Description

The PRS Mark Tremonti Signature model is the result of a long and close relationship between Mark and Paul Reed Smith Guitars. Mark Specified all aspects of the model including locking tuners, PRS mult-adjustable bridge, gleaming black finish, customized truss rod cover and spesical 12th fret inlay. He worked closely with the R&D Department to design the Tremonti neck and bridge pickups that give this guitar maximum body, cut and pick attack. Available on no other guitar, these are the most powerful pickups that PRS makes.

MARK TREMONTI
Mark Tremonti is one of rock’s leading guitarists. As the guitarist of Alter Bridge and Creed. He has met extraordinary success and continues to grow as both a guitar player and songwriter. 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.

“I jumped at the idea to play one of PRS’ guitars. PRS was one of those guitars that I could never afford in high school or college and had always wanted to play one.” PRS sent Mark a McCarty model which he instantly fell in love with. He played that guitar exclusively for a while, but ultimately wanted a guitar that was more suited to his playing style.

Mark Tremonti 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.
