PRS SE Guitars are not manufactured in America at PRS Guitars in Maryland as the other series are. The SE version of these are called Student Edition Series. The first three letters stand for Paul Reed Smith named so because the founder was Luthier Paul Reed Smith a great guitarist himself.
PRS stand for Paul Reed Smith who is the one who founded this company and started it on its journey to greatness and popularity in the late 1980's. He was a guitarist also and put his own mark on these models of things he liked on the ones he played.
Maple veneers did show up on on of the Student Editions known as the Soapbar Two Series. These veneers were beautiful and many hobbyists as well as guitar beginners seek these prize series out. The excellent guitar players who may be in bands and the like still go for the high quality and high cost PRS Series.
Metal and Heavy Rock guitarists fell in love with the version called the Torreo. This model was much more expensive than its budget friendly counterparts. These were much different as well except for the tuners which stayed the same and it was Korea made as well.
Original PRS finishes are mostly made from high quality mahogany in the body and maple used to craft and finish the tops of the body for an immaculate and classic style. If you really want to make a statement with your guitar then look to some of the more extravagant designs like tiger stripes made of maple.
The fingerboards are crafted by using a unique Indian rosewood on some pricier models and is used on some models for the neck. But mahogany is the wood that most of the necks on all of the models is crafted from. The thing that sets these out from others on the music markets are their distinguishing markers for frets. Whereas most guitars only use the boring dot to mark, these include excellent designed ten types of birds for high end and crescent shapes of moons in different forms for low end on PRS SE Guitars and their other models.
