Paul Reed Smith – PRS SE Swamp Ash Special
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 āSā pickups flank a PRS-Designed AS-01 Single Coil āSā 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 PRSās 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 āhot country,ā blues, and even jazz territory.
This Swamp ash Special is in excellent condition. It shows virtually no flaws or wear. Frets and fingerboard are in excellent shape.
Everything functions and sounds as it should.
The original PRS gigbag is included.
