In January of this year, PRS launched the SE Ed Sheeran Cosmic Splash Limited Edition. The exact same model but now in catalog colorways instead of Cosmic Splash, the SE Ed Sheeran Hollowbody I Piezo Baritone is available in exclusive finishes Kaleidoscope and Pink Ombre, along with Orange Tiger Smokeburst. This model will also feature birds on the fretboard.
“Metal guitarists will absolutely shred on this, jazz guitarists will love this, and it will be able to fit into so many great scenarios. For all the guitar people out there who look at me as not an electric player, don’t let the person behind the guitar fool you. This is an incredible instrument and will fit in many, many guitar players’ collections,” said Ed Sheeran.
Designed in collaboration with Ed Sheeran, the 27.7" scale length model is built with a maple top and mahogany back, and features a fully hollow body with a center-block design for added resonance and controlled feedback. Equipped with PRS 85/15 “S” pickups and a PRS/LR Baggs piezo system, the guitar offers the ability to blend the piezo’s acoustic voice with electric power or isolate either signal for stage or studio flexibility.
“Artists are such an important part of our product development,” continued Higginbotham. “The relationships we have with new artists is one of the amazing, energizing, motivational, inspirational things that we get to do as a company. Developing this guitar with Ed Sheeran is a great example of what these types of relationships are, and how we can collaborate with a world-renowned artist to create something new. Further, it highlights how the SE Series in general is studio and stage ready for even the biggest artists.”
