PRS Limited Edition SE Ed Sheeran Cosmic Splash Hollowbody I Baritone Electric Guitar

Feast your eyes on the shape of this – it's the PRS SE Ed Sheeran Hollowbody I Piezo Baritone in a celestial Cosmic Splash! The product of close collaboration between Paul Reed Smith Guitars and musician Ed Sheeran, this SE Hollowbody I Piezo Baritone model is a highly customized and specialized piece sure to inspire. An instrument to fill stadiums all around the world, the "Cosmic Splash" gives an up-close-and-personal look on the singer and all the creativity he champions.

For Mr. Sheeran, the creative juices never stop following. This truly unique limited signature model offers a new angle on what you might initially think of signature model guitars. Kicking everything off with a standout feature, this Ed Sheeran signature PRS features a double-cutaway, flatback hollow body with a shallow violin carve. The shape is brought together by a mahogany back and a maple top for a classic, resonant, hollowbody tone acoustically or plugged in. Treated to an expressionist finish translated from Sheeran's own "Cosmic Carpark" paintings, this body is as much a visual feast as it is an audible one.

Breaking from usual hollowbody tradition, the Cosmic Splash extends out with a baritone-scale maple neck in a PRS Wide Fat profile. This neck reaches for a long 27.7" scale length that quickly translates into playing passages that easily bounce back and forth from more traditional guitar stylings to deeper, bassy riffs. The guitar's rosewood fingerboard and modern 10" radius present twenty-two PRS Standard frets hit with yet another Sheeran flourish: Custom Ed Sheeran "Media Button" inlays with Play, Pause, Fast-Forward, and Stop emblems. A Play button appears emblazoned on the truss rod cover, also.

Sonically, the PRS SE Cosmic Splash comes loaded with a rich sonic palette to quickly inspire creation and not get in the way. Two PRS 85/15 "S" humbucking pickups line up in this signature model for crisp PRS humbucker warmth alongside a PRS/L.R. Baggs Piezo pickup system for that added amplified acoustic sensibility. With this guitar, PRS opens the field to either isolate or blend the piezo's acoustic output with the electric power of the 85/15s.

This signature PRS backs up its sights and sounds with a couple smaller bits to top it all off. For one, a PRS Adjustable Stoptail Piezo bridge matches PRS-Designed tuning machines for easy stringing across the extended scale length. For another, this hollowbody travels with an included PRS SE gig bag and an 8" x 8" print of Sheeran's Cosmic Carpark painting signed by the artist himself. The PRS SE Ed Sheeran Cosmic Splash Hollowbody I Piezo Baritone is limited to 1,000 pieces worldwide.

A customized work of art in more ways than one, this limited edition PRS is concrete proof of the benefits of thinking out loud.
