Versatile pickup configuration
One of the standout features of the PRS SE Studio is its unique and highly flexible pickup arrangement. It combines two PRS Narrowfield DD “S” single-coil pickups in the neck and middle positions with a powerful PRS 58/15 “S” humbucker at the bridge. This HSS-style configuration provides a wide tonal palette that covers everything from articulate, bell-like cleans to thick, saturated lead tones. The Narrowfield pickups offer the clarity and sparkle of single-coils with reduced hum, while the bridge humbucker adds warmth and punch for rhythm and solo work. Paired with a 5-way blade switch and push/pull tone control, the SE Studio becomes a true tonal chameleon, capable of adapting to blues, rock, funk, jazz, and everything in between. This versatility makes it a great part of your setup, letting you explore a range of sonic territories with ease.
Premium playability and neck design
The SE Studio’s playability is second to none, thanks to its 22-fret, 25” scale-length maple neck with a PRS Wide Thin carve. This neck profile is designed to be fast, comfortable, and accessible across all 22 frets, encouraging expressive playing and smooth transitions between chords and lead lines. From technical passages to broad rhythm work, the neck remains comfortable in the hand without sacrificing control or precision. The rosewood fretboard not only adds visual warmth but also enhances the tonal response with a smooth, balanced feel under the fingers. With a 10” fretboard radius and PRS’s renowned fret finishing, the SE Studio delivers a professional-level playing experience at a more accessible price. It’s a guitar that invites extended sessions, perfect for live gigs, recording, or practice.
Elegant tonewoods and iconic finish
A key part of the SE Studio’s appeal lies in its carefully selected tonewoods and visually arresting finish. The body pairs a mahogany back with a maple top and figured maple veneer, a classic combination known for delivering rich mids, clear highs, and exceptional sustain. This construction balances warmth and brightness, offering a tonal profile that can deal with crisp cleans just as well as it can harsh overdrives. The shallow violin top carve enhances the aesthetic appeal while maintaining comfortable contours for playing. Finished in a subtle Charcoal Cherry, the SE Studio looks as impressive as it sounds. The contrast of the warm burst against the detailed maple grain gives this guitar a boutique feel, elevating its stage presence and aesthetic.
Reliable hardware and expressive performance
PRS’s dedication to quality extends into the SE Studio’s hardware, which includes a PRS-designed patented tremolo bridge and PRS-designed tuners. This bridge offers expressive pitch control with smooth operation and excellent tuning stability—ideal for subtle vibrato, surf-inspired dives, or creative textural playing. Combined with a PRS nut and “Studio” truss rod cover, the hardware is engineered to withstand the rigours of live performance and studio demands alike. The tuners offer consistent tuning reliability, while the bridge remains responsive and solid during heavy use. With components designed to keep your playing stable and in tune.
