(ARCHIVE) Used Paul Reed Smith SE Paul Allender Signature Model
- Description
- Guitarchives
PRS SE Paul Allender (Cradle of Filth) Signature in purple burst over flame maple, made in Korea 2013. An understated riff-machine; this guitar combines the perfect balance of the Custom 24 body shape with some high output active EMGs. The bat inlays are a cool twist on the iconic birds, and the finish is a cheeky almost-looks-black number that really pops when you look closely. This one is just back from a professional fret-dress and full setup, it's now sporting some sensible medium frets and playing very nicely indeed. These are discontinued now, but they sold for around $1.2k when they were new, so grab a bargain on a certified face melter.
