PRS Wood Library Modern Eagle V Quilt Top - Copperhead Burst

Some guitars are built. Others feel discovered—like a rare signal drifting through deep space. This PRS Wood Library Modern Eagle V in Copperhead Burst is one of those instruments: a stunning, tone-shaping machine crafted from exceptional tonewoods and finished with cosmic attention to detail.

At the heart of this build is a breathtaking Quilt Maple 10-Top, glowing beneath a rich Copperhead Burst that shimmers like a distant star. Instead of the traditional mahogany body, this Wood Library edition pairs the top with a Swamp Ash back, delivering a lively, articulate response with added snap and clarity. The violin carve enhances both the visual depth of the quilt and the resonance of the instrument.

The neck is just as extraordinary. A one-piece Figured Maple neck, stained to match, creates a seamless visual flow from body to headstock while adding brightness and definition to the guitar’s voice. Paired with an Ebony fingerboard, the feel is fast, precise, and effortlessly smooth under the fingers. PRS’s comfortable Pattern neck profile and 25" scale length offer the familiar playability that has made PRS instruments favorites among professionals worldwide.

Tonally, the Modern Eagle V is designed for exploration. Its TCI treble and bass humbuckers combine with the NS-01 single-coil middle pickup and a sophisticated switching system to unlock a galaxy of tones. A 5-way blade switch, push/pull tone control, and dual mini-toggle EQ switches allow players to move from full humbucker power to articulate single-coil sparkle and everything in between. Whether you’re chasing crystalline cleans, expressive fusion textures, or powerful modern rock tones, this guitar adapts instantly.

Hardware is equally refined. The PRS Gen III Patented Tremolo and Phase III locking tuners with wing buttonsprovide exceptional tuning stability and expressive vibrato performance, while hybrid nickel hardware adds a subtle visual contrast that complements the Copperhead Burst finish.

Every detail of this Wood Library instrument reflects PRS’s commitment to craftsmanship—from the Ebony headstock veneer with signature inlay to the high-gloss nitro finish that allows the woods to resonate freely while showcasing their natural beauty.

At 7 lbs 9 oz, this Modern Eagle V is perfectly balanced and ready for the stage, studio, or collection. It ships in a PRS Paisley Hardshell Case, ensuring your instrument travels as safely as it sounds spectacular.

This isn’t just a guitar—it’s an invitation to explore new sonic frontiers.
