The Paul Reed Smith ‘Special Edition’ EG is a finely constructed guitar featuring a Mahogany body with a set wide/fat Mahogany neck. The neck humbucking pickup provide a precise and powerful sound, with a rich depth of tone characteristic of the Mahogany body. The PRS designed tuners offer performance you can rely on, and the PRS tremolo bridge puts more expression at your fingertips. This guitar looks amazing, and sounds just as good, with unbeatable value the PRS SE EG is sure to expand your musical horizons.
The PRS SE EG S/S/H is available in a solid black finish, with a black scratchplate, pickups and control knobs. The neck has a ‘wide fat’ profile giving it a very sturdy feel, and it is also finished in a gloss black lacquer. The 25” scale gives you more room for exploring elaborate fingering techniques, which in conjunction with the superior Rosewood fingerboard make this guitar such a pleasure to play. The strings slip and slide against the frets with no friction at all thanks to immaculate polishing, and this smooth action translates into crystal clear tone and incredible sustain. Set into the finely grained Rosewood are a beautiful set of blue Abalone ‘moons’, each containing a crescent that shimmers in the light, with customary double inlay at fret 12.
At the headstock the chrome tuners are arranged into a three a side formation, getting narrower towards the jagged tip. Between these lie the Special Edition Custom logo, and the truss Rod is labelled with PRS. Around the back each machine head is PRS branded on the sealed gear mechanism, and the large turning posts give you accurate control over string tension. Tuning stability is also enhanced by the accurately cut top nut, with deep grooves to maintain perfect string height above the fretboard.
The PRS designed tremolo bridge houses individually adjustable saddles, and a slim tremolo arm that pushes smoothly into place. Four well-positioned springs in the back cavity of the guitar hold the bridge securely in place and give the tremolo a smooth, refined and flowing action. This works well for both trills and dips right up to full on pitch dives, without disrupting the tuning. Excellent.
The Custom Tremolo is fitted with 2 open coil PRS designed single coil pickups and a humbucker at the neck position.
Playing an electric guitar unplugged is a useful way to tell how its construction affects its sound. A casual strum on the PRS SE EG and you can hear the Mahogany body resonating with the strings, indicating its ability to provide a thick and full bodied tone.
The neck pickup is perfect for sucking up all of the Mahogany body tone for a very well presented clean sound. Barre chords ring out at the lightest touch, and across the fretboard you’ll find all sorts of harmonics to play with. This pickup also works well in conjunction with the tone control, which can be rolled back for that mysterious ambient sonic character. With increasing distortion the humbucker keeps its pace whilst holding noise to a minimum, and on full blast there’s enough oomph for seriously heavy metal! If you like a bit more subtlety in your sound then ease off with the volume and tone dials and you’re in to softer rock territory.
There’s a lot of scope for fine tuning your sound with the volume and tone controls to get a diverse range of sounds to play with. With the pickup selector in mid position you get the colour of the neck pickup with the crunch of the bridge for a great all round sound.
This extremely versatile guitar is built to the impressive standards of PRS whilst offering the best possible value for money. In terms of quality and playability it is a total bargain.
The guitar is supplied with a thickly padded PRS gig bag. This premium guitar case has heavy-duty zips with loops for use with a padlock, a large front pocket and backpack style straps. The front pocket is embroidered with a large PRS SE logo showing off it’s contents.
