PRS Quality in a Baritone

The Paul Reed Smith SE 277 Baritone is a powerful sonic tool for guitarists who love down-tuned riffing and for players who need a vast array of new low-end colors for recording and performing. The two humbucking pickups on the 277 Baritone can be split to offer you both humbucking and single-coil tones. And the birds in flight inlays, the beveled flame maple top, and the identifiable body shape exude unmistakable PRS quality. This SE 277 Baritone is sure to add new low-strung colors to your playing.

Paul Reed Smith SE 277 Baritone Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • 27.7" scale baritone
  • Tone Furnace humbucking pickups
  • Unmistakable PRS appointments
27.7" scale baritone

Baritone electric guitars have been in use with popular music for decades. Both '60s surf rock sounds and spaghetti western soundtracks were full of these down-tuned instruments. Not only did they offer their own muscular twang, but baritones were often used underneath the bass part - known as tic tac bass - for more definition. Today the baritone tradition is going strong with the aggressive lows of heavy metal, and extended-scale instruments like the SE 277 Baritone offer sonic adventurers a way to find new chord voicings.

Tone Furnace humbucking pickups

Onboard the PRS SE 277 Baritone is a pair of PRS-designed Tone Furnace humbucking pickups. These humbuckers are voiced to cover a lot of sonic ground. When in full humbucking mode, they retain a tight low end and clear highs to cut through your high-gain signal, which helps single-string passages punch through. Pulling up on the tone control splits the coils of both pickups for the single-coil tones and twang that initially identified the instrument. The SE 277 Baritone is a great instrument to have in your arsenal for performing or recording.

Unmistakable PRS appointments

The SE 277 Baritone is loaded with appointments that immediately identify the guitar as a Paul Reed Smith. The beveled flame maple veneer top keeps a classy look and feel to the instrument. A PRS-designed plate-style hardtail bridge delivers solid tuning stability in a low-profile design that feels comfortable to your picking hand. And the birds in flight fretboard inlay speaks volumes about the quality of craftsmanship and tone you can expect from this PRS. Sweetwater guitarists can't wait to add this baritone to their collections.
