PRS PARLOR SE 20 PIEZO FG FIRE RED BURST

The P20E: The PRS Spirit in an Electro-Acoustic "Tonare" Parlor

With the SE P20E, PRS brings its lutherie standards into a "Tonare" Parlor format designed for everyday use: easy transport, quick response, and refined finishes. The mahogany-centered construction highlights a warm grain, while the PRS X/Classical hybrid bracing aims for a balance between dynamics, note sustain, and stability. The result: a small body with a strong character, typically PRS in both details and feel.

Who Is It For and What Styles?

This electro-acoustic Parlor guitar is aimed at demanding beginners as well as intermediate and advanced players who want an inspiring, easy-to-live-with instrument that is immediately usable plugged in. It excels in fingerstyle, folk, blues, pop, and vocal accompaniment, while remaining comfortable with a pick. Its compact size is also very suitable for traveling musicians (rehearsals, home studio, gigs).

Sound

The combination of a solid mahogany top and mahogany back/sides delivers dense and singing mids, soft highs, and a precise bass foundation, ideal for clear chords and finger nuances. The PRS X/Classical hybrid bracing promotes a lively response and good projection despite the Parlor format, with surprisingly present sustain. The short scale slightly reduces string tension, facilitating bends, vibrato, and chord transitions. The ebony fingerboard and bridge enhance attack and definition, while the bone nuts optimize vibration transfer. Plugged in, the PRS-voiced Fishman Presys VT electronics (piezo pickup under the bridge) reproduce a natural and balanced acoustic tone, with simple and effective control via volume and tone in the soundhole.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To get the most out of this steel-string Parlor, a set of phosphor bronze acoustic strings in 12-53 gauge, a capo for 6-string acoustic guitar, a clip-on tuner, and a soundhole humidifier are relevant choices. For playing standing up, a strap with a headstock attachment (lace) ensures proper fixation for acoustics.
