Exotic wood veneers offered in six colors across four models
SE Swamp Ash Special goes from three-way to five-way switch
(STEVENSVILLE, Md.) March 18, 2025 – PRS Guitars today announced four SE Exotic Veneer Limited Editions: SE Custom 24-08 Poplar Burl, SE Custom 24 Burled Ash, SE DGT Laurel Burl, and SE McCarty 594 Laurel Burl. Only 5,000 guitars will be available globally across all four models. In addition, the PRS SE Swamp Ash Special now features a five-way blade control switch instead of the previous three-way toggle version.
“We are fortunate to have an elite group at PT CORT focusing solely on the PRS proprietary factory. This is a team that enjoys pushing boundaries and exploring new ideas and our guitars reflect that passion and enthusiasm. Our visits almost always yield new ideas,” said PRS Chief Operating Officer, Jack Higginbotham. “When I saw their library of veneers on a recent trip, I knew we could build some really special guitars with them. These guitars are going to turn some heads. The natural designs in the wood create ‘aesthetic arrest’ from the first look.”
