Overview

The PRS SE A50E pairs maple Black Gold back and sides with a natural solid spruce top for stunning warmth and depth. When matched with PRS hybrid "X"/Classical bracing, which allows the top to freely vibrate and project, the SE A50E has an uncommon 3-dimensional character for a maple back and side guitar. The Angelus Cutaway body shape delivers comfort and playability, well suited for picking and fingerstyle playing.

Plugged in, the Fishman Sonitone pick up system delivers dynamic, organic tone and allows players to easily take this guitar from rehearsal to the stage. This electronics system features an under-saddle pickup and sound hole mounted preamp with easy-to-access volume and tone controls.

Additional high-quality features include a solid spruce top, ebony fretboard and bridge, bone nut and saddle, as well as PRS trademark bird inlays and headstock design. Ships with a high-quality hard-shell case.

"Great guitar.... now"

Overall:

(see rating details)

I had been wanting one of these for a while and it took a while to save up..This guitar is beautiful and the case is top notch , however, . I wasn't immediately impressed... the sound was OK , but the action was about a quarter of an inch high.. ( neck was pretty straight ) the " case candy " contains a second bridge and some shims , a spare bridge pin etc. ... I decided to try.to get the action down . I noticed the spare bridge was significantly shorter than the one on the guitar ? So I changed them out and the action improved considerably ? No buzz , no " fret out ".... eventually I ended up taking a little more.material off of the bridge and got the action pretty low . I don't know if getting the strings closer to the hole makes that much difference or getting closer to the top ? But the sound opened up and it plays fantastic now... now I'm impressed . Now it's the guitar I expected from PRS... The wood is gorgeous , the neck is comfortable ( although I'd prefer a satin neck ) the electronics sound fantastic and now it plays great , close to an electric feel... not sure how or why it got past QC like it did ? That being said , other than the initial issues it had and I expected to have to adjust a new guitar to my liking, as usual. PRS Angelus is a nice acoustic.. too bad the outsourced QC sucks...
