PRS Torero SE | Poised To Capture the Shred Guitar Market?

PRS is set to release their first Floyd Rose-equipped guitar -- the Torero SE.

A lot of thought it seems has been put into the design of the neck, making it as shred-friendly as possible.  With a 24-fret ebony fingerboard sans fingerboard markers on a wide thin-carved neck, this axe is also the first production-model PRS to feature neck-thru construction.  The smooth carved heel-less neck design will no doubt facilitate effortless 16th note triplet runs in the stratospheric registers.

The solid mahogany body features a flame maple-top with binding,  EMG 81 and 85 active pickups in the neck and bridge positions respectively, a 3-way pickup selector, a single volume and tone control and of course the Floyd Rose 1000 bridge.

With a release slated for the first quarter of 2010, the PRS Torero SE will be available in Black Cherry and Gray Black finishes.
