For this masterpiece, PRS incorporated some design elements that they have never utilized before, such as; neck thru body construction, active EMG pickups in the neck and bridge positions, and above all outfitted the Torero with a Floyd Rose 1000 series tremolo. The man and legacy himself, Paul Reed Smith dubs this guitar as “the shredder’s dream” on their website. Other features include a 25 1/2″ scale length, mahogany body with a flame maple veneer, 3 piece maple neck with an ebony bound fingerboard with no inlay. Sounds delicious!

Well, I will be observing NAMM 2010 from webdom this year and hopefully provide some updates as I can. This is one great looking guitar that I came across while browsing GuitarNoize.com

DBZ Guitars unveils the Bolero Banneret, the first in the new Regalia Series of guitars debuting at the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) trade show January 14 in Anaheim, California. The new Regalia Series takes guitar building, features and appointments to a new level by incorporating ornate metal embellishments. Utilizing new CNC technology, combined with old world hand casting, the ornate metal castings are of jeweler quality, detail and finish.

The Regalia Series will broaden the existing models by incorporating a finely crafted, metal, set-in on the bodies of the instruments. The ornate metal casting is designed in high detail and finished in 24k gold and nickel. To compliment the body’s metal casting, each guitar will have a matching truss rod cover at the headstock.

In addition to the new inlay, standard features of the Bolero Banneret include:
24.75” Set neck
Mahogany/Maple bodies
Mahogany neck/Ebony fingerboards
22 frets
Premier inlays
DBZ pick ups
Volume and Tone controls
