PRS SE TX20E

The idea that PRS quality is only for the well-heeled is shattered again

This year proved again just how crowded the mid-price marketplace is for acoustics now. And we’re not complaining, but with consistency higher than ever in manufacturing, the little differences become evermore important – a gigbag here, a more advanced preamp there. But sometimes the difference is more intrinsic…

We said: “This is a sorted mid-priced electro-acoustic with great build quality and a pleasing tone straight off the peg... you could say that about a fair few guitars out there – and all available at a similar price. What’s the SE TX20E’S unique selling point? The easy answer is that classic PRS ‘Wide Fat’ neck profile. If you’re an SE electric fan then you already know this neck, and the switch from your solidbody to this electroacoustic should be seamless. If, on the other hand, you’re new to the brand you might be surprised as to just how approachable that neck shape is.”
