Fine tonewoods meet signature PRS appointments
The PRS SE Tonare TX20E features a Tonare body with a solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides. The neck of this SE Tonare TX20E follows Paul Reed Smith's Pattern wide-fat profile and is carved from choice mahogany. A bound ebony fretboard gives the neck a smooth feel and rich tones. And the signature bird inlays denote the Tonare as a member of the PRS family. The SE Tonare TX20E manages to strike the perfect balance between modern eye-catching adornments and a traditional acoustic appearance.
Traditional X-bracing offers punch and stability
The PRS X-bracing method found on the SE Tonare TX20E is similar to the techniques used by some of the most legendary acoustic guitar luthiers in history. This bracing pairs resonant tops with equally resonant backs and sides, offering a powerful tone that is reminiscent of some of the most iconic vintage acoustic guitars. It’s a feature that Sweetwater players love for its traditional take on the PRS sound. Add in the guitar’s full, non-cutaway design, and you have an especially warm-sounding instrument that will invite you back time and time again.
Fishman under-saddle pickup system
Getting your acoustic guitar tone to translate in a live environment can be tricky. That’s why PRS outfitted their SE Tonare TX20E with a high-quality Fishman GT1 under-saddle pickup system. These electronics naturally sense vibration at the point where it’s the clearest and most intense. This gives you a clear and strong voice with good feedback rejection. Soundhole controls for tone and volume let you dial in your tone to taste. And the controls’ low-profile design does away with unsightly electronics dominating the look of your guitar.
