X-brace/classical hybrid bracing





PRS's proprietary X-brace/classical hybrid bracing method blends the techniques of some of the most legendary acoustic guitar luthiers in history. This bracing pairs a resonant top with a stiff and reflective back and sides, offering a powerful tone that doesn't mask the intricacies of your playing style. The guitarists here at Sweetwater appreciate that the SE P20E also has a genuine bone nut and saddle for added tonal support and resonance, along with a gorgeous ebony bridge.

Fine tonewoods meet signature PRS appointments





The PRS SE P20E features a parlor-sized body with a solid mahogany top and laminated mahogany back and sides. The neck of this SE P20E follows Paul Reed Smith's wide-fat neck shape and is carved from choice mahogany. A bound ebony fingerboard gives the neck a smooth feel and rich tones. And the signature bird inlays denote the SE P20E as a member of the PRS family. A herringbone rosette and accents complete the picture. The SE P20E manages to strike the perfect balance between modern, eye-catching adornments and a traditional acoustic appearance.





Fishman pickup system provides excellent sound onstage





The Fishman Sonitone under-saddle pickup system continues to win over players across genres for its pristine translation of acoustic tone.That's why PRS outfitted their SE A40 Angelus with a PRS-voiced Fishman Sonitone pickup. Enjoy the dynamic, natural sound of the Sonitone, and shape your acoustic's sound to your liking with its individual rotary controls for master volume and tone. And the controls' low-profile design does away with unsightly electronics dominating the look of your guitar.
