The PRS SE Paul's Guitar (Fire Red) is unique in the SE series in respect to Paul Reed Smith applying a number of personal preferences to the instrument. The diverse tones available are facilitated by 2x TCI “S” Treble and Bass pick-ups, which produce distinctive vintage sounds, and the selection of tone woods used in the guitars’ construction, namely a Mahogany neck and carved Maple top. Furthermore, the pick-ups can be engaged in either humbucking or true single-coil modes, lending the SE Paul’s Guitar even more sonic options. Finally the Nickel hardware and wrap-around bridge with brass inserts solidifies the classic looks associated with PRS instruments.
“The SE Paul’s Guitar is a great example of design, engineering, and teamwork. It’s as close to home as we could get inside of the SE Series, and I am very proud of it.” - Paul Reed Smith.

Developing the SE Paul's Guitar: A Conversation with Jack & Paul
After 45 years+ playing Fender, i thought i would give the PRS SE a try. I liked the look of the SE Paul's guitar, and after buying one and using it for around a month, i cannot believe how good the build quality is on what is supposed to be a " budget PRS " ! The neck is flatter than what i am used to and is extremely comfortable to play. I have owned Gibsons over the years but never really liked the thick sound they produce, this PRS on the other hand has the out of phase tone switches for both pickups and can have a truly great clean sound without trimming using the volume pot. Cannot recommend this guitar enough, Blue Peter Badge and a Crackerjack pencil to DV247 for making it so easy to purchase online, as i am a long way from the nearest store.
