Best PRS Electric Guitars With Coil Tap Switch in 2023
Here are the top PRS electric guitars with Coil Tap switch. This will allow you to get a single-coil sound out of your humbucker once you activate the power tap. The way it works is that it cuts part of the power coming from one of the coils, which ends up giving you a more real single-coil sound.
