The PRS SE Paul's Guitar (2026 Spec) is modeled directly on Paul Reed Smith’s personal design vision, incorporating the latest hardware and aesthetic refreshes to bring it closer than ever to US Core-level specs. Key Features & Special Appointments
2026 Lightweight Wing Tuners: Features PRS’s redesigned lightweight Wing Tuners. Inspired by Paul’s original 1982 design, these lower-mass tuner buttons subtract less vibrational energy from the headstock, increasing sustain, resonance, and tuning stability.
Sloped Pickup Rings: Updated with new contoured pickup rings that fit seamlessly against the body carve for a sleeker, more refined look.
TCI "S" Pickups & Versatile Electronics: Equipped with Tuned Capacitance and Inductance (TCI "S") pickups paired with two independent mini-toggle coil-tap switches. This allows true single-coil and humbucking modes on either pickup, offering eight distinct, uncompromised tonal options without volume drop.
Machined Brass Stoptail Bridge: Uses the exact same machined stoptail bridge with brass inserts found on the US Core Paul's Guitar, maximizing string vibration transfer into the solid mahogany body.
Classic Tonewood & Feel: Built with a mahogany back, flame maple veneer top with a shallow violin carve, a 25" scale length, a comfortable Wide Fat mahogany neck, and iconic bird inlays.
