As one of the most versatile guitars in the PRS lineup, the 509 harnesses the power of five pickups to deliver nine uniquely musical tones. The 509 starts with a five single-coil platform?with the outside four coils grouped as humbuckers. An innovative switching system (a 5-way blade switch and two mini-toggle coil-tap switches), gives players an array of humbucking, single-coil and blended tones.

Unique appointments include a longer 25.25' scale length which adds upper harmonic sparkle and the PRS Gen III Patented Tremolo which provides impressive sustain. It includes a hardshell case.



Gen III Tremolo
The Gen III trem functions in all the same ways as the PRS patented tremolo system always has. As always, the bridge is machined brass, a metal that rings beautifully. The block, intonation screws, height-adjustment screws, and the string slots on the saddles are all left un-plated for increased sustain and fidelity of tone.
