PRS continues to expand its guitar concepts with the introduction of the Mira X, the first 22-fret, 24-1/2" scale-length guitar in the Mira series of PRS guitar models. Appearing for the first time at this year's Winter NAMM in Anaheim, the Mira X's retro inspired design and appointments compliment others in the Mira series, but the flatter, streamlined Mira X top and lighter weight body gives new options to players in search of instruments with PRS craftsmanship, but with subtle and understated style.

The unique X wood palette includes a solid African basswood body, a Sipo mahogany neck and a Pau Ferro fretboard that contribute to the light-weight understated look and feel of this guitar, as do the dot inlays, vintage style tuning pegs and nickel hardware. Mira X Treble and Bass pickups, volume and tone controls and a three-way pick up selector on a black pickguard round out the electronics package. Color packages are Vintage Cherry, Black and Sepia Burst.

"It's simple. It's light. It's classic, and it's powerful. We're happy that after many years of discussing concepts like this, we are finally able to bring them to market and give people new options," said Joe Knaggs, Director of Research and Development. "It's definitely a 'less is more' statement, but quality is still the most important feature of this guitar."

I wish the pickguard was a different color...the guitar doesn't really have any visual "pop" to it with so much darkness.

I wouldn't mind trying one...Do they make anything like this with the scale length but in another body wood?

the SC245 and the Starla are all 24 1/2" scale.

So do you think PRS is trying to reach out to all the folks that would rather have Gibsons?

That's not bad - it doesn't have all that PRS flash that I have grown to dislike. I would like to see/hear it with some P90s.

the SC245 and regular Mira, yes.
the Starla is squarely directed at the Gretsch market.
this guitar is basswood, so i really can't say who its aimed at.

Get rid of the pickguard and it would look a lot better. I like it though - but since it is a PRS the asking price is probably too high.

Aahzz has one. If I were in the market for a guitar right now, I'd have one. Black on black looks pretty good in person.

Meh.

It's alright I guess, but nothing special...looks wise anyway. It may be the best playing and best sounding guitar in the world though. idn_smilie

Not exactly what I think of when I think PRS. I know they're trying to break in to the everyman market but it's not my cup of tea. They may as well slap Squier on the headstock. tongue0

SC250 all the way. AOK
