Paul Reed Smith Mark Tremonti - Cobalt Smokeburst #404317

The Paul Reed Smith Mark Tremonti in Cobalt Smokeburst is a powerful, expressive, and visually stunning instrument crafted to meet the exacting demands of one of modern rock's most iconic guitarists. Built in collaboration with Mark Tremonti—renowned for his work with Alter Bridge and Creed—this signature model is a fusion of aggressive tone, elegant design, and flawless playability. Whether you're navigating complex lead work or delivering crushing rhythm tones, the Tremonti model offers a commanding presence both visually and sonically.

At its core, the guitar features solidbody construction with a sculpted violin-carved maple Ten Top—a hallmark of PRS's most visually striking instruments. Finished in a striking Cobalt Smokeburst, the top’s deep, blue-black gradient is brought to life by a high-gloss nitrocellulose finish, which not only enhances the visual depth of the maple figuring but also allows the wood to resonate and age naturally over time. Paired with a mahogany back, this tonewood combination delivers a rich tonal palette—bold lows, warm mids, and articulate highs—that excels in both high-gain and clean applications.

The one-piece mahogany neck is set into the body for maximum resonance and sustain, carved to PRS’s fast and comfortable Pattern Thin profile. With a neck depth of 53/64" at the 1/2 fret and 57/64" at the 12 1/2 fret, the neck offers a slim yet substantial grip that’s perfect for fast runs and heavy riffing alike. The rosewood fretboard features a 10" radius and is decorated with PRS’s iconic bird inlays, adding a touch of elegance to the guitar’s modern edge. The 1 11/16" nut width and 2 1/4" width at the body provide a comfortable playing experience, whether you're chording down low or bending high up the neck.

Tonally, the guitar is equipped with a pair of Tremonti signature humbuckers, custom-voiced to deliver the aggressive, articulate, and harmonically rich tones Mark is known for. From tight, punchy rhythms to singing, saturated leads, these pickups are engineered to cut through the mix without losing clarity. Each pickup has its own dedicated volume and tone control, allowing for precise tonal shaping, while the 3-way toggle switch makes it easy to switch between pickups during live performance or studio tracking.

A standout feature of this model is the PRS Gen III Patented Tremolo system with a trem-up route, which gives players access to both upward and downward pitch movement with enhanced tuning stability and a smooth, responsive feel. Combined with PRS Phase III locking tuners, the system ensures that the guitar stays in tune—even with aggressive tremolo use. The hybrid hardware—a tasteful mix of nickel and gold—adds a unique visual flair, balancing the Cobalt Smokeburst’s cool aesthetic with just the right touch of warmth and contrast.

Additional appointments include the signature PRS logo on the headstock, a “Tremonti” truss rod cover, and factory-installed PRS Signature 10–46 strings, offering a balanced tension and feel suited for a wide range of styles. The PRS double-acting truss rod adds long-term adjustability and neck stability, making this guitar road- and studio-ready right out of the case.

The PRS Mark Tremonti in Cobalt Smokeburst is not just a signature model—it’s a fully realized professional-grade instrument built to inspire. It combines the elegance of PRS design with the brute power and precision required by one of rock’s most dynamic players. Whether you're crafting tight riffs, soaring leads, or rich cleans, this guitar is built to deliver—without compromise.
