Still, deep, and quietly captivating — Lake Blue is a finish that evokes the calm surface of water on a clear day, with just enough depth to make you wonder what lies beneath. On the figured maple top of the PRS SE Studio, it's a colour that feels both serene and sophisticated, a perfect visual counterpart to the guitar's remarkably versatile tonal character.
The PRS SE Studio is built around a simple but powerful idea: why choose between humbucker warmth and single-coil clarity when you can have both? Its mixed pickup configuration — an 85/15 "S" humbucker at the bridge and a PRS NF (Noise-Free) single-coil at the neck — gives you genuine access to two distinct tonal worlds in a single instrument. Add the push/pull coil-split on the tone control, and the SE Studio becomes one of the most tonally complete guitars in its price range.
With the 3-way toggle and push/pull coil-split working together, the SE Studio gives you access to a wide range of tonal combinations: full humbucker power at the bridge, warm and open single-coil at the neck, both pickups together for a balanced, complex middle tone, and split humbucker options that add even more single-coil character. It's a guitar that adapts to the music rather than the other way around.
Lake Blue is a finish that rewards time spent with it. In bright light it's vivid and clear; in lower light it deepens and becomes more mysterious. On the figured maple top, subtle variations in the wood's grain interact with the colour to create a finish that's never quite the same twice. It's understated in the best possible way — a guitar that grows on you the longer you look at it.
