Overview
The PRS SE Swamp Ash Special is a unique offering in the growing PRS SE Series. With a swamp ash body and 22-fret maple neck with maple fretboard, the SE Swamp Ash Special is a fresh face and versatile voice. The 85/15 "S" pickups flank a PRS-Designed AS-01 Single Coil "S" pickup in the middle position. The AS-01 Single Coil features both alnico and steel (hence the name), which adds mass to the pickups helping to create a powerful sound. Paired with a push-pull tone control and 3-way pickup switch, this pickup/electronics package gives players an array of sounds to enjoy, and the addition of PRS's patented tremolo adds a touch more versatility. The overall tone of the PRS SE Swamp Ash Special offers tight low end, bright but mellow high-end, and a welcome twangy tone that can reach "hot country," blues, and even jazz territory.

I recieved the Vintage Sunburst model a few days ago and is my first PRS. Love the flexibility, feel, tonal options and it's a looker. Awesome gig bag. This guitar has a lot of spirit and spunk and the only way to understand it is to play one. Check out the wiring of the coil tapping options and it will better explain what this guitar is capable of. You will never be bored with this guitar in the room.
