Plays great. Awesome neck. Love it. Read more

Out of the box this PRS Swamp ash guitar was a disappointment. It was not set up even close to where a delivered guitar should be for optimum playability. The action was very high and the truss rod required adjusting since there was a “bow” in the neck. After completely setting up the guitar myself (which required truss rod adjustment, replacing the tuning machines with locking tuners, lowering the action, setting intonation, replacing the strings), I was able to make the guitar much easier to play. I plugged the guitar into an amp and I have to say the tone was better than I expected. The coil tap “pull switch” is a great feature and gives you a nice variety of tones. I was also surprised how well the guitar stayed in tune after using the tremelo bar, however, the locking machines I installed helped somewhat. Overall, it is a nice guitar for the price, but, if you purchase one, you’ll need to have had experience setting up guitars or you will never be happy with it. Read more

this is my first purchase of an electric PRS (expensive or cheap) and I am extremely happy with it!! It feels great on the hands, and right out of the bag made some really impressive tones. I did pull the humbuckers up slightly on the high strings, but that was the only adjustment needed. This guitar has really had me playing much more electric, which is what I was hoping for! if I did have to nitpick, I would say that it could’ve used a little bit more care on the fret bars. There are a few rough edges, which I filed off. Read more

I love the tones of the swamp ash PRS! That being said the quality control on SE's is not perfect for a brand new guitar. Upon inspection I noticed some fine scratches in the clear coat and the action was quite high compared to my CE model. Read more
