  • Description: This guitar is all about versatility. Replacing the traditional hum-single-hum configuration with three Narrowfield® pickups paired with a 5-way blade switch, the Swamp Ash Special offers a multitude of switching possibilities. The Narrowfield® pickups focus the string attack much like a singlecoil but are hum canceling. The result is a new sounding pickup system, which blends features of singlecoil, soap bar, and humbucking pickups. The Swamp Ash Special has also been updated with a Pattern Regular neck shape and V12 finish. V12 Finish Finish should enhance the look, sound, and feel of a guitar by accentuating the wood’s inherent beauty and feel without hindering its natural resonance. And PRS Guitars’ new “V12” finish does just that. Introduced at Experience PRS 2010, “V12” is a very thin, hard, and clear finish that will not crack or react with thinners. After roughly 12 years in development, it is halfway between acrylic and nitro but with a classic feel all its own. “PRS models with this new finish feel like old instruments,” said Paul Reed Smith. Pattern Neck Shape Neck shapes have always been a high priority for us and a hallmark of our quality. A guitar should feel comfortable, like “home,” as soon as you pick it up, and the neck is paramount to that connection. The new “Pattern Regular” neck shape is similar to the traditional PRS regular neck found on guitars made in the late 80’s at PRS’s former Virginia Avenue location. This new neck shape reflects modern tooling and programming that allows us to even more precisely shape and consistently reproduce our necks.
