If you think all acoustic guitars sound the same, the PRS SE Angelus A40 is here to politely disagree—and then blow your mind. While the rest of the world is arguing about rosewood versus mahogany, PRS quietly slipped in Ovangkol for the back and sides, paired it with a solid spruce top, and created a monster. This combination delivers a tone that is full, lush, and undeniably expensive-sounding. It has the deep, throaty lows of rosewood but with a midrange clarity that cuts through a mix like a diamond-tipped sawblade. It’s breathtaking volume meets delicate nuance, a guitar that can whisper a lullaby or scream a rock anthem without breaking a sweat.

Let’s be real: acoustic guitars can sometimes feel like wrestling a wooden box. The SE Angelus A40, however, features the Angelus Cutaway body shape, which is as ergonomic as it is elegant. It sits against your body comfortably, whether you're perched on a stool or standing center stage. The "Wide Fat" mahogany neck fills your hand with a substantial, confidence-inspiring grip that feels broken-in from the moment you pick it up. And thanks to that generous cutaway, your fingers can dance all the way up the ebony fretboard without hitting a roadblock. It’s designed for players who want to explore every inch of the instrument, not just the cowboy chords at the nut.
Beauty is skin deep, but tone is in the bones. The secret to the A40's massive voice is the PRS hybrid “X”/Classical bracing. Think of it as the suspension system for your sound; it locks down the back and sides for stability while allowing the top to vibrate freely, like a trampoline. This results in projection that defies physics. When it’s time to plug in, the PRS-Voiced Fishman Presys VT system is ready to go. With volume and tone controls stealthily tucked inside the soundhole, there are no ugly plastic "barn doors" cut into the side of the guitar to ruin the vibe. You get pure, organic, plugged-in tone that sounds like your guitar, only louder.


The PRS SE Angelus A40 isn't just a pretty face (though with those tiger acrylic accents and bird inlays, it’s definitely a looker). It’s a serious tool for the serious musician. From the bone nut and saddle that transfer every ounce of string energy to the body, to the rock-solid ebony bridge, every component is chosen for performance. It’s reliable, resonant, and ready to go wherever the music takes you. And because PRS knows you’ll want to protect this investment, it ships in a high-quality hardshell case, ensuring your tone travels in safety and style.
