Mira 245 25th anniversary

[Porseen]

Hello,

I recently bought one of these and totally love it. However I’m struggling to find any information about it, like how many was made. Can’t seem to find it on PRS “guitar history” either.

anybody has information would be really appreciated

I can't answer your question, but I bought the last one Musician's Friend had from the run. I loved it EXCEPT that the neck carve just wasn't as large as I like, so I returned it.

Here's a couple little bits of info--not sure how much these will answer your specific questions:

My first-ever PRS was actually a used 25th Anniversary Mira 245 Soapbar, and man it really was the perfect embodiment of what makes a LP Special so great. (Why did I sell it? The world will never know. Although, I've recently come almost-full-circle and I now own a McCarty Soapbar, so... I'm back and I'm happy.)

I suppose the more popular version(s) of the Mira were humbucker-equipped, though. But still, from what I experienced with my soapbar, they were very comfortable, very lightweight, and very straightforward players' guitars. The Pattern Regular neck shape on mine wouldn't appeal to the "baseball-bat" neck enthusiasts, but I found it to be comfortable and a perfect fit for how the guitar felt overall.

I have one as well - don’t know how many were made, other than to say it was a somewhat limited number, probably in the low hundreds, just based on how many I’ve seen pop up in the wild - I watched them for a while when I was looking for one.

The pickups are SD ceramics, it’s kind of an oddball set that PRS specs by using one of their hot neck pickups as a bridge pickup, or something like that - it’s the same set that came in most of their other P90 guitars until they changed over to the Antiquities on the 594’s.

Another fun fact, the neck is somewhat of a rarity amongst PRS guitars, it has the same carve that became the standard on the S2’s, but in a 24.5” scale. The Mira X also had a 24.5” scale, but was a significantly bigger neck shape (wide/fat).

I found the stock pickups mildly overbearing in the low mids, and changed mine out for the standard P90 set from SD. I could see myself even going to a set of the Lollar alnico pole P90’s, or a set of soapbar mount TV Jones pickups, to add even more chime. But that just depends on how I want to use it, the current P90’s are great for ballsy rock tones.

Congrat's, I'd love to see it but your pic isn't showing up.

I have one too and it's a great guitar though I don't play it as much as my Hollowbody's. I need to set mine up better then I'd play it more. My only guitar with P90's.
It would be nice if PRS had some kind of site where you could see the history of their guitars like how many of the aniv models were made. I bought mine used and what's weird is it came with a white 25th aniv case but there is no writing on the case, it's just a white case and is the same color as the one my 25 anvi HBII came in.

Here's a link to the wayback machine web site for when these came out:
