PRS SE Paul's Guitar Teal Black

The founder's personal choice and vintage perfection

The famous founder of PRS Guitars, Paul Reed Smith, has embodied his best engineering discoveries in the signature PRS SE Paul’s Guitar instrument in an exquisite Teal Black finish. This model has become the closest embodiment of the flagship technologies of the original series within the SE line, offering musicians unparalleled vintage tone, resonance, and the widest functionality.

Special body, neck profile, and signature resonance The instrument's construction is built on a classic mahogany body with a solid maple top and an elegant flame maple veneer. The top profile is made with smoothed curves using Shallow Violin technology, and the deep emerald-black Teal Black finish effectively reveals the wood grain.

The set mahogany neck with a Wide Fat profile provides a deep response, a vintage feel in the hand, and magnificent output for every note. The rosewood fretboard with a 10-inch (10") radius contains 22 jumbo frets (PRS SE Jumbo Fret Wire) and is decorated with the iconic pearloid Birds Inlays.

“The SE Paul’s Guitar is a great example of design, engineering, and teamwork. It is the closest instrument to the original that we have ever created in the SE line, and I am very proud of it,” notes Paul Reed Smith.

TCI “S” pickups and 8 independent combinations The sound potential of the model is revealed by a pair of vintage PRS TCI “S” (Tuned Capacitance and Inductance) pickups. The main feature of the electronics is two independent mini-toggle coil-tap switches located between the volume and tone knobs. They allow each humbucker to be switched to single-coil mode separately, maintaining a perfect volume balance and providing the guitarist with eight different sound combinations.

“The build quality, resonance, and sound of these pickups take the instrument to a new level. The single coils sound incredibly open and transparent, and the humbuckers provide rich musical overdrive and punchy clarity,” emphasize experts from authoritative publications Premier Guitar and Music Radar.

Signature PRS Stoptail bridge with brass inserts The guitar is equipped with a cast fixed PRS Stoptail with Brass Inserts bridge — exactly the same as on the premium Core-series models. Profiled string grooves and brass inserts together with brass studs ensure maximum vibration transfer to the body. Lightweight PRS Designed Tuners with Wing Buttons guarantee tuning stability and precise adjustment.
