Between the deep Purple Burst finish, flamed maple veneer, gold hardware and unmistakable bat fretboard inlays, there isn’t much chance of confusing this with a standard SE.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one is also in excellent condition for its age.

The gold hardware has developed some tarnishing and ageing, most noticeably around the tremolo, pickup hardware and tuners. There are also the occasional small mark around the guitar as photographed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNothing here detracts from what is a really attractive example, and the Purple Burst still looks fantastic under the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease study the photographs carefully as they form part of the description.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaul Allender Signature Model\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for Paul Allender of Cradle of Filth, this version of the SE takes the familiar PRS double-cut platform in a much heavier direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe centrepiece is the gorgeous flamed maple veneer beneath the Purple Burst finish, fading into the dark outer edge and complemented by gold hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThen there are those inlays.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead of traditional PRS birds, the rosewood fingerboard carries Paul Allender’s distinctive mother-of-pearl style bat inlays, one of the features that makes these immediately recognisable and increasingly interesting as an older discontinued PRS signature model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickups \u0026amp;
