The SE Paul's Guitar offers a lot of "PRS", starting with tone and versatility. The TCI "S" treble and bass pickups offer a very pure and vintage sound. The SE Paul's Guitar also has two mini switches between the volume and tone knobs. This setup allows players to put either or both pickups in true single-coil mode, which delivers the clarity and uniqueness of vintage single-coil tones in both single-coil and humbucker positions. This is the first model to offer this style of electronics outside of the Private Stock and Core lines.
"Paul's Guitar, like the Modern Eagle before it, has always been about Paul's latest discoveries in guitar making. To bring this guitar into the SE series, we knew the sound, functionality and playability had to be right and consistent," explains Jack Higginbotham, COO, PRS Guitars. “We think this guitar offers a lot of value to players.”
The SE Paul's Guitar is available in three colors, reminiscent of PRS's early guitars: Amber, Aqua and Fire Red.
