PRS Swamp Ash Special MN Scarlet Smokeburst

A Reimagined Swamp Ash Special in the PRS Bolt-On Range

With this Swamp Ash Special Maple, PRS offers a fresh take on a much-loved formula: the responsiveness and attack of a Bolt-On guitar combined with USA-level craftsmanship and finish. The choice of swamp ash and a carved violin-style top gives it a unique identity within the range, while the addition of two mini split-switches further expands the sonic playground.

Who Is It For, and What Styles?

This PRS is aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists who want an electric guitar capable of seamlessly covering multiple genres without compromise: precise clean tones, snappy crunch, and articulate distortion. Its balance and pronounced "twang" make it an excellent candidate for hot country, blues, and jazz, while remaining perfectly at ease in pop, funk, or modern rock thanks to its palette of combinations and stable output level.

The Sound

The swamp ash body delivers a quick response, solid lows, and bright but controlled highs, with a crispness ideal for clear attacks and dynamic rhythms. The two 58/15 LT humbuckers frame the spectrum: the bass pickup provides body and sustain, while the treble pickup remains defined and expressive for leads. In the middle, the PRS Narrowfield adds a single-coil type color, with very musical precision and less background noise, perfect for intermediate positions. The electronics (volume, tone, 5-position selector, and splits) allow switching from a full, dense sound to more airy textures, while maintaining volume consistency across settings.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

Delivered with a Premium gig bag, it is ready for rehearsals and gigs. If you want to keep the original feel and balance, a set of 10-46 gauge strings matches the factory-installed gauge.
