Spec'd by the Opeth frontman.
The PRS SE Mikael Åkerfeldt is a new guitar with features designed by the player and developed
with PRS. Here's what Mikael says about his new signature guitar:
"It will be single cutaway mahogany body with a flamed
maple top. The neck will be of the wide-fat type and made of 3 piece maple that also goes around to the front of the headstock.
Sweet! Ebony fretboard and 24 jumbo frets with extra large side dots for the 5th and 12th fret (I have fluorescent tape on
my other guitars so I can sing and still see where I'm at while playing, this will look better!)."
"There will be the
old-style PRS bird inlays on the fretboard. One HFS and one Vintage bass pickup thrown in with a 3-way toggle switch. PRS-style
tremolo and all the hardware all will be gold (Bling! Well... It's fool's gold or something, but whatever...). The main finish
is called 'tortoise shell'. The whole guitar will be high-glossed up apart from the back of the neck which I've requested
to be satin matt, which is so much better for me at least."
"There will be a nice little Opeth "O" logo under the bridge
as well. Comes with a gig bag. I think I might spend the LA nights with it... yes.. kinky! I think it looks stunning, oh yes
I do!"
