Electric Guitar With Swamp Ash Body for Dynamic Resonance

The swamp ash body of this guitar offers a balanced tonal foundation, combining tight lows with airy highs for exceptional clarity. Known for its lightweight and resonant properties, swamp ash provides a vibrant, dynamic response that suits both rhythm and lead playing. The flat-top design enhances its classic aesthetic while allowing the natural grain of the wood to shine through.

With taller bobbins and extra metal pieces between the magnets, these noiseless humbuckers produce articulate lows, midrange snarl and a twangy high-end response—perfect for cutting through any mix. The pickups are highly receptive to gain, making them ideal for aggressive playing styles while maintaining clarity. Paired with a 3-way blade switch and push-pull tone control, players can easily dial in their preferred sound. The Narrowfield DD pickups ensure a clean, versatile tone without sacrificing musicality.

PRS Steel Plate Bridge With Classic Brass Saddles

The PRS plate-style bridge is crafted with steel for enhanced resonance and stability, while brass barrel saddles provide a warm, full-bodied tone. This combination ensures optimal string vibration transfer, adding depth and clarity to every note. The bridge's durable construction supports precise intonation adjustments, accommodating a wide range of playing styles. Whether you're bending notes or digging into chords, this bridge design contributes to the instrument's lively sound and reliable performance. The steel plate and brass saddles enhance sustain, ensuring every note stands out with richness and definition.

Featuring a sleek NF 53 maple neck, this guitar is designed for both speed and comfort. The 10" radius fretboard offers smooth navigation across all 22 frets, while the bolt-on construction adds a touch of brightness to the overall tone. The maple fretboard's responsive feel ensures precision during complex passages, and the scarf joint construction enhances durability by reinforcing the neck's stability. With a nut width of 1-41/64", players can enjoy effortless transitions between chords and scales. The contoured neck design provides fatigue-free playability during extended sessions, making it ideal for demanding performances.

    I've never had a T-style guitar that really satisfies, until now. This one brings it: swamp ash body that delivers balanced clear tone, excellent playability right off the wall, and quiet pups that deliver enhanced T-style tone. Well done, PRS!
