PRS SE Angeles AE40ENA Cutaway Acoustic Guitar w/ electronics and case - Natural
PRS SE Angelus AE40ENA Cutaway Electro Acoustic Guitar
The PRS A40E is an astonishing acoustic built on all of what PRS have learned since they started making acoustic guitars back in 2011. Using Ovangkol back and sides with a Sitka Spruce top this is great all round guitar which is a great all rounder if you don’t have a particular style or sound.
Tone Woods
With the Ovangkol back and sides along with the Sitka Spruce top you get a Rosewood like sound without any of the issues of shipping Rosewood due to current restrictions on the wood.
This results in a really versatile sound with a strong midrange and some bright overtones that you may not get with a wood like Mahogany.
To get the most out of these woods PRS have used their own X/Classical bracing pattern on the top. This tweak to the bracing pattern results in more flexibility for the top to resonate which at the end of the day means more volume and a more defined, full tone that gets the best out of the locked down Ovangkol back and sides.
All PRS SE acoustics have Mahogany necks with Ebony fretboards for great stability and resonance.
Angelus Body
The Angelus is PRS’s more modern style cutaway acoustic guitar body that has been part of the SE line for a few years now. Refined over years of making these guitars this is the best the Angelus has ever looked or sounded for this price.
Fishman Pickup
Every guitar in the PRS SE Acoustic range comes fitted with a Fishman GT1 pickup. This sits under the saddle of the guitar and feeds off to controls that sit just under the soundhole for quick and seamless changes while playing.
Bone Nut and Saddle
If you follow Paul Reed Smith at all you know his philosophy for building acoustic guitars. That it is a ‘subtractive’ instrument meaning that everything on the guitar isn’t adding more tone, or sustain, it is just subtracting less.
Anything that touches the string has the ability to subtract more sustain or tone from your guitar so they have made sure that these guitars are fitted with Bone saddles and nuts for the best possible sound. You won’t find this on many instruments at this kind of price.
