1997 PRS Swamp Ash Special flame/birdseye neck PRS Swamp Ash Special with one of the most expensive options - the neck is made entirely of flame maple, with a birdseye maple fretboard. It looks gorgeous and shimmers beautifully in the light. Moreover, this is a rare version of the model with a FIXED bridge (not a tremolo like 90% of this model's representatives). The body is made of swamp ash. And here I will not tire of repeating - this is my FAVORITE PRS model. Having tried everything - I will say once again, PRS Swamp Ash is better than everyone else) Firstly, because ash, in my opinion, is the best "tonewood", an ideal ratio of depth and clarity, especially in the mids and lows - no mud, and even the lowest notes sound perfect and are well-defined. The maple neck adds even more warmth and clarity, and in this case, it also looks simply stunning. The push/pull tone switch radically changes the pickup configuration. In the normal position, you basically get a PRS Custom or Les Paul Standard - 2 pure full-fledged humbuckers + 3-way switch (the middle pickup in this position is disconnected and does not participate). When the tone knob is pulled up, both humbuckers turn into single-coils, and the middle pickup turns on - you essentially get a 3-single-coil Strat! This guitar can replace at least two of the most popular electric guitars - a single-coil Strat and a humbucker Les Paul, and in my opinion, it sounds better than both of them) The condition for an 18-year-old guitar is perfect, as much as it can be for a used instrument, no defects at all, only very light traces of careful use. In addition, the instrument is excellently played-in and has already acquired its true, characteristic sound, which guitars only get with years of playing them. Original case, all documentation, strap-lock locks, adjustment tool for the neck - included.
