Designed for pure performance
The Jonathan Jourdan Limited Edition was created with a singular purpose: deliver exactly what a professional touring guitarist needs and nothing more. Working closely with PRS, Jon Jourdan specified a stripped-back layout centred around a single bridge pickup and volume control. This minimalist approach removes distractions and allows players to focus entirely on performance. The simplified electronics also contribute to a more immediate feel, helping the guitar respond quickly and naturally to every picking nuance. Whether recording or playing live, the design keeps everything direct, intuitive and ready for action.
Powerful single-pickup aggression
At the heart of the guitar is a lone PRS Metal pickup in the bridge position. Designed specifically for heavier styles, it delivers exceptional output, tight low-end response and articulate note separation. Chords remain clear under high gain while lead lines cut effortlessly through dense mixes. By removing the neck pickup, there are no additional magnetic influences on string vibration, helping the instrument feel more open and lively. The result is a focused, aggressive voice that excels in modern rock and metal applications while retaining impressive clarity and dynamic response.
Premium PRS craftsmanship
An all-mahogany body and neck provide the foundation for the guitar's powerful voice, delivering warmth, sustain and strong midrange presence. The Pattern Regular neck carve offers a comfortable feel that suits a wide range of playing styles, while the ebony fretboard delivers a smooth playing surface and crisp attack. The absence of fretboard inlays reinforces the guitar's understated aesthetic, while green Luminlay side dots ensure clear visibility on dark stages. Together, these features create an instrument that feels refined, purposeful and exceptionally playable.
Built for life on the road
Every component has been selected with reliability in mind. PRS Phase III locking tuners provide fast string changes and excellent tuning stability, while the adjustable stoptail bridge allows precise intonation adjustment without sacrificing sustain. A proprietary PRS nut helps maintain consistent tuning performance, even under aggressive playing conditions. Finished in durable high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer and supplied with a PRS ATA moulded case, this instrument is ready for demanding touring schedules. Limited to only 200 examples worldwide and supplied with a hand-signed Jon Jourdan backplate, it also offers genuine collector appeal.
