Celebrating PRS’s 40th anniversary, the Swamp Ash Special is back in the Core line, showcasing an exquisite swamp ash body with a stunning Vintage Natural finish that sets it apart from traditional maple-topped mahogany models. This electric guitar offers unmatched versatility, playability, and dynamic tones, making it a must-have for guitarists seeking the best of vintage warmth and modern performance.

A Masterpiece of Craftsmanship and Tone

Crafted with a solid swamp ash body, the PRS Swamp Ash Special delivers exceptional resonance, clarity, and midrange bite. The lightweight properties of swamp ash, sourced from the banks of the Mississippi River, provide balanced tones with dynamic response—whether you’re playing clean country licks or distorted rock riffs. Complementing this beautiful tonewood, the satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish allows the guitar to age gracefully, developing a vintage-style patina over time.

Unmatched Playability

The Swamp Ash Special features a maple neck with a Pattern Regular profile that strikes the perfect balance between comfort and speed. The 10-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard is adorned with iconic PRS bird inlays and equipped with 22 frets for smooth and precise playability. The bolt-on neck construction enhances sustain and articulation, making every note ring with clarity.

Sonic Versatility at Your Fingertips

Equipped with a trio of PRS pickups, this guitar offers a sonic palette that covers any genre:

  • 58/15 LT Humbuckers (neck and bridge): These pickups deliver vintage-inspired tones with rich warmth and dynamic clarity, perfect for anything from blues to hard rock.
  • Narrowfield Humbucker (middle position): Experience single-coil-style shimmer without the hum, blending characteristics of humbuckers, P-90s, and mini humbuckers for ultimate versatility.

The advanced switching system includes a 5-way blade switch and dual coil-tap mini-switches, giving you access to everything from bold humbucker power to sparkling single-coil tones. This genre-defying range makes the Swamp Ash Special a go-to instrument for live performances and studio sessions alike.

Premium Hardware and Reliability

Designed for professional use, the PRS patented tremolo bridge allows for expressive bends and dives while maintaining tuning stability. The PRS Phase III tuners offer smooth and precise tuning adjustments, ensuring your guitar is always performance-ready.

An origins story of sorts
Format: Paperback
Darth Vader is an angry man. Recently Anakin Skywalker, hero of the Republic, the Chosen One in the eyes of some of the Jedi, he is now a literally broken man, as much machine as human, as result of losing a battle with his former master—and ‘brother’—and left to die along the lava rivers of Mustafar. Worse, he is bereft of his great love, Padme Amidala, and is at least the proximate, if not the direct, cause of her death. So yeah, he has a few things to work out. This first volume of the second DV run from Marvel focuses on how Vader becomes Vader, the Dark Lord of the Sith that strikes fear in the hearts of friend and foe alike. The plot here across the six collected issues is fairly minimal. Having lost his lightsaber to Obi-Wan in the Mustafar fight, he needs a new one, and it needs to a Sith saber, which can only be gotten by taking a saber from a foe and “bleeding” it, by infusing its crystal with all the hate and anger that drives the Sith. In the process, this will turn the crystal’s light red (thus explaining why Sith sabers are the color they are). So, the first three issues are about him acquiring and crafting said saber. The other issues are his rocky introduction to and training of the Inquisitorious, the Emperor’s new Jedi hunters. So, with six issues of not a whole lot of story, does this collection work? To my surprise, yes it does. This is all about emotion, and if there is a standout star, it’s Vader’s rage. His former life gone, crushed and burned in the fires of Mustafar, Vader’s going to forge a new one in the very flames of his anger. Writer Charles Soule has done a fine job in depicting this inner turmoil and translating it into the foundations of the Dark Lord’s new life. Also nicer is artist Giuseppe Camuncoli’s work. The artwork is dynamic—Vader is agile, fluid and skillful —and interesting. It’s good stuff and does a fine job giving us insight to Vader’s state of mind. As I’ve said, there’s not a whole lot of story here, but there is a fine character study of damaged man rebuilding himself into a powerful and formidable individual.

Vader's Second Marvel Series Is Good!
Format: Paperback
This is actually the start of a second Vader series. The first one began, along with the new Marvel main Star Wars series, right after the Death Star was destroyed. That Vader series birthed the new characters of Doctor Aphra, Triple Zero, BeeTee, and Cylo. Now, that series has come to an end. THIS NEW SERIES IS GOOD! It picks up the moment that Anakin Skywalker awakes in his armor at the end of Revenge of the Sith. It chronicles the first steps of Darth Vader. We learn something new about the Sith. They do not create their own lightsabers. They must take a saber from a Jedi and make it their own. The Sith blades are red and only red. Why? Palpatine explains that the kyber crystals that power the sabers are living things within the Force. This is backed up by the Rogue One novel (it was either that or Catalyst). The crystals are rock, but they are also alive. In the hands of a Sith, the new owner uses the Dark Side to push all his pain into the crystal--until the crystal bleeds and turns the color of the beam red. I just think that is all sorts of awesome!

Vader when he still is Anakin
Format: Paperback
This comic picks up right where Episode III left off. Like directly. There's the whole "Noooooooooo" thing and everything. I liked seeing Vader when he is new to being a Sith. It really is Anakin under there still. Throughout the comic, that Anakin begins to fall away. I liked the mix of prequel and original trilogy aesthetic. Seeing Vader alongside clone troopers was very cool. The Grand Inquisitor even makes a cameo! I read the Dark Horse comics that took place right after Order 66 so certain aspects of this comic remind me of those. In this comic, there are jedi who took the Barash Vow prior to the Purge, so they are still out and about in the galaxy. Vader takes this opportunity to take a lightsaber and make it bleed. I really enjoyed this first volume in a new, ongoing comic series. I am absolutely excited for volume two. I give this volume a 5/5.
