Description
Don’t let the small body fool you—the PRS SE Parlor is a full-throated instrument with plenty to say. Built entirely from mahogany, it delivers that woody, midrange-forward warmth mahogany guitars are known for, while PRS’s hybrid “X”/Classical bracing lets the top move freely for a response that’s even, bold, and more resonant than you’d expect from something this size.
Size is really the point here, though not in the way people assume. Parlor guitars have a reputation as casual “couch guitars,” but this one is built for real use. The smaller frame is genuinely easier on your body during long practice or writing sessions, and it tucks into a gig bag or the back seat of a car without a second thought. That said, it’s not scaled down in ambition—this is a legitimate stage and studio tool.
Onboard electronics come courtesy of Fishman’s SonoTone system, pairing an undersaddle pickup with a soundhole-mounted preamp. Volume and tone controls sit right at the edge of the soundhole for quick access mid-song, and the output stays natural and dynamic whether you’re recording direct, running through a PA, or just plugging into a practice amp.
