"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." --- Mark Tremonti
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. 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 Tremonti neck carve.
Constructed from a Mahogany body and neck, they have been adorned with a stunning Flamed Maple top and Rosewood fingerboard respectively. This combination of woods offers a rich, crystal-clear response that's both resonant and snappy - perfect for Tremonti's playing style.
It is not just about the sound though, as the feel of a guitar is just as important. That's why the Tremonti's Mahogany neck has a very playable PRS carve based on the 'Pattern Thin' design, although modified slightly to fit Mark's hands better for his signature chunky rhythms and soaring leads.
The PRS Gen III tremolo has a lot more control than you would expect with most classic style trems, ensuring optimal tuning stability and tone. Using only the strongest materials available, this bridge is rooted deep into the guitar, so you get amazing strength and resonance. Top it off with PRS' Phase III locking tuners, and you've got a guitar that's equipped for the most rigorous of touring schedules!
PRS likes to make everything in-house, and when it comes to making the Tremonti - this philosophy was no different. These humbucking pickups have been custom-designed to deliver crushing high-gain tones in the bridge position, and a rounded smoother sound in the neck that is perfect for leads and cleans. Tonally these still have the classic PRS character, just with a slight bit more bite so that you can cut straight through a mix.
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.
