Sound and versatility: HSS pickups with a 5-way switch

HSS means one humbucker at the bridge and two single-coil-sized pickups in the middle and neck positions. This layout is popular with players who want a thicker bridge sound for rhythm and lead work, plus clearer tones from the other positions.

On the SE Studio, the bridge pickup is the 58/15 “S” humbucker and the other two are Narrowfield DD “S” pickups. The 5-way blade switch and the push/pull tone control give you a wide range of sounds from a single guitar.

Build and playability

The SE Studio has a carved maple top with a Flame Maple Veneer on a mahogany body with a shallow violin carve. The neck is a 22 fret maple neck with a Wide Thin profile and a rosewood fretboard with bird inlays.

The 25″ scale length sits between the longer scale of many Fender-style guitars and the shorter scale of many Gibson-style guitars. The fretboard has a 10″ radius. A PRS Designed Tremolo and PRS Designed Tuners with wing buttons complete the hardware, all in nickel.
