The PRS SE Studio electric guitar delivers a classic PRS blend of punchy tone and modern comfort, built for players who want fast action and flexible sound on stage or in the studio. The maple top features a shallow violin carve over a mahogany body, creating clear highs and thick lows for expressive leads and tight rhythm work. Its pickup configuration—a pair of Narrowfield DD "S" single-coils plus a 58/15 LT "S" treble humbucker—offers players clean articulation and warmth, with tonal options that adapt to both lead and rhythm settings. The 22-fret, 25" scale maple neck fits the hand well and supports quick position changes, making this guitar a reliable choice for players who need precision in every session. In rehearsal, recording, or live performance, the SE Studio’s solid build and expressive electronics support focused, detailed playing.
Triple Pickup Design Expands Tonal Options
The SE Studio pairs two Narrowfield DD "S" single-coil pickups in the bass and middle positions with a 58/15 LT "S" humbucker at the bridge. This setup produces crisp, detailed single-coil sounds and thick, rounded humbucker tones. The five-way blade switch organizes the pickup combinations for easy access, and the push/pull tone knob lets you shape the character of the humbucker. Players can move from sharp, bright sounds to deep, saturated textures without losing clarity. This pickup arrangement makes it easy to dial in nuanced tones for both lead lines and rhythm fills.
PRS Tremolo Bridge and Tuners Maintain Tuning Stability
The SE Studio uses PRS-designed locking tuners and the company’s patented tremolo bridge, which work together to keep tuning secure even with heavy vibrato or pitch bends. The nickel hardware resists corrosion and stays reliable through regular use. The bridge’s design supports both subtle tremolo effects and more dramatic dive bombs, making it easy to add expressive touches to any song. Controls for volume and tone sit within easy reach, and the push/pull tone feature lets players shift the humbucker’s response during a set. These details create a setup that responds quickly and stays stable for long sessions.
Wide Thin Maple Neck Supports Fast Playing
The neck uses multi-ply maple in a Wide Thin carve, which feels slim and stable when moving up and down the fretboard. The rosewood fingerboard features PRS bird inlays and a 10" radius, supporting smooth bends and clean chord shapes. The neck width at the nut measures 1-11/16", giving enough space for accurate fingering but staying comfortable for extended sessions. The double-acting truss rod lets players adjust neck relief quickly, which is useful for adapting to different string gauges or setups. Fast, fluid movement across the neck gives players control in high-speed runs and tight, focused riffs.
Solid Construction Improves Durability and Longevity
Mahogany back and maple top construction provide strength and resonance, while the shallow violin carve adds visual depth and tactile comfort. The set-neck design increases sustain and keeps the neck stable under heavy playing. The rosewood fretboard resists wear and stays smooth even after years of use. Nickel hardware and a PRS nut add to the guitar’s longevity, reducing the need for frequent maintenance. The included gig bag protects the instrument during travel and storage, so it stays in top condition for rehearsals and gigs.
