Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.

Description

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.

Sky Guitar by Uli Jon Roth features 30+ frets with scalloped design from 6th fret onward, enabling range exceeding five-and-a-half octaves. Custom John Oram 4-Coil Humbuckers provide full-sounding tone with singing sustain across extreme upper register. Limited to five handmade instruments, the Sky Guitar represents ultimate fusion and shred capability.
