The PRS SE Swamp Ash Special is built for players who demand a stage-ready workhorse electric guitar that’s built to be versatile! With a variety of jaw-dropping finishes available, there is a Swamp Ash Special to suit every type of player.

Swamp Ash has specifically been selected due to its unrivalled tonal balance across the whole EQ spectrum, with articulate highs and rich, resonant lows and mids. Its 22 frets over a 25” scale length make this guitar equipped for everything and is comfortable to play up and down the whole fingerboard and the 85/15 “S” humbucker pickups with PRS AS-01 single-coil in the middle provide powerful, versatile tones with the perfect balance of punch and clarity.

85/15 S

All the tonal characteristics of a vintage humbucker, but with the added clarity of a more modern, more evenly balanced pickup. Built around Alnico magnets, the 85/15 pickups are the perfect hybrid of old and new. Defined highs and lows unlock the full spectrum of sound for ultimate note clarity and definition.
