PRS SE Paul's Guitar (Charcoal). The SE Paul’s Guitar combines a fixed PRS Stoptail bridge with brass inserts and two TCI “S” pickups with independent coil switching. It has 22 frets, a 25-inch scale and the Wide Fat neck profile. This is an appealing arrangement if you prefer the direct operation of a fixed bridge but still want several pickup textures. The two small switches between the main knobs are central to that flexibility.

Body, neck and playing feel

Top Wood: Maple; Veneer: Flame Maple; Back Wood: Mahogany.

Neck profile: Wide Fat. Scale length: 25"; frets: 22. Fingerboard: Rosewood. Radius: 10". Neck joint: Set.

Playing comfort depends on the combination of neck profile, scale length and string action. Fingerboard radius describes curvature, not neck thickness. Check thumb comfort for chords, and upper-fret access and bending feel for lead playing.

Pickups and controls

The three-way toggle selects either pickup or both, and the two mini-toggle switches independently change each TCI “S” pickup’s mode. In the middle position you can combine different bridge and neck modes, giving eight combinations overall. Master volume sets the output level and tone adjusts the treble response. For practical live use, start by choosing three core sounds, then add the mini-toggle variations that make a useful difference in your set.

Bridge and hardware

PRS Stoptail w/ Brass Inserts. Tuners: Vintage-Style.

The fixed bridge suits players who create vibrato with their fingers and prefer a stationary bridge for rhythm work and palm muting. Check intonation, action and neck relief after changing gauge or tuning. A fixed design still benefits from a setup matched to your technique.

Playing and recording applications

For blues, pop, classic rock and recording contrasting guitar layers.

Accessories and connection

Choose an electric guitar combo amplifier for practice or rehearsal. Add guitar effects when you need overdrive, delay or modulation; first compare the guitar’s main sounds without effects so you can hear how the controls change its dynamics.

Keep suitable electric guitar strings and instrument and patch cables available for maintenance and connection. Add a guitar strap for standing practice, a guitar tuner for tuning checks between songs, and suitable guitar stands and holders for your playing space. Match replacement string gauge to this model’s scale and tuning.
