The PRS SE Swamp Ash Special is a beautiful and sonically versatile guitar that can jump into just about any style of music and deliver the right tones. Thanks to the Swamp Ash Special’s coil-split Tone knob, two PRS 85/15 S humbuckers and a PRS-Designed AS-01 single-coil, the Swamp Ash Special serves up six different pickup combinations.

“My first impression of this guitar is ‘wow,’” says Grammy-winning guitarist and producer Justus West (John Legend, Ariana Grande, Snoop Dog). “It feels great in my arms, and it looks amazing. Swamp ash is such a beautiful wood and it really cuts through the guitar’s finish. Also, the guitar sounds are so versatile—you can easily jump from genre to genre. The coil-split option gives you clean tones for R&B, but throw down the humbuckers and kick in the overdrive channel on your amp, and this thing sings like an angel. The PRS SE Swamp Ash Special is a worthy piece of machinery for your arsenal, because it’s an everything guitar.”

In addition to its flexible and adaptable sonics, the PRS SE Swamp Ash Special includes a 22-fret maple neck, a maple fretboard, a PRS-patented tremolo, PRS-designed tuners and those familiar PRS birds fretboard inlays.
