An Instrument Fit for a Guitar Great
The SE Orianthi has much more than just a cool-sounding name. Orianthi is the name of the breakout female guitarist who's been receiving praise from today's top guitarists for her all-around level of mastery. Michael Jackson chose none other than Orianthi to play on his "This Is It" tour. And Carlos Santana has remarked, "If I was going to pass the baton to somebody, she would be my first choice." Steve Vai and ZZ Top have also sung her praises. So it makes sense that Orianthi, a devoted PRS player since 1997 (ever since she saw Santana play in concert on his PRS), has worked together with PRS to create her signature model. A true player's guitar through and through, the SE Orianthi is an instrument you'll be proud to get in your hands.

Let's take a look at that top: Scarlet Red flamed maple, for catching eyes onstage. Then, your eyes will likely be drawn to those famous bird inlays - and this is one of the very first SE models to feature those must-have PRS birds. The guitar itself is based off of the PRS Custom 24 model, with a Maple top, a 24-fret wide-thin maple neck, and an ebony fingerboard. Yet, the SE Orianthi adds a korina back, that Scarlet Red finish we told you about, and then the signature "O" at the 12th fret. And to make the SE Orianthi equally as striking in tone as it is in looks, there are two humbucking pickups: an SE HFS Humbucker and an SE Vintage Bass Humbucker.
Up your onstage looks and sound with a guitar fit for a fantastic player. Get your hands on the PRS SE Orianthi!
