PRS SE Angeles AE50EBG Cutaway Acoustic Guitar w/ Electronics and case - Natural top and Black Gold Burst back
PRS SE 2018 Angelus AE50EBG Cutaway Electro Acoustic Guitar
The A50E is the top of the PRS SE Angelus Acoustic line. Featuring some stunning Flamed Maple back and sides with a Sitka Spruce top and their own designed bracing pattern this is a full sounding acoustic with the brightness and snap you would expect from Maple back and sides.
Tone Woods
The first thing you will notice on this guitar is the absolutely stunning Flamed Maple back and sides that have been lined with Abalone. This not only looks amazing but provides the guitar with a bright snap and great note definition that really makes this guitar something special for anyone who loves single note lines or complicated chords. Anywhere that you need great string separation this is an amazing choice.
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 Maple 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.
