Riff like a rock star and stand out on stage with the Paul Reed Smith SE Paul Allender electric guitar. It was named after and endorsed by Paul Allender, lead guitarist of the extreme metal band Cradle of Filth. This guitar can be heard on the band's album Godspeed On the Devil's Thunder. A powerful axe with loads of sonic detail, this guitar is a special edition model for hardcore music enthusiasts.This right-handed electric guitar for six strings has a solid, double-cut body. It comes in a custom black-tinged purple burst finish with a coat of polyurethane. It boasts ebony fretboards, jumbo frets, and black binding. The tuners and Tune-O-Matic bridge both have gold hardware. It all combines to make the signature purple burst really stand out. The gold hardware is also a stylish upgrade for a rocking look.These guitars also boast a rosewood fingerboard and a maple neck that's smooth, fast, and wide. The bats are richly intricate with delicate detail. The tuners are sealed and non-locking. They have a PRS designed gold tremolo. The body is mahogany and maple for excellent sound. The guitar has a scale length of 25 inches, and it has 24 frets. It also has a built-in whammy bar.It features specially wound PRS-designed Paul Allender Humbucker-type EMG pickups. An EMG 89 bass and an EMG 81TW treble pickup combine to provide incredible attack and response. You control tone and volume using a 3-way toggle selector. The instrument boasts coil-tapped push/pull volume controls on the neck pickup and tone controls on the bridge pickup. This instrument is easy to tune with a strong sustain. These guitars also have a pure, clean sound that's as powerful as their distortion. You can set the action as low or high as you want with no buzz. And the lower you go on the fretboard, the warmer the sound gets.Paul Allender first began playing PRS guitars after leaving Cradle of Filth and starting the band The Blood Divine. It was a secondhand CE24 guitar he used all the way through to 2000 when he rejoined COF. After that, he sent his own design to PRS featuring the sunburst pattern against a top of curly "flamed" veneer.The Allender design of electric guitars also replaced the traditional PRS bird inlays with bat inlays. What's more, each bat is featured in a different pose, with wings in a different position mid-flight. PRS built Allender his original guitar by way of its Private Stock department. That design ultimately influenced the original SE model Paul designed and PRS Guitars later released in 2007.The instrument is lightweight and hangs comfortably from the shoulder or sits snugly in your lap. The strap buttons are wide and thick, so your strap will be sure to stay on securely. It doesn't matter if you're playing COF songs, other bands’ covers, or your own originals. These guitars offer the kind of versatility that lets you find the perfect sound, whatever your musical style.
