"It’s simple. It’s light. It’s classic, and it’s powerful." PRS are happy that after many years of discussing concepts like this, they are finally able to bring them to market and give people new options.
It’s definitely a ‘less is more statement,’ but quality is still the most important feature of this guitar." – Joe Knaggs, Director of R&D.

The Mira X features a solid African basswood body, a sipo mahogany neck and a pau ferro fretboard.
This wood selection contributes to the light-weight, understated look and feel of this guitar.
Available in three classic colors, Vintage Cherry, Black and Sepia Burst.
The Mira X has the traditional PRS tapered headstock, gloss black to the front and rear, with the PRS signature logo in gold on the face, and MIRA X underneath. A large plain black truss rod cover is also here.
The rear is pretty much plain, apart from a handpainted serial number and 2 rows of 3-a-side vintage Kluson style tuners with brass posts and light green buttons.
The Sipo neck has a gloss finish, as does the whole guitar, and it's got a moderately chunky feel, almost a C profile, PRS call it their 'wide fat' neck. The black plastic nut width is 43mm.
The fretboard is made of Pau Ferro, it's unbound, light in colour with a nice tight grain, is very hard and has large white Abolone position markers. Fretwork is superb as you'd expect, no graininess or rough edges here, making for an extremely pleasant guitar to play.
Action as supplied from the factory is low at 3mm on the bass side, 2mm on treble.
Sipo is an African wood, related to Mahogany, Pau Ferro is a South American wood often used for fretted instruments, similar to Rosewood but harder and lighter in colour.
The neck joins the Basswood body at the 21st fret on both sides of this double cutaway guitar, so no upper access problems here. The treble cutaway has a bit of extra chamfering to make getting to the top even easier.
The first thing you'll notice when you pick the Mira up is its weight. It's very light, under 2.5kg, making an excellent choice for younger players or anyone where instrument weight is issue.
The body is flat on both the front and back, the front has a large, black curvy scratchplate, a master volume and tone control and 3 way selector switch. The bridge is Nickel, with a wraparound string style, all held on the guitar by 2 large brass bolts. All of this aids the resonanace directly into the body of course.
Played acoustically, the Mora is loud, with plently of woody sounding bass reverberating through the body. This transfers nicely into the clean channel, loads of vibrant, clean sounds coming through both pickups, the neck a little less bright.
On the overdrive channel, the Mira performs well, loads of sustain and power, but with the gain up high, things get a little mushy, this guitar is not at it's best here, but for general rock, blues and jazz, punk and modern power pop, this is a great guitar.
