Personal Thoughts:
The Swamp Ash Special has always been one of PRS’s most versatile and unique models, and this 2025 example in Black Doghair Smokeburst is both visually bold and tonally rich. The swamp ash body gives it an open, airy resonance, while the carved maple top adds snap and definition. Pair that with a maple neck and fingerboard, and you get fast attack, clarity, and a beautifully balanced tonal spectrum.
Loaded with PRS 58/15 LT humbuckers and a Narrowfield middle pickup, the Swamp Ash Special covers everything from vintage warmth to sparkling single-coil textures. With coil-split functionality and a 5-way switch, it offers a staggering range of sounds — ideal for players who need one guitar to handle it all.
The Black Doghair Smokeburst finish is striking in person, with the grain patterns of the swamp ash peeking through, giving it a raw, organic feel that’s still refined by PRS’s flawless craftsmanship.
