Quick Product Summary

The PRS SE P20E Parlour is a compact electro-acoustic guitar that combines the comfortable proportions of a traditional parlour instrument with a surprisingly full, warm and projecting sound. Its solid mahogany top and mahogany back and sides give it a rich, organic character that works particularly well for fingerstyle playing, songwriting, blues, folk and relaxed strumming.

This version pairs a striking Gloss Black top with Black Dog Hair satin back and sides, while the PRS-Voiced Fishman Presys VT pickup system makes it equally at home plugged into an acoustic amplifier, PA or recording setup. Premium appointments including an ebony fingerboard and bridge, bone nut and saddle, PRS bird inlays and an included PRS gig bag make the P20E an exceptionally well-equipped compact acoustic.

What Makes the PRS SE P20E Special?

The P20E demonstrates just how much sound can come from a smaller acoustic guitar. Its all-mahogany construction produces a naturally warm and focused voice, while PRS Hybrid “X”/Classical bracing allows the solid top to vibrate freely for impressive projection and an even response. The shorter 24.72-inch scale length, compact Tonare Parlour body and PRS Wide Fat neck also give it an inviting playing feel that lends itself particularly well to extended practice, songwriting and fingerstyle work.

It is also much more than a compact acoustic for playing around the house. The PRS-Voiced Fishman Presys VT systemuses an undersaddle pickup with discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls, allowing the character of the guitar to translate naturally when amplified. Ebony, bone and PRS's trademark bird inlays provide the premium finishing touches expected from the SE acoustic range.

Who Is It For?

The PRS SE P20E is an excellent choice for players who want a smaller-bodied acoustic without sacrificing projection or build quality. Its compact dimensions make it particularly comfortable for seated playing, travelling and songwriting sessions, while the warm mahogany voice suits fingerpickers, blues players and singer-songwriters especially well.

Its onboard pickup also makes it suitable for gigging musicians who need a portable acoustic that can be connected directly to an amplifier or PA. From progressing players looking for a high-quality first electro-acoustic to experienced guitarists wanting a distinctive parlour instrument alongside a larger dreadnought or auditorium guitar, the P20E has broad appeal.

Why Choose A Parlour Electro Acoustic Guitar?

Parlour guitars offer a more compact and intimate playing experience than larger dreadnought and jumbo-style acoustics. Their smaller bodies are comfortable to hold, easy to transport and often deliver a focused midrange response that works beautifully for fingerstyle playing, recording and vocal accompaniment.

Adding an onboard pickup expands that versatility even further. The P20E can be enjoyed acoustically at home and then connected directly to an acoustic amplifier, PA system or audio interface when rehearsing, recording or performing.

Frequently Asked Questions
