PRS Mango Top Limited Edition Studio - Cobalt Smokeburst #422166

The PRS Mango Top Limited Edition Studio – Cobalt Smokeburst is a striking fusion of exotic tonewoods, refined craftsmanship, and versatile modern electronics, built for players who demand both visual distinction and tonal depth. At first glance, the guitar’s figured mango top immediately captures attention, its organic grain patterns enhanced by the dramatic Cobalt Smokeburst finish. Beneath this visually arresting top lies a mahogany back, forming a classic tonewood pairing that delivers warmth, resonance, and balanced sustain. The violin carve adds elegant contouring, giving the instrument a sculpted feel that sits comfortably against the player while elevating its boutique aesthetic. Finished in gloss nitro, the body not only looks luxurious but also allows the wood to breathe and resonate more freely over time.

The guitar features a 25-inch scale length and a 22-fret configuration, offering a familiar yet highly playable platform. The mahogany neck is crafted from a single piece for maximum stability and tonal consistency, and it incorporates a PRS double-acting truss rod for precise adjustment. Shaped in PRS’s Pattern profile, the neck feels substantial yet comfortable, with carefully measured depths—7/8” at the 1/2 fret and 61/64” at the 12 1/2 fret—ensuring a natural grip across the entire fretboard. The ziricote fretboard, with its rich, dark character and smooth response, is adorned with PRS’s Old School Birds inlays outlined for added visual clarity and elegance. A 10” radius strikes a perfect balance between chordal comfort and lead playability, while the PRS standard fret wire (.104” width and .047” height) provides a precise and consistent fretting experience.

Attention to detail continues through the headstock, which features a matching ziricote veneer and PRS’s inlaid signature, reinforcing the instrument’s premium identity. Hardware is finished in a distinctive smoked black, complementing the guitar’s darker visual palette. The PRS Gen III patented tremolo bridge offers exceptional tuning stability and expressive capability, while the Phase III locking tuners ensure quick string changes and rock-solid performance. The PRS nut and Studio truss rod cover round out the instrument’s thoughtful construction.

Tonally, this Studio model is built for versatility. It is equipped with a PRS McCarty III T treble pickup for articulate, vintage-inspired bite in the bridge position, paired with PRS Narrowfield pickups in the middle and bass positions. This unique combination delivers a wide tonal spectrum—from full, warm lows to crisp, detailed highs—while maintaining clarity and note separation. The control layout includes a master volume and a push/pull tone control, along with a 5-way blade switch, giving players access to a variety of humbucking and single-coil-style voices suitable for everything from clean textures to driven lead tones.

Strung with PRS Signature 10–46 strings and set up in standard tuning (E, A, D, G, B, E), the guitar is performance-ready straight out of the case. It also includes a hardshell case for protection and transport, underscoring its status as a premium, limited-edition instrument. Altogether, the PRS Mango Top Limited Edition Studio – Cobalt Smokeburst stands as a compelling blend of artistry, innovation, and tonal flexibility—an instrument equally at home on stage, in the studio, or as the centerpiece of a discerning collection.
