The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
PRS-designed pickups with controlled resonance; maple top with mahogany body for tonal clarity; 25-inch scale for comfortable fret access; molded body contours reduce neck dive; SE production quality control matches build consistency of instruments twice the price.
Pairs well with intermediate-level amplifiers (30W minimum recommended). Stock pickups suit most genres but upgrading electronics is straightforward. Comes set up from factory—minimal adjustment needed. Case sold separately; hardshell case recommended for the finish protection.
The SE Paul's Guitar proves PRS's design philosophy transcends price tier. It delivers tonal sophistication and build quality that justify investment, making it a natural step for players outgrowing beginner instruments without overextending budget.

Paul’s Favorite Features In Your Hands
“The SE Paul’s Guitar is a great example of design, engineering, and teamwork. It’s as close to home as we could get inside of the SE Series, and I am very proud of it.” - Paul Reed Smith
The SE Paul’s Guitar delivers a lot of “PRS,” starting with tone and versatility. The TCI “S” treble and bass pickups deliver a pure, vintage sound. The SE Paul’s Guitar also features two mini-toggle switches between the volume and tone knobs, which enable you to coil tap both pickups independently, yielding eight total pickup combinations. The PRS stoptail bridge is the same machined stoptail with brass inserts as spec'd on the Core Paul's Guitar.
“The Paul’s Guitar, like the Modern Eagle before it, has always been about Paul’s latest discoveries in guitar making. To bring this guitar into the SE Series, we knew the tone, functionality, and playability had to be right and had to be consistent,” said Jack Higginbotham, COO, PRS Guitars. “We feel this guitar offers a lot of value to players.”
PRS Stoptail with Brass Inserts
Engineered with curved string slots with brass inserts and brass studs to take full advantage of the resonant properties of the guitar.
PRS Designed Tuners with Wing Buttons
Designed to PRS’s specifications, these lightweight tuners provide precise tuning and won’t dampen your tone.
PRS TCI “S”
Musical pickups that offer versatile tones from spanky single coils to full soapbars. Designed to PRS’s specification.
