A PRS SE with a distinctive "Swamp Ash" character

Designed as a unique alternative in the SE range, the Swamp Ash Special brings swamp ash back into the spotlight, a wood prized for its responsiveness and dynamics. Its carved "Shallow Violin" top and meticulous craftsmanship embody the PRS DNA, while the maple fretboard and bolt-on neck provide attack, precision, and a decidedly modern vintage aesthetic.

For which guitarist and styles?

Versatile and immediately playable thanks to the Wide Thin profile, this electric guitar suits beginner to advanced players seeking an instrument capable of covering modern country, roots blues, classic rock, pop, and even clean jazz. The humbucker splitting extends the palette to finer, clearer tones without losing sustain.

The sound

The swamp ash delivers a quick response, firm lows, and a bright but never harsh high end, enriched by the maple fretboard for added definition. The 85/15 "S" humbuckers provide a present midrange and generous sustain, while the single AS-01 (alnico and steel) adds magnetic mass for a more robust single-coil tone. With the push-pull tone control for splitting and the 3-position selector, you can move from thick crunch to crisp, snappy cleans, with that ideal "twang" perfect for hot country as well as smooth blues and jazz.

Recommended compatible accessories

To preserve the original feel, opt for a 9-42 nickel electric string set, a standard strap (classic strap locks), a clip-on tuner, and a solidbody electric guitar stand. The guitar comes with a Gig Bag, so you're ready to hit the road right out of the box.
