Description
This beautiful, Korean-made 2012 PRS SE Bernie Marsden Signature Electric Guitar w/ Cream T Berniebuckers upgrade has been gently owned and is in in excellent condition with light, normal wear! A handful of minor scratches and tiny, barely visible pressure dimples can be found under close inspection, but it’s overall very clean! Bridge studs and saddles have been aged, as have the Berniebucker pickup covers. Speaking of, the UK-made Cream T Berniebuckers sound amazing (a $430 value)! Neck is straight as an arrow and frets show light wear. Looks, plays and sounds great! Original PRS gig bag included.
Best known for his work with Whitesnake, Bernie Marsden has long been respected for his rich, blues inspired style. His impeccable talent as a guitar player has kept him active in the music world for over thirty years and allowed him to share company with a virtual “who’s who” of recording and touring musicians.
Closely designed with Marsden himself, the SE Bernie Marsden offers classic appeal with today’s quality and dependability. Appointments include a Vintage Sunburst maple top with flame maple veneer and creme binding along the body’s top edge and a 24.5″ scale length, 22 fret wide fat mahogany neck with bound rosewood fretboard. Cream T Berniebuckers pickups, two volume controls and a single tone control with a 3-way toggle pickup selector round out the offerings. Includes gig bag.
Bernie Marsden Berniebuckers
We visited Bernie in October 2019 with our scanner and were lucky enough to clone one of the best known 59 Les Pauls on the planet, The Beast! These pickups have since appeared in some of Bernie’s guitars including his Goldtop, some of his PRS models and more recently his mindblowing Nik Huber signature!
Bernie says-
“So, if you are a fan of the guitar sound on my classic Whitesnake solos and rhythm tracks, and the guitar I wrote ‘Here I Go Again’ with, check out these Super Scanner Series. If you want to upgrade your guitar once and for all with genuine vintage sound pickups, Cream T and their Super Scanner Series is the way to go. Ask Billy F Gibbons if you don’t believe me!”
