Similarity
citedBlended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.

PRS Al Di Meola Prism is a double-cutaway signature model featuring a 25-inch scale length, carved curly maple top with multicolor prism-like finish, mahogany back, 1957/2008 pickups, and a custom Al Di Meola neck carve with 10-inch radius. The longer scale and extended upper-fret access support the virtuosic jazz-fusion playing Al Di Meola is known for.
