Product Overview
The SE Paul's Guitar showcases a solid mahogany body topped with carved figured maple, finished in striking Teal Black that highlights the maple's natural figuring. This classic tonewood combination delivers rich, warm midrange characteristics with enhanced sustain, while the carved top provides both visual elegance and playing comfort through refined body contours.

The set mahogany neck features PRS's Wide Fat profile, offering substantial grip and comfortable playability across the 25-inch scale length. The rosewood fingerboard hosts 22 frets with iconic PRS bird inlays, providing smooth playing feel and warm, open tonal character. The combination of mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard contributes warmth and sustain that complements the body's tonal foundation.

This groundbreaking system allows independent true single-coil splitting of either or both pickups, delivering seven distinct tonal voices ranging from vintage single-coil clarity to thick humbucker power. The PRS stoptail bridge with brass inserts maximizes string-to-body contact for enhanced sustain and resonance.
