{"product_id":"paul-reed-smith-1997-artist-iii","title":"Paul Reed Smith Electric Guitars - 1997 PRS Artist III","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis used \u003cstrong\u003ePaul Reed Smith Artist III\u003c\/strong\u003e from 1997 is a fantastic player and, like all of PRS's guitars, is meant to be played fast. Made with a Mahogany body and Maple top, this has an Amber Sunburst finish, and is stocked with a pair of PRS' Artist Series humbuckers, fully capable of delivering some nice clean tones as well as some super harsh growls. The Mahogany neck and Rosewood fingerboard are a great combo for such a fast-playing guitar, and are both incredibly clean and smooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis has a 25\" scale and a 1 21\/32\" nut width (right between 1 5\/8\" and 1 11\/16\"). It plays great overall, whether you want to rock out or dial it down, and is in Excellent condition - you'll want to check it out and play it to believe how nice this guitar is. No dings or dents, only some light scratching (and those are hardly noticeable) on its back. It has some eye-catching appointments, too, including Paua headstock and fingerboard binding and bird inlays. The \u003cstrong\u003ePaul Reed Smith Artist III\u003c\/strong\u003e was only made for two years, in 1996 and '97, so these aren't seen often - and definitely not in this good of condition. Includes its original hardshell case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMahogany body with Maple top and Amber Sunburst finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25\" scale length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMahogany neck with Paua headstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosewood fingerboard with 22 frets and Paua binding and bird inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 21\/32\" nut width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Artist Series humbuckers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold PRS stoptail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-way rotary switch with Volume and Tone controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocking tuners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal hardshell case included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRS","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":4644226117,"sku":"ARTYIII","price":3199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0202\/0250\/products\/PaulReedSmith_ArtistIII-1997_front-close.jpg?v=1442340790","url":"https:\/\/massstreetmusic.mom\/products\/paul-reed-smith-1997-artist-iii","provider":"Mass Street Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
