About this model
Players who need one acoustic-electric guitar for expressive rhythm work, fingerstyle detail and stage-ready performance will find a versatile fit in the PRS SE A40E Angelus acoustic-electric guitar. Its Angelus Cutaway body pairs a solid Sitka spruce top with ovangkol back and sides, creating a full, lush voice shaped by PRS hybrid "X"/Classical bracing for impressive projection, nuance and a responsive feel. PRS-voiced Fishman Presys VT electronics, an ebony fingerboard and bridge, bone nut and saddle, PRS-designed tuners and an included hardshell case make the SE A40E Angelus a refined acoustic-electric built for frequent performance and recording use. Angelus Versatility With Solid Spruce Clarity The Angelus Cutaway body gives the SE A40E a balanced acoustic platform with the comfort and upper-fret access players need for modern acoustic playing. Its solid Sitka spruce top brings clarity, dynamic range and the responsiveness to handle everything from delicate fingerstyle passages to assertive strumming. That makes this PRS acoustic-electric an excellent choice for players who move seamlessly between accompaniment, lead work and melodic arrangements. Ovangkol Back and Sides for Lush Balance Ovangkol back and sides give the SE A40E a full, rounded acoustic voice with impressive tonal balance and harmonic richness. Paired with the solid Sitka spruce top, the guitar delivers articulate highs, warm lows and excellent note separation across a wide range of playing styles. PRS hybrid "X"/Classical bracing helps the top vibrate freely, supporting projection, volume and nuance while maintaining a lively, responsive feel. PRS-Voiced Fishman Electronics for Plugged-In Control The PRS-voiced Fishman Presys VT pickup system gives the SE A40E Angelus a natural amplified voice for rehearsals, recording and live performance. Its undersaddle pickup captures articulation and definition, while soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls keep adjustments close at hand without disrupting the guitar's clean acoustic appearance. This streamlined system makes it easy to move from unplugged practice to amplified performance while preserving the instrument's natural acoustic character. Wide Fat Neck and Ebony Playing Surface A mahogany neck with PRS's Wide Fat profile gives the SE A40E a solid, familiar hand feel that supports both chordal playing and melodic movement. The ebony fingerboard and bridge provide smooth playability and a solid tonal foundation, while the 25.3" scale length, 20 frets, 11.81" fingerboard radius and bone nut create a stable acoustic playing experience. PRS bird inlays and the signature headstock design provide the brand's recognizable visual identity. Tiger Acrylic Detail and Hardshell Case Protection Tiger acrylic purfling, a tiger acrylic rosette with cream and black accents, cream body binding and PRS-designed tuners give the SE A40E a refined appearance that complements its premium acoustic voice. A bone saddle and ebony bridge contribute to dependable acoustic performance, while the included hardshell case provides secure protection for transport and storage. With its solid Sitka spruce top, ovangkol back and sides, Angelus Cutaway body and stage-ready electronics, the PRS SE A40E Angelus acoustic-electric guitar is built to deliver inspiring performance across a wide range of musical settings.
