Description
The PRS SE Swamp Ash Special is a unique offering in the growing PRS SE Series. The combination of a swamp Ash body and 22-fret Maple neck with Maple fretboard, makes the SE Swamp Ash Special a great choice for someone wanting a guitar with unique tonal qualities. 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.
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 5-way blade pickup switch, this pickup/electronics package gives players an array of sounds to enjoy. The PRS’s patented tremolo adds a touch more versatility.
