Description
The PRS SE P20 parlor acoustic boasts traditional parlor features like sweet, mid-range tone, historic vibe and easy portability. The PRS SE P20 offers a unique voice to players. The PRS hybrid "X"/Classical bracing locks down the back and sides while allowing the top to freely vibrate, allowing the PRS SE P20 to project with even, bold tone, while the all-mahogany construction provides an organic warmth to the guitar. Its smaller size keeps playing fun and comfortable for hours, so whether writing, recording, or performing the P20 is sure to impress.

With a satin finish and herringbone rosettes and accents, the PRS SE P20 parlor acoustic looks as good as it sounds. Other high-quality features include a solid mahogany top, ebony fretboard and bridge, bone nut and saddle, as well as PRS trademark bird inlays and headstock design. The PRS SE P20 parlor acoustic comes with a gig bag and is strung with 12-23 strings.

    I was looking for an acoustic that was more comfortable to play on the couch than my big Martin dreadnaught. My main guitar is PRS CE-24, and I own and love two S2s, so I was quite excited when I learned about this guitar. I was far less excited within minutes after it was delivered, however. The reviews I read were good. There also seems to be a consensus that PRS SE acoustics punch above their weight, so to speak, given how affordable they are. I had played a used Angelus at the local GC that felt and sounded pretty good. This parlor guitar, however, did not. The action was very high and irregular. The neck, which seemed to be modeled on a pattern-regular profile, was too narrow for the combination of thicker-gauge strings and more frequent open chording of acoustic playing. All my other guitars are made in the U.S.A., and I didn't expect this to be of comparable quality, but there's just something about a Cor-Tek neck that always feels particularly "off" to me, instantly, and always in the same way whenever I grab something made there. I've tried dozens of electrics and acoustics made there--plenty of chances--but it's always the same. It's like I'm not holding a musical instrument so much as a piece of inexpensive, some-assembly-required furniture. Most disappointingly, the guitar had very little resonance at all. It was hard work to play, and that work was not rewarded, sound-wise. It was definitely comfortable to sit with, but definitely not comfortable otherwise. The binding and birds were nice, but the weird little pickguard has a cheap, almost homemade look to it. I love my USA PRS electrics and was looking forward to this acoustic, but ended up sending it back two weeks later. I wasn't expecting it to compete with the Marty, but I was expecting something that was fun to play and sounded good. Instead, I never felt like picking it up. Still looking for a couch guitar.
