PRS SE 277 Baritone Fire Red Burst 2018

Extra long baritone scale

The decisive design feature of the PRS SE 277 is the extra long scale, which allows the strings to vibrate over a length of 27.7 inches (704 mm). Accordingly, the strings retain their tension even in extremely low tunings, which means that each note is represented with precise articulation. The classic construction with mahogany and maple for body and top as well as a glued maple neck promises a crisp primary tone with high midrange presence. Another visual highlight is the flamed maple veneer of the top, whose magnificent grain is brought to life by the transparent Fire Red Burst finish.

PRS SE 85/15 Humbucker

The PRS SE 277 Baritone 2018 uses two PRS 85/15 "S" humbuckers as pickups, which are wound on the model of the American models of the same name and, with their modern sound, perfectly match the character of this electric guitar. The neck pickup delivers a warm sound with soft bass, warm mids and silky highs that makes every note sing, whether clean or overdrive. The bridge pickup, on the other hand, convinces with its broadband sound image, whose taut basses, focused mids and brilliant highs also make extremely deep riffs and solos audible with rich pressure and high tone definition. The pickups are classically managed via 3-way toggle switches as well as master volume and master tone controls.

Plate Style Bridge

Paul Reed Smith uses a Plate Style Bridge on the PRS SE 277 Baritone 2018 with string guidance through the body, which contributes significantly to the fast and precise sound development of the electric guitar. In addition, the flat bridge provides a comfortable resting surface for the hand when playing the guitar. The strings are held on the head plate by six die-cast mechanisms, which convince with precise running and high tuning stability.
