plastic rather than the traditional PRS "maple reveal" edge - other than within the cutaway, which displays the depth of the maple cap. The top is finished in what PRS has dubbed Myers Blue, complemented by the clear knobs from his previous signature model, with a matching flame-maple veneer on the headstock face (the first time such a feature has adorned an SE model) and "Zach Myers" engraved on the truss-rod cover.
