An Outstanding Guitar, A PRS Through and Through

The quality of this guitar is unbelievable. The moment you touch it, you immediately realise that it sits right into your hand and plays perfectly! The amount of details and the workmanship is stunning. Everything is thought through and exactly made. The pickup outlet is designed with minimum footprint on the body. The neck, the cut, and the joint part are really comfortable to play with.

The pickup might not be the best one, and in this price range, there should not be too much high expectations. However it still is amazing and nevertheless a Fishman pickup. It takes a while to play around with its tone setting to find that sweet spot for you.

The natural tone of the guitar and its frequency response is absolutely great, 10 stars!!!! I believe among the SE Angelus series this is the perfect compromise for a warm, bright, and soothing tone.

Remember, because of the design specifications of PRS SE acoustics (simulating the head and cabinet), the tone that the player hears, is not as great as the tone that the audience hear. Rest assure that your audience will hear an amazing tone coming out of your guitar.
