Few finishes in the PRS catalogue generate as much immediate excitement as Orange Tiger Smokeburst. A vivid, flame-orange centre that fades through amber into a deep, smoky charcoal at the edges — laid over a figured maple top whose natural tiger stripe figure amplifies the drama of every colour transition. This is a guitar that looks like it's already on fire before you've plugged it in.
But the SE Studio is far more than a visual spectacle. Its mixed pickup configuration — an 85/15 "S" humbucker at the bridge paired with a PRS NF (Noise-Free) single-coil at the neck — gives you a tonal range that matches the visual drama of the finish. From searing, high-gain bridge tones to warm, open neck clarity, with a push/pull coil-split that adds even more single-coil versatility, the Orange Tiger Smokeburst SE Studio is a guitar that delivers on every level.
The figured maple top on the Orange Tiger Smokeburst is selected for its pronounced tiger stripe figure — tight, parallel lines of chatoyant figure that catch the light and shift as you move. The Smokeburst finish is designed to work with this figure, using the colour gradient to highlight the wood's natural drama. No two tops are identical, making every Orange Tiger Smokeburst SE Studio a genuinely unique instrument.
The combination of an 85/15 "S" humbucker and a PRS NF single-coil gives the SE Studio a tonal range that most guitars can only dream of. The humbucker delivers the power, sustain, and warmth needed for rock, blues, and high-gain playing; the NF single-coil brings clarity, articulation, and the open, airy quality of classic single-coil tone — hum-free and stage-ready. The push/pull coil-split on the tone control splits the bridge humbucker for additional single-coil combinations, making this one of the most versatile guitars in the SE range.
