Description

PRS SE Swamp Ash Special Charcoal

The PRS SE Swamp Ash Special is a unique offering in the growing PRS SE Series. With a swamp ash body and 22-fret maple neck with maple fretboard, the SE Swamp Ash Special is a fresh face and versatile voice.

The 85/15 “S” pickups flank a PRS-Designed AS-01 Single Coil “S” pickup in the middle position. The AS-01 Single Coil features both alnico and steel (hence the name), which adds mass to the pickups helping to create a powerful sound. Paired with a push-pull tone control and 3-way pickup switch, this pickup/electronics package gives players an array of sounds to enjoy, and the addition of PRS’s patented tremolo adds a touch more versatility. The overall tone of the PRS SE Swamp Ash Special offers tight lowend, bright but mellow high-end, and a welcome twangy tone that can reach “hot country,” blues, and even jazz territory.

PRS Patented Tremolo

  • Patented design, delivering tonal fidelity, player comfort, and tuning stability.

PRS-Designed Tuners

  • Designed to PRS's specifications, these lightweight tuners provide precise tuning and won't dampen your tone.

85/15 "S" & AS-01 Pickups

  • Three pickup layout with unique switching for an array of sounds that can cover “hot country” to blues and jazz.

Accolades

"I’m so impressed by the variety and range of tones you can get out of this guitar. The humbucker sound is so rich and warm and when you split to single coil the volume stays balanced without losing presence. I love the custom finish which gives a lot of style and finesse to this model, the neck is resonant, and its shape makes it very easy and comfortable to play.” - Giacomo Turra
