Whether on stage or in the studio, the PRS Swamp Ash Special is built to inspire, offering a dynamic range of tones that suit virtually any playing style.

Features

• The return of an all-time classic PRS creation to the company’s beloved Core series lineup
• Swamp ash body offers a striking visual and sonic contrast to PRS’s standard maple-topped mahogany models
• Ultra-stable Pattern Regular neck comfortably fills up your grip while retaining plenty of speed and finesse
• 10-in.-radius fingerboard wearing iconic bird inlays
• Dual 58/15 LT pickups capture the warmth and dynamics of an all-time humbucker classic, then elevate that formula with years of PRS pickup research
• Middle-position Narrowfield humbucker is voiced to capture the clarity and bite of a single-coil pickup, only without the hum
• 5-way blade switch and dual coil tap switches unlock a seriously flexible range of single-coil-style sounds and quacky in-between tones
• Top-shelf PRS hardware abounds, including an expressive PRS patented tremolo and PRS Phase III tuning machines with handsome wing buttons
• Gleaming nitrocellulose lacquer finish will break in and develop the more you play it, just like a golden-era vintage instrument
