The PRS Swamp Ash Special is built for players who demand a stage-ready workhorse electric guitar that’s built to be versatile! With a variety of jaw-dropping finishes available, there is a Swamp Ash Special to suit every type of player.

Swamp Ash has specifically been selected due to its unrivalled tonal balance across the whole EQ spectrum with articulate highs and rich resonate lows and mids. Its 22 frets over a 25” scale length make this guitar equipped for everything and is comfortable to play up and down the whole fingerboard and the 58/15 humbucker pickups with Narrowfield middle provide powerful, versatile tones with the perfect balance of punch and clarity.

Key Features

  • PRS Patented Tremolo – One of the designs that helped put PRS on the map back in the ‘80s! The perfect balance of comfort, tuning stability and tonal transfer.
  • Phase III Tuners – The perfect blend of vintage aesthetic and modern design. Utilising unplated brass shafts for unparalleled tonal transfer as well as precision gear ratios for effortless tuning the Phase III tuners are possibly the most thought-out guitar tuners.
  • 58/15 LT – Vintage-inspired humbuckers that offer an open and lively full-frequency sound with enhanced mids and focused articulation.

Unbelievably Versatile

With its duo of 58/15LT humbuckers in combination with the Narrowfield middle pickup, 5-way selector switch and its pair of coil-tapping mini-toggle switches there is a total of 12 pickup options available resulting in an electric guitar that truly covers every base from mild jazz to rip-roaring rock!

Stuff About Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Stuff About Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

Stuff About Solid Body Electric Guitars

Solid body electric guitars are built from a solid piece or pieces of wood, giving them excellent sustain, stability, and resistance to feedback at higher volumes. This construction makes them well suited to amplified playing across a wide range of styles, from clean and articulate tones to heavy, high-gain sounds. Their design allows pickups and hardware to play a major role in shaping tone, while the solid body provides a consistent, reliable feel. Solid body electric guitars are valued for their durability, versatility, and ability to perform confidently on stage and in the studio.
