Paul Reed Smith Swamp Ash Special Black Doghair Smokeburst
Paul Reed Smith Swamp Ash Special Black Doghair Smokeburst
Serial Number: 0412832
Weight: 7.94 lbs.
The PRS Swamp Ash Special in Black Doghair Smokeburst brings a distinctive hum/single/hum pickup layout to PRS's bolt-on lineup, pairing two 58/15 LT humbuckers with a PRS Narrowfield pickup in the middle position for single-coil bite without the hum. The swamp ash body is finished in high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer in Black Doghair Smokeburst, weighing in at 7.94 lbs.
The bolt-on maple neck carries PRS's Pattern Regular profile (27/32" at the half fret, 59/64" at the 12 1/2 fret) in a satin finish, topped with a maple fretboard for extra brightness and attack, PRS's signature bird inlays, and a 10" radius across 22 frets and PRS's shorter 25" scale length. A 1 21/32" PRS nut leads to Phase III locking tuners with wing buttons in nickel, and PRS's patented tremolo delivers smooth, stable pitch bends with excellent tuning stability.
Electronics are the standout here: the 58/15 LT humbuckers and center Narrowfield are wired to a single volume and tone control, a 5-way blade selector, and — for the first time on this model — dual mini-toggle coil-tap switches, unlocking twelve total tonal combinations while keeping volume consistent between humbucking and single-coil settings. Roll the tone control back for extra growl or open it up for shimmer, covering tight low-end, bright-but-mellow highs, and a twangy character that reaches into hot country, blues, and jazz territory. Whether you're a player who wants real tonal range from one guitar across multiple genres, a tone-chaser drawn to the Narrowfield-in-the-middle configuration's single-coil clarity, or someone who needs a bright, articulate maple/maple neck-and-fretboard combination, this Swamp Ash Special is built for versatility. This Paul Reed Smith Swamp Ash Special Black Doghair Smokeburst (Serial #0412832) includes a PRS premium gigbag. Order today from Brian's Guitars, your authorized PRS dealer.
