PRS SE Paul Allender Signature 2008 Korea~ Purple Quilt Burst~ Bat Inlays

PRS SE Paul Allender Signature – 2008 – Purple Quilt Burst – Made in Korea

A striking early PRS signature model, featuring a stunning purple quilted maple top, gold hardware and Paul Allender’s distinctive bat inlays.

Designed in collaboration with Paul Allender of Cradle of Filth, the SE Paul Allender is one of the more distinctive signature guitars to come from PRS.

This 2008 Korean-made example is from the original production run, featuring the beautiful Custom Allender Burst finish, specially designed PRS humbuckers and the original gold hardware.

The quilted maple top is particularly attractive, with a deep purple centre fading into almost black around the edges. Combined with the custom bat inlays, it gives this guitar an unmistakable appearance.

Underneath that impressive finish is a mahogany body with a maple top, paired with a comfortable Wide Thin maple neck and 24-fret rosewood fingerboard. The dual PRS-designed humbuckers deliver a powerful, articulate sound, making this a great choice for rock and metal while still offering plenty of versatility.

CONDITION

A very nice example for its age, with light surface scratches, some minor marks and general play wear consistent with a guitar from 2008. There is also some ageing and tarnishing to the gold hardware, particularly around the bridge.

The frets are in lovely condition and have just been polished by us, with a fresh set of strings fitted.

The guitar plays beautifully and is ready to enjoy.

Please study the photographs, which show the actual guitar for sale.
