Important Warehouse Shipping Information

Our website has the ability to display products that are in stock at our various supplier warehouses around the country, which allows us to provide a much broader product range for our customers. This is one of those products.

Some of our suppliers are able to ship products directly to you, while others need to ship to us before they are shipped to you. It is important to note that for products that are shipping from one of our supplier warehouses, either directly to you or via our Hobart store, we are unable to control how quickly the order will be dispatched, or the shipping method or service that will be used.

If you would like to know more information about shipping times and methods that apply to this product, please feel free to contact us.

Fresh Face and Versatile Voice
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 5-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.

FEATURES

PRS Patented Tremolo
Patented design, delivering tonal fidelity, player comfort, and tuning stability.

PRS Designed Tuners with Wing Buttons
Designed to PRS’s specifications, these lightweight tuners provide precise tuning and won’t dampen your tone.

85/15 "S" & AS-01 Pickups
Three pickup layout with unique switching for an array of sounds that can cover “hot country” to blues and jazz.
