Description
The PRS SE 245 Standard guitar epitomizes Paul Reed Smith’s commitment to accessible excellence, challenging the notion that PRS guitars are exclusive to the wealthy. The SE Standard line ensures affordability without compromising quality.
Constructed entirely from mahogany, the PRS SE 245 Standard produces a warm, fat, and durable sound. The dual 245 “S” pickups offer a bright yet balanced attack for versatile musical styles. Boasting classic PRS features, such as a Wide Fat mahogany neck, rosewood fretboard with bird inlays, PRS-Designed stoptail bridge, and tuners, this guitar is designed for gig-readiness and playability. With a 24.5″ scale length, it caters to those who prefer short-scale guitars.
Jack Higginbotham, COO of PRS Guitars, underscores the goal of inspiring continuous play without concerns about tuning or functionality. Positioned as a gig-ready classic, the PRS SE 245 Standard delivers exceptional value with 245 “S” humbuckers, an all-mahogany body for sustained resonance, and ergonomic features like the Wide Fat neck profile, making it a vintage-inspired singlecut design.
