PRS Swamp Ash Special Electric Guitar - Nitro Finish McCarty Tobacco Sunburst | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
Introduction
The PRS Swamp Ash Special electric guitar makes its triumphant return to the Core line for PRS's 40th anniversary celebration. This distinctive instrument features a resonant swamp ash body that delivers exceptional tonal clarity and dynamic response, setting it apart from PRS's standard maple-topped mahogany models. Perfect for intermediate to professional players seeking versatility and premium craftsmanship in a bolt-on design.
Product Overview
The body construction showcases a beautiful slab of swamp ash, known for its pronounced grain patterns and ideal tonal properties that provide crisp highs, defined mids, and tight low-end response. Finished in a stunning Scarlet Smokeburst with high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, this guitar visually stands out while allowing the wood to breathe and resonate naturally.
The bolt-on maple neck features PRS's comfortable Pattern Regular profile that fills the hand while maintaining excellent playability across the entire rosewood fingerboard. With a 10-inch radius and 22 perfectly dressed frets adorned with signature bird inlays, this guitar offers the legendary PRS playability that professionals have come to expect.
Electronics include a versatile triple-pickup configuration with two 58/15 LT humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions, plus a Narrowfield humbucker in the middle position. Combined with a 5-way blade switch and dual mini coil tap switches, this setup delivers an extraordinary range of tones from sparkling cleans to aggressive overdriven sounds, all with superior noise rejection.

- Professional guitarists demanding studio-quality sound with exceptional note definition
- Touring musicians who need reliable, road-worthy instruments with premium craftsmanship

Key Features
Swamp Ash Body Construction
The solid swamp ash body provides extraordinary resonance and a distinctive tonal character compared to traditional PRS mahogany construction. This premium tonewood delivers enhanced clarity, articulation, and a balanced frequency response ideal for both clean and high-gain applications, creating a striking visual and sonic contrast to PRS's standard maple-topped models.
Versatile Triple-Pickup Configuration
The combination of two 58/15 LT humbuckers and a middle-position Narrowfield pickup delivers unprecedented sonic versatility. The 58/15 LT pickups produce a rich, organic vintage tone with warm clarity, wound with fewer turns than the standard 58/15 for enhanced nuance. When cranked through a tube amp, these pickups deliver fat, snarling overdrive while maintaining crystalline note separation within chords. The middle Narrowfield pickup combines the best characteristics of a humbucker, P-90, traditional single-coil, and mini humbucker, offering hum-free single-coil shimmer with remarkable clarity even in high-gain situations.
Enhanced Switching Options
A 5-way blade selector works in conjunction with dual mini coil tap switches—a first for the Swamp Ash Special model. This expanded control system unlocks a remarkable array of tonal possibilities that cross genre boundaries with ease.
Premium Nitrocellulose Finish
The high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer in McCarty Tobacco Sunburst not only enhances the visual appeal but also allows the wood to age and breathe naturally. This gleaming finish will break in and develop a unique patina and character the more you play it, just like a golden-era vintage instrument.
Professional-Grade Hardware
The PRS patented tremolo system offers exceptional tuning stability and expressive vibrato capabilities, while Phase III locking tuners with 18:1 gear ratio ensure precise tuning accuracy and quick string changes.
