PRS 2008 SE Paul Allender Signature - Allender Purple Burst (Pre-owned)
Here is an excellent opportunity to acquire a rare and stylish 2008 PRS SE Paul Allender (Cradle of Filth) signature guitar. This Series 1 model (2007-2009) sports a mesmerising Allender Purple Burst finish on the figured Maple top, and the gold hardware that was exclusive to that series. The instantly recognizable PRS fretmarker birds have been effectively transmogrified into gothic "Bat in Flight" pearloid inlays.
This guitar has been upgraded by a previous owner with high-output, aftermarket PRS USA Dragon humbucker pickups that retain a warm, vintage tone but offer greater versatility; and the 3-way toggle switch has been upgraded to a 5-way rotary switch which now enables further coil-split sound options. The guitar has been used, but there are no flaws or signs of wear that merit mention here: it is in excellent condition and comes with a PRS SE gig bag.
