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.
