1 VIBRATO PRS's classic re-design of the Fender vibrato floats parallel to the face of the guitar. This version, also used on the USA-made S2 and CE guitars, is all steel in construction and has a push-in arm with swing tension adjustment.
2 PICKUPS The 'S' pickups are designed in the USA but made by Cor-Tek's pickup-making division, PSE. PRS is tight-lipped about what's inside although the double black bobbins differ from the zebra-coiled 'S'versions of the USA 85/15 humbuckers used on the start-up SE Standard.
3 CONTROLS While the basic three-way toggle pickup selector with master volume and tone is a setup well used by PRS, each pickup has its own two-way mini-toggle switch to select full humbucking and 'true'single coil.

Into the groove with Giacomo Turra, the Italian guitarist who made his name covering classics by Stevie Wonder, Bruno Mars and more... Born in Milan, his funk guitar sensibility can be traced back to the dance studio where his mother taught, and the tunes he heard blasting out of her boombox. "I like to experiment with a lot of genres, but the really interesting thing for me is I really grew up on funk, and a little bit of jazz and fusion music," he says.
