Brand new 2011 spec Swamp Ash special from the first UK shipment, hand picked of course!
This guitar is super light and sounds great! The neck is stunning, i'm so glad PRS are applying satin finishes on some of their necks now.
'This guitar is all about versatility. Replacing the traditional hum-single-hum configuration with three NarrowfieldTM pickups paired with a 5-way blade switch, the Swamp Ash Special offers a multitude of switching possibilities. The NarrowfieldTM pickups focus the string attack much like a singlecoil but are hum canceling. The result is a new sounding pickup system, which blends features of singlecoil, soap bar, and humbucking pickups.
The Swamp Ash Special has also been updated with a Pattern Regular neck shape and V12 finish.'
Finish should enhance the look, sound, and feel of a guitar by accentuating the wood's inherent beauty and feel without hindering its natural resonance. And PRS Guitars' new "V12" finish does just that. Introduced at Experience PRS 2010, "V12" is a very thin, hard, and clear finish that will not crack or react with thinners. After roughly 12 years in development, it is halfway between acrylic and nitro but with a classic feel all its own. "PRS models with this new finish feel like old instruments," said Paul Reed Smith.
Neck shapes have always been a high priority for us and a hallmark of our quality. A guitar should feel comfortable, like "home," as soon as you pick it up, and the neck is paramount to that connection. The new "Pattern Regular" neck shape is similar to the traditional PRS regular neck found on guitars made in the late 80's at PRS's former Virginia Avenue location.
This new neck shape reflects modern tooling and programming that allows us to even more preciously shape and consistently reproduce our necks.
