The PRS SE Custom
will be updated for 2012 with a new body carve and pickup control
configuration. Previously the SE Custom had a flat style body, but for
2012, the popular SE model will receive a beveled top carve, more
reminiscent of PRS Guitars’ original Custom 24 model. The SE’s pickup
control layout for 2012 will be one volume and one push/pull tone
control paired with a 3-way blade switch. The addition of a coil tap on
the tone control will give increased versatility, allowing guitarists to
split the SE HFS and SE Vintage Bass pickups into singlecoils for the
first time. The move from 3-way toggle to blade switch will provide more
control and consistency with PRS’s Maryland made line.
“Our SE Custom is
following the updates to our Maryland built Custom on an aggressive
timeline. These updates provide an excellent instrument at an excellent
price,” said Paul Reed Smith.
The updated SE body shape will also come standard on 2012 SE Paul Allender, SE Nick Catanese, and SE Orianthi models, with the SE Orianthi making the added change from a 3-way toggle to a 3-way blade switch. New for 2012, the SE Dave Navarro will receive the updated beveled top as well.
