Pearl: The Best Reason to Play Drums

 


Seven Decades of Value and Prestige

Pearl began in 1946 in a small backyard workshop in Sumida-ku Tokyo. Katsumi Yanagisawa was known for making quality music stands when local musicians began requesting drums. Choosing his company name to represent value and prestige, over seven decades later Pearl is known throughout the world as the most rcognisable name in drums.

Pearl's mission is to "Make and deliver superior quality musical instruments designed for the times to enrich the world with great music." To fulfill this mission, Pearl has established a vast network of manufacturing, engineering, sales, marketing, and distribution footprints around the world.

New 2021 PRS Guitars

 


SE Custom 24 in Three New Colours

The SE Custom 24 is a modern classic with roadworthy durability, addictive playability, and wide array of tones, making it a perfect workhorse guitar. Played by internationally touring artists, gigging musicians, and aspiring players, the SE Custom 24 features a maple top with shallow violin carve, mahogany back, wide thin maple neck, rosewood fretboard with bird inlays, and the PRS patented molded tremolo bridge. Its versatile sounds come from the 85/15 “S” pickups paired with a volume, push/pull tone control, and 3-way blade pickup selector. The SE Custom 24 brings “The One That Started It All” to the high-quality, more afordable SE Series.

Our Price $1349 or Rent for $15.47/wk




SE Custom 24-08 in Eriza Verde

The Custom 24 is the quintessential PRS guitar: the iconic guitar that started it all back in 1985. The Custom 24-08 keeps all the foundational specs of the instrument, while taking the Custom platform to new sonic territories. Like the Core Series instrument, the SE Custom 24-08 features two mini-toggle coil tap switches that individually split the humbuckers into true single coils for a total of eight pickups configurations. Classic design elements include a maple top, mahogany back, rosewood fretboard, 24 frets, 25” scale length, bird inlays, signature headstock logo, and PRS patented tremolo.

Our Price $1549 or Rent for $17.77/wk





Mark Holcomb SVN in New Walnut Finish


The SE Mark Holcomb SVN model truly stands on its own in the PRS lineup and delivers addictive playability thanks to some unique specifications, including a 24-fret, 26.5” scale length, wide thin satin maple neck with 20” radius ebony fretboard.
Holcomb’s signature Seymour Duncan Alpha and Omega 7-string pickups provide the right amount of output and articulation whether you’re playing sophisticated chords or solos and whether you’re playing alone or working in the mix of a band. Other specifications include black hardware, a 3-way blade pickup switch with push/pull tone knob for coil splitting, and the choice of a quilted maple or walnut veneer. The model is topped off with coil-taps for the pickups and a string-through, plate-style, 7-string bridge.

Our Price $1799 or Rent for $20.54/wk





SE Custom 22 Semi Hollow Body


The PRS SE Custom 22 Semi-Hollow has musical midrange and outstanding resonance. The semi-hollow body provides an airy, sweet tone but with a twist of the tone knob, the dual humbuckers can get plenty of bright spank. Additional appointments include a maple top, mahogany back and neck, rosewood fretboard, and dual 85/15 “S” pickups with volume and push/pull tone controls (for coil tapping) paired with a 3-way blade pickup selector. 85/15 “S” pickups lend remarkable clarity and extended high and low end to this semi-hollow’s voice.
The SE Custom 22 Semi-Hollow is both versatile and comfortable, making it a reliable tool for professionals, a solid choice for beginners, and a welcome addition to any arsenal.


Our Price $1399 or Rent for $15.93/wk






SE Custom Tremonti in Charcoal Burst


Mark Tremonti is one of rock's leading guitarists. While Creed was on tour in support of their first record, My Own Prison, Mark was contacted by PRS and asked if he would like to try one of their guitars.
He began to collaborate with PRS on his dream guitar that would soon become the Mark Tremonti Signature Model. He needed pickups that were a little more aggressive and could complement his rhythm playing which contains a lot of palm muting. The neck of the guitar needed to accommodate his style, influenced by thrash metal, shred, and traditional blues. PRS met these needs with the Pattern Thin neck carve.
This year the PRS SE Custom Tremonti comes in a brand new Charcoal Burst finish.

Our Price $1349 or Rent for $15.47/wk





SE Standard 24 in Vintage Cherry


Perfect as a first guitar or the last guitar you’ll ever need, the PRS SE Standard 24 faithfully recreates the foundational design of the Custom 24, PRS’s flagship model, with all-mahogany body construction. This guitar features classic PRS appointments, including a 24-fret mahogany neck (set neck construction), rosewood fretboard with bird inlays, 85/15 “S” pickups, and the PRS patented molded tremolo, resulting in a guitar that handles well and sounds as good plugged straight into an amp as it does run through a pedal board.
The SE Standard 24 is a modern instrument with a powerful voice for players who demand a rock-solid, reliable guitar.

Our Price $999 or Rent for $11.31/wk
