PRS SE 277 Baritone Electric Guitar - Charcoal Burst | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The PRS SE 277 Baritone electric guitar opens new sonic territory for players seeking extended low-end range and crushing down-tuned tones. This specialized instrument features a 27.7-inch baritone scale length optimized for B-to-B tuning, delivering exceptional clarity and string tension for heavy riffing and atmospheric textures. Whether you're a metal guitarist exploring drop tunings, a studio musician adding unique voicings to recordings, or an experimental player pushing tonal boundaries, the SE 277 Baritone combines professional-grade construction with the distinctive low-end power that defines modern baritone guitars.
Product Overview
The SE 277 Baritone showcases a solid mahogany body topped with flame maple veneer and a newly designed violin carve that enhances both playing comfort and visual appeal. The Charcoal Burst gloss finish highlights the flame maple figuring while the carved top contours naturally to the player's body. This premium tonewood combination delivers the warmth and sustain mahogany is known for, while the maple top adds definition and articulation crucial for maintaining clarity in lower registers.
The set maple neck features PRS's Wide Fat profile, providing substantial feel and support ideal for the increased string tension of baritone tuning. The rosewood fingerboard spans 22 frets across a 10-inch radius, offering comfortable playability from rhythm work to lead passages. Classic PRS bird inlays provide visual elegance and position markers across the extended 27.7-inch scale length, which delivers optimal string tension and tonal clarity when tuned to baritone ranges.
Two PRS 85/15 "S" humbucking pickups power the SE 277 Baritone's sonic capabilities, engineered specifically to handle the extended low frequencies while maintaining clarity and definition. The push-pull tone control splits the humbuckers into single-coil voices, expanding tonal options from thick, powerful humbucking tones to brighter, more articulate single-coil sounds. Combined with the 3-way toggle switch and PRS-designed plate-style string-through-body bridge, this guitar delivers exceptional sustain and resonance.
Ideal For
- Metal and progressive rock guitarists exploring drop tunings and extended range
- Studio recording artists seeking unique low-end textures and atmospheric tones
- Djent and modern metal players who demand clarity in heavily distorted, down-tuned settings
- Experimental musicians expanding their tonal palette with baritone voicings
- Touring musicians requiring reliable hardware and consistent intonation in alternate tunings
Key Features
27.7-Inch Baritone Scale Length
The extended scale length provides optimal string tension for B-to-B tuning and lower, ensuring clear note definition and excellent intonation even in drop tunings. This carefully calculated length prevents string floppiness while maintaining playability, allowing precise articulation of complex riffs and chords in lower registers that standard-scale guitars cannot achieve.
85/15 "S" Humbucking Pickups with Coil-Split
PRS 85/15 "S" humbuckers deliver powerful output with exceptional clarity across the extended frequency range of baritone tuning. The push-pull coil-split function transforms these humbuckers into single-coil voices, providing versatility from crushing high-gain tones to crisp, articulate clean sounds. This pickup configuration ensures tight low-end response without muddiness.
Violin Carved Maple Top
The newly updated violin carve design enhances playing comfort by contouring to the player's body while showcasing the flame maple veneer's natural beauty. This refined top carve improves resonance and sustain while the solid maple construction adds brightness and definition that balances the mahogany body's warmth, crucial for maintaining clarity in lower tunings.
Wide Fat Neck Profile
The Wide Fat neck profile provides substantial grip and support ideal for handling the increased string tension of baritone gauges. This robust profile offers stability and comfort during extended playing sessions while the set-neck construction maximizes sustain and resonance transfer from strings to body.
String-Through-Body Bridge Design
The PRS-designed plate-style bridge routes strings through the body for enhanced sustain, resonance, and tuning stability. This string-through construction improves string-to-body coupling, resulting in improved low-end response and harmonic richness essential for baritone performance. PRS-designed tuners maintain precise intonation even with heavier gauge strings.
