History of a Legend
Bernie Marsden is primarily known for his work with Whitesnake, and lent a major hand in composing some of the band's most renowned hits. He has been in the music world for over thirty years, and worked closely with PRS to produce the SE Bernie Marsden Electric Guitar, knowing exactly what guitarists want from a guitar.
Superb Attention to Detail
The PRS SE Bernie Marsden is manufactured from Mahogany, with a flame Maple veneer top. The use of Maple veneer creates the effect of tiger stripes, which are extremely recognisable throughout the Black Cherry finish. The guitar is also trimmed in retro creme binding along the edge, which breaks up the solid block colour, and matches the pickups.
The attention to detail featured on the Rosewood fretboard is simply eye-catching, with a selection of abalone shell birds. The bird 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).
Humbuckers
Featuring two SE 245 humbuckers which are designed and wound in-house, to give you that unique sound. A three-way toggle pickup selector, combined with two volume controls and a single tone control enables precise sound customisation with clarity and definition. The simplicity of this guitar allows it to be versatile with all types of players.
