PRS SE Swamp Ash Special Electric Guitar, Charcoal

Description

The PRS SE Swamp Ash Special stands apart from the rest of the SE Series lineup, built around a swamp ash body known for its airy resonance and a 22-fret maple neck topped with a maple fretboard for extra snap and clarity.

• Swamp ash body for open, resonant tone
• 22-fret maple neck with maple fretboard
• Two 85/15 “S” pickups in the bridge and neck
• PRS-designed AS-01 Single Coil “S” pickup in the middle, combining alnico and steel for added mass and punch
• 5-way pickup switch paired with a push/pull tone control for expanded coil-splitting options
• PRS patented tremolo system

That middle AS-01 pickup is the real character piece here u2014 its alnico-and-steel construction gives it more heft than a typical single coil, contributing to an overall tone that’s tight in the low end and bright without turning brittle up top. Add in the push/pull switching and five-way selector, and you’ve got a guitar capable of covering a surprising amount of ground: think snappy hot-country leads, bluesy grit, and even the occasional detour into jazzier, cleaner territory. The tremolo adds one more layer of expressive flexibility for players who like to lean into pitch bends and vibrato.

Finished in Charcoal, the SE Swamp Ash Special is built for guitarists who want one instrument that doesn’t box them into a single genre.
