The PRS Chleo Limited Edition is about as rare and radical as a modern USA-made PRS gets. Created with DragonForce guitarist Herman Li and limited to just 200 instruments worldwide, the Chleo is not simply another signature variation on an existing PRS. The body, neck, joint, electronics and hardware were purpose-built for the model, making this one of the most distinctive limited-production guitars ever to leave Stevensville.
A figured maple top and mahogany back keep some classic PRS DNA intact, but the Chleo takes it somewhere completely different. The body is exceptionally thin and lightweight, paired with a one-piece maple neck, ebony fingerboard, ultra-flat 20" radius and a fast Chleo neck carve. PRS redesigned the neck joint for extreme upper-fret access and even scalloped frets 21–24, while the model-exclusive Eclipse Dragon inlays make sure nobody mistakes this for anything else.
Herman Li’s Fishman Fluence Signature Omniforce HSH pickups offer up to 13 tonal combinations, while the Gotoh GE1996T double-locking tremolo and PRS Custom Stabilizer combine fully floating performance with exceptional tuning stability. Add PRS Phase III locking tuners, gold hardware, satin nitro and a USB-rechargeable electronics system, and the result is one of the most technically ambitious guitars PRS has ever produced.
With only 200 USA Chleos made worldwide, these were scarce from day one and opportunities to find one are only going to get fewer. If a Chleo has been on your list, this may very well be your last chance to make your dream come true.
