Derived from the Paul?s Guitar of the Core line, this SE model carries the essence of Paul Reed Smith?s vision: meticulously calibrated TCI ?S? pickups, iconic Stoptail bridge, and impeccable craftsmanship. It condenses PRS heritage into a reliable instrument, ready for both stage and studio, without compromising sonic personality.
Perfect for motivated beginner guitarists up to seasoned musicians, it covers rock, blues, pop, funk, and fusion. The splits offer the brightness and articulation needed for clean rhythm parts, while the humbucker mode provides the grain, natural compression, and foundation required for sustained solos.
The TCI ?S? pickups deliver a modern balance: firm lows, singing mids, and precise highs. Each pickup can be ?split? via a mini-switch, allowing a combination of airy, responsive single-coil or dense, quiet humbucker tones. The mahogany/flamed maple pairing brings warmth and attack, and the very rigid Stoptail promotes vibration transfer for long sustain and exemplary tuning stability. The straightforward electronics (volume, tone, 3-position selector) ensure quick tone changes in live settings.
Use nickel strings sized 10?46 to maintain the original feel and tension of the 25" / 635 mm scale length. Add a comfortable strap with standard straplocks, a universal clip capo for electric guitar, a precise clip-on tuner, and a high-quality 6.35 mm straight/angled instrument cable.
