PRS Quality in an Acoustic Guitar!

The SE Angelus Custom from Paul Reed Smith is more than just a gorgeous, painstakingly crafted acoustic guitar. With an allure all its own, the Angelus Custom features a striking solid Sitka spruce top, a solid rosewood back, rosewood sides, and an ebony fingerboard. It's noted for its unusually strong volume, bass, and balanced response, providing a unique voice for an acoustic guitar. There are also PRS's signature bird inlays, a wide carved mahogany neck, and PRS SE tuners. In short, the PRS Angelus Custom offers everything a guitarist could want.

Paul Reed Smith SE Angelus Custom Acoustic Guitar at a Glance:

  • Quality tonewoods and PRS-signature appointments

PRS's mastery turns to acoustic guitars
Paul Reed Smith is considered one of the world's finest guitar makers, known around the globe for their gorgeous electric guitars, each dripping with an incredible tonal palette. And now, PRS has directed all that expertise to the realm of acoustic instruments, crafting the Angelus, designed and crafted with an unwavering attention to detail and tone.

The finest tonewoods and PRS-signature appointments
The PRS Angelus Custom features a 15.5" Angelus body with a solid Sitka spruce top and beautiful rosewood back and sides. The neck of this Angelus Custom follows Paul Reed Smith's "wide" neck shape and is carved from choice mahogany. An ebony fretboard gives the neck extremely smooth feel and rich tones, and the signature bird inlays denote the Angelus as a member of the PRS family at first glance. In all, the Angelus Custom manages to strike the perfect balance between modern eye-catching adornments and a traditional acoustic appearance that's steeped in history.

Beautiful Guitar!

When you first lay your hands on this guitar, you will be blown away with the quality and appearance. This is a beautiful guitar. Clearly the price is missing a digit. I have a small collection of Mar... read more [+]tin and Taylor guitars and this fits in very well. The sound quality is well balanced with a "punchy ring" I usually only hear in more expensive guitars. I am very happy with this guitar out of the box and I can't wait to hear it age. close [-]

PRS SE Angelus Custom

With a lot of help from my sales rep Kurt Martin I managed to get my hands on one of these babies. I could not be happier with my purchase. I don't believe there is another guitar for the money that c... read more [+]omes close. This is all around a fine instrument. It plays great, I am going to see if can lower the action just a tiny bit. It has perfect intonation, a crisp clear well rounded sound and looks like a much more expensive guitar. It also comes with a beautiful hard shell case. I truly believe PRS could not make a mediocre product if they tried.

I had had the opportunity to test drive some other name brand’s high end model acoustics. I admit they did have little better tone but until I can afford 5k for an instrument I could not be more satisfied.
I have to say the folks at Sweetwater make it difficult to shop anywhere else. close [-]

Sounds better than the Martin HD28 I think, or at least just as good! Great guitar well worth the wait!

$795 for the Angelus SE with no electronics, vice $5250 for the Angelus with PRS electronics. Hmmmmm.

Taylor 2 series with a simple piezo pickup for $999. hmmmm.

... read more [+]After hearing and playing both, go with the PRS and call Sweetwater and ask the professionals which aftermarket pickup you should buy and have installed. My guy is Mike Harris, and he knows his stuff.

(PRS, where are the electronics that we need? Your guys have to figure out something! Come on Paul, your younger buyers need to get on board with PRS, and then buy more guitars when they can afford them.)

Five star rating because the guitar is the best i have ever seen in this price range. This is NOT an entry level quality guitar.

No brainer, considering the quality of the build, sound, and "hybrid fan" bracing, which sounds like about $3K. close [-]

"Best in it's class"

I played all the prototypes of this guitar at PRS experience last year. It plays way better than other $800 guitars on the market. To get a better Taylor would cost over 2 grand. Martin? At least 1... read more [+]2, maybe 15. close [-]
