DISC PRS SE Angelus AE265ENA Electro Acoustic Ltd, Natural

Full Description

Classic Spruce Top and a Super Exclusive Pau Ferro Body

This Limited Edition PRS features a body crafted from pau ferro and topped with classic spruce. While pau ferro is mostly used on fingerboards as a replacement for rosewood, using it for the body not only yields a beautifully warm, rich character, it also creates a visually stunning aesthetic. Combine that with the spruce top and you not only get something that looks amazing, it also sounds amazing. Deep tones, stunning dynamics, and plenty of projection to suit anything you throw at it.

An Angelic Design for an Enhanced Tone

The SE's Angelus ''Angel'' body shape is designed with comfort in mind. It's smooth contours and shape offers a familiar feel that's perfect for fingerpicking and plectrum playing styles. Beneath its surface lies PRS' unique hybrid bracing. This uses a traditional ''X'' bracing at the soundhole and a fan bracing across the belly to enhance the overall projection. This is achieved since the top is allowed to vibrate more freely than with traditional bracing, resulting in more volume and a rounder tone.

A Comfortable Design for All playing Styles

This SE Series Electro Acoustic also features a mahogany neck with a wide fat profile. This design offers an incredibly comfortable playing feel, with its wide, rounded shape letting you reach easily across the entire ebony fingerboard. Couple that with the Angelus's cutaway design and you get uninterrupted access to all the frets, letting you go straight from striking blues chords to killer solos on the higher frets.

Fishman G1 Electronics

To deliver the perfect performance for the stage and studio, the PRS SE Angelus is equipped with Fishman electronics. The G1 system uses an undersaddle pickup to capture the beautifully natural tones of the koa and spruce woods, faithfully reproducing the sound and adding an extra helping of projection to satisfy even the largest of venues. A discreet soundhole control panel lets you adjust the volume and tonal characteristics of your sound without distracting from the AE265ENA's beautiful aesthetic.

PRS' Iconic and Beautiful Bird Inlays

Like many guitars from PRS, the attention to detail featured on the ebony fingerboard is simply eye-catching. The selection of birds which make up PRS’ iconic inlays include representations of the following species; peregrine falcon (3rd fret), marsh hawk (5th fret), ruby throated hummingbird (7th fret), common tern (9th fret), Coopers hawk (12th fret), kite (15th fret), sparrow (17th fret), storm petrel (19th fret), and a landing hawk (21st fret).

PRS Guitars

Launched in 1985 by Paul Reed Smith, PRS guitars offer an alternative approach to achieving excellence. Their unique approach to the design and build of their guitars has found them a distinct sound that has become a hallmark for hard rock. The slightly wider necks are ideal for technical guitarists who require space while scaling the fretboard.

As well as exceptional tone, PRS’ guitars have become famed for their stunningly intricate finishes. The bird inlays, distinctive colours and signature headstocks have inspired guitarists globally since their first production. The selection of ranges offers something to every style and budget. For guitarists looking for reliable and long lasting tone, PRS is an ideal choice.
