"All guitarists have a sound in their head - a sound that evolves and grows as they progress, discovering all the beautiful idiosyncrasies that define their individual voice. To facilitate this process, players need a guitar that is vibrant and dynamic that becomes a free space in which their personality can unfold. PRS and I designed Fiore (Italian for “flower”) to be this guitar” –Marc Lettieri.
The PRS Fiore model continues PRS Guitars' journey into the world of bolt-on single-coil guitars. Developed with guitarist, composer, producer and instructor Mark Lettieri, the PRS Fiore offers a modern aesthetic, effortless playability and an addictive and sophisticated tonal canvas.
The PRS Fiore pickups have been carefully voiced by Lettieri and PRS to allow players to explore and find their voice. The Fiore-S single coil offers exceptional malleability in tone. Capable of capturing all the articulation found in everything from quiet melodies to the full explosiveness of funk and rock, this mic responds to each player's unique approach.
The Fiore-H humbucker fulfills Lettieri's desire for great versatility in the treble position: enough power and punch for high-gain lead tones, but with a smooth top end that allows the pickup to be played cleanly, even with the volume knob wide open. The Fiore-S and -H work together seamlessly, producing balance, clarity and that elusive “bloom” in all five positions.
But the exploration of tones does not stop there. The Fiore model has a 5-position blade switch with traditional wiring (bridge/bridge + middle/middle/middle+neck/neck). The Fiore also features a single volume and two push/pull tone controls, which further adds to the tone shaping capabilities of this guitar.
Lettieri brought several personal design choices to this model, including a custom truss rod cover drawn by his own mother. Other appointments include a swamp ash body, 22-fret maple neck with maple fingerboard, and a 25.5-inch scale length for a classic look and feel.
