Description
Stand out from the crowd with the PRS SE Swamp Ash Special. Part of the budget-friendly SE Series, this fresh-faced electric is constructed around a striking swamp ash body paired with a durable maple neck and fingerboard for extra snap and bite. A PRS-Designed AS-01 single-coil "S" pickup sits tucked between two 85/15 "S" humbuckers, delivering crisp tones versatile enough to handle everything from rock and country to blues and jazz. Plus, a PRS patented tremolo adds even more sonic expression to your playing and a touch of flair to any solo. Whether you were born on the bayou or you’re just dipping your toe in, the SE Swamp Ash Special provides style and comfort along with tons of tone and virtually endless options for sonic sculpting.
Lightweight Body, Balanced Sound
The PRS SE Swamp Ash Special electric offers a delectable balance of brightness and warmth, along with an articulation that makes it stand out in any mix. Plus, with ergonomic contours and the inherent lightness of swamp ash, this PRS solid-body guitar provides hours of comfortable playability whether it’s during a gig, rehearsal or recording session.
Maple Neck and Fretboard
Featuring a scarf joint for added durability, the neck of the PRS SE Swamp Ash Special is made from maple for a snappy tonal character and enhanced sustain. This is paired with a comfortable 22-fret fingerboard for easy movement whether you’re playing first-position chords or high-flying solos, and topped with the iconic, instantly recognizable PRS Bird inlays.
Powerful Pickup Configuration
Dual 85/15 "S" humbuckers flank a PRS-Designed AS-01 single-coil "S" pickup in the middle position, allowing for a multitude of tones. The AS-01 features both alnico and steel (hence the name), which adds mass to the pickup and sounds great overdriven. This versatile combination offers a tight low-end, a bright but mellow high-end and a twangy tone suited for a wide range of musical genres.
Shape Your Sound
Along with the HSH pickup configuration, the PRS SE Swamp Ash Special features a push-pull tone control and 3-way pickup switch to provide even more soundscapes to explore. Plus, this SE Series electric includes a PRS tremolo, making it easy to nail dive bombs and whammy attacks or add subtle vibrato to your playing.
No matter how you play, the PRS SE Series Swamp Ash Special gives you the tools to find your own sound and then add to it. With a versatile pickup configuration, 3-way switching and a PRS patented tremolo, this solid-body electric is a powerhouse addition to any guitarist’s collection. This budget-friendly SE Series electric is now available to try at your local Guitar Center.
