Maple acoustic guitars are often chosen for clarity and definition, but the PRS SE A50E Angelus acoustic-electric guitar adds warmth, depth and stage-ready versatility to that articulate foundation. Its Angelus Cutaway body pairs a solid Sitka spruce top with flamed maple back and sides, giving players a polished acoustic voice with the uncommon three-dimensional character PRS designed into this model. PRS hybrid "X"/Classical bracing, PRS-voiced Fishman Presys VT electronics, an ebony fingerboard and bridge, bone nut and saddle, PRS-designed tuners and an included hardshell case make the SE A50E Angelus a visually striking acoustic-electric built for expressive performance.
Flamed Maple Clarity With Added Dimension
The SE A50E uses flamed maple back and sides to create a focused acoustic response with excellent note separation and a bright, articulate character. Paired with the solid Sitka spruce top, the tone gains warmth and depth while retaining the clarity players expect from maple-bodied instruments. This makes the guitar especially well suited for detailed strumming, picked passages and arrangements where every note needs to remain clear and defined.
Angelus Cutaway Reach and Responsive Bracing
The Angelus Cutaway body gives the SE A50E comfortable access to upper frets while maintaining enough body depth for a full acoustic voice. PRS hybrid "X"/Classical bracing helps the spruce top vibrate freely, supporting projection, responsiveness and subtle dynamic shifts. The result is a guitar that's equally at home onstage, in the studio or during solo practice.
PRS-Voiced Fishman Electronics for Plugged-In Control
The PRS-voiced Fishman Presys VT pickup system gives the SE A50E Angelus a natural amplified voice for rehearsals, recording and live performance. Its undersaddle pickup captures articulation and definition, while soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls keep adjustments close at hand without disrupting the guitar's clean acoustic appearance. This streamlined system makes it easy to move from unplugged practice to amplified performance while preserving the instrument's natural acoustic character.
Wide Fat Neck and Ebony Playing Surface
The mahogany Wide Fat neck gives the SE A50E a substantial, controlled feel that suits players who want a confident grip for rhythm and fingerstyle work. The ebony fingerboard and bridge provide smooth playability and a solid tonal foundation, while the 25.3" scale length, 20 frets and 11.81" fingerboard radius create a familiar PRS acoustic playing experience. Bird inlays, a bone nut and ebony bridge continue the blend of performance and recognizable PRS craftsmanship.
Abalone Appointments and Hardshell Case Protection
Abalone body purfling, an abalone rosette with cream and black accents, white/black binding and PRS-designed tuners give the SE A50E a premium appearance that complements its flamed maple body. A bone saddle and ebony bridge contribute to dependable acoustic performance, while the included hardshell case provides secure protection for transport and storage. With its solid Sitka spruce top, flamed maple back and sides, Angelus Cutaway body and stage-ready electronics, the PRS SE A50E Angelus acoustic-electric guitar delivers articulate tone, premium craftsmanship and exceptional versatility.
