MARTY FRIEDMAN Demonstrates New Signature Guitar From PAUL REED SMITH (Video)

January 29, 2014

Video footage of former MEGADETH guitarist Marty Friedman demonstrating his new SE signature-model guitar from Paul Reed Smith Guitars at this year's NAMM (National Association Of Music Merchants) show, which took place January 23-26 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California, can be seen below.

Paul Reed Smith Guitars has welcomed Marty Friedman — one of the most celebrated lead guitarists of thrash metal — to the PRS family of SE signature artists. Known worldwide for his groundbreaking work with MEGADETH and CACOPHONY, Friedman's career to date includes 27 gold and platinum records and 5 Grammy awards. His new SE signature model, a black singlecut with star inlays personally chosen by Friedman, is also a force to be reckoned with.

The SE Marty Friedman features a beveled maple top with mahogany back, a 25" scale length wide fat 22 fret mahogany neck with a rosewood fretboard and star inlays, PRS-designed SE locking tuners and PRS's adjustable stoptail bridge. SE humbucking treble and bass pickups with volume and tone for each pickup with a 3-way toggle switch on the upper bout gives players ultimate versatility and control.

"The PRS Marty Friedman signature model was developed over the course of recording 'Inferno' — my most 'guitar demanding' album yet. Its sound is all over that record. PRS has finally created my ultimate go-to guitar," said Friedman.

The introduction of the SE Marty Friedman comes months before the set release of Friedman's studio album "Inferno", which features what Friedman told Guitar World is "the most intense writing and playing I can do." Just as he changed the game of metal and guitar with his revered solo debut "Dragon's Kiss", Friedman's new SE signature model will raise the bar for a new generation of players.
