PRS PARLOR SE 20 PIEZO DG DOG HAIR

A PRS Parlor Designed for Modern Playing

With the SE P20E, PRS revives the spirit of historic Parlors-those small acoustics known for their singing midrange-and adds a lutherie approach focused on precision and reliability. Within the SE range, it stands as an easy-to-live-with acoustic, featuring a distinctive "Doghair" look, designed to support songwriting, recording, and amplified performances without compromising comfort.

Who Is This PRS SE P20E For and Which Styles Suit It?

The P20E is suitable for both the motivated beginner and the experienced musician seeking an inspiring, compact, and coherent guitar for the studio. Its Parlor format favors seated playing and long sessions, providing an immediate sense of control. It particularly shines in fingerstyle, blues, folk, pop, and songwriting, while maintaining enough presence to carry clean, tight strumming behind vocals.

Sound Characteristics

The choice of an all-mahogany set (solid top, back, and sides in mahogany) emphasizes a rich midrange, natural warmth, and soft highs, while keeping bass frequencies controlled: perfect for a guitar that needs to "speak" in a mix without overpowering. The PRS X/Classical hybrid bracing helps free up the top and increase responsiveness: the guitar quickly reacts to right-hand nuances, with clear articulation and natural sustain, especially flattering for fingerstyle playing.

Once plugged in, the PRS-tuned Fishman Presys VT electronics rely on a piezo pickup under the bridge to faithfully translate dynamics and attack. The volume and tone controls, positioned in the soundhole, allow quick balance adjustments without weighing down the top's aesthetics: practical on stage, effective in rehearsal, and reassuring for quick changes.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To get the best out of this steel-string acoustic, you can stick with a 12-53 gauge set (original strings) in phosphor bronze, add an acoustic guitar capo (steel strings), and a clip-on tuner for quick tuning. An acoustic guitar humidifier is also useful to stabilize the instrument during seasonal changes. The included gig bag simplifies daily transport.
