PRS Swamp Ash Special Electric Guitar - Vintage Natural | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The PRS Swamp Ash Special electric guitar returns to the Core line with stunning vintage natural finish and exceptional tonal versatility. This premium solidbody guitar features resonant swamp ash construction and a trio of PRS pickups that deliver everything from crystalline cleans to powerful rock tones. Perfect for intermediate to professional players seeking uncompromising quality and sonic flexibility.
Product Overview
The Swamp Ash Special showcases a beautiful slab of swamp ash for both body and top, creating a striking visual and sonic departure from PRS's traditional maple-topped mahogany models. The vintage natural finish highlights the wood's natural grain patterns while providing the bright, articulate tone that swamp ash is renowned for. This solidbody construction delivers excellent sustain and clarity across the entire frequency spectrum.
The guitar features a maple Pattern Regular neck profile that comfortably fills your grip while maintaining exceptional speed and finesse for complex passages. The 10-inch radius maple fretboard with iconic bird inlays provides smooth bending and comfortable chord work. PRS's meticulous fretwork ensures flawless intonation and effortless playability up and down the 22-fret neck.
At the heart of the Swamp Ash Special lies an innovative three-pickup system featuring two vintage-voiced 58/15 LT humbuckers paired with a middle-position Narrowfield humbucker. The 5-way blade switch combined with dual coil-tap mini switches unlocks an impressive range of single-coil shimmer and hum-free operation, making this guitar exceptionally versatile across genres.
