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.
