PRS has announced a limited run of Sand-Blasted Swamp Ash finishes for its SE electric guitars.

The head-turning guitars feature solid swamp ash tops, which are sand-blasted then grain-filled to add color - an idea lifted from the PRS Private Stock team.

They’ll be available on Custom 24, Custom 24 Lefty, Custom 24 Floyd and Custom 22 models.
