Signed by the artist himself, this PRS SE Bernie Marsden Signature Electric Guitar is an exceptional tribute to the late, great Whitesnake guitarist — allowing players to step into the shoes of a glam-metal giant. Equally fluent in expressive blues guitar and the enormous radio rock tones that made him famous, Bernie Marsden, who passed away in 2023, is best known for co-writing the 1982 mega-hit "Here I Go Again." In the early 2010’s, Marsden began working on a custom guitar designed to replicate the sound and feel of his beloved ’59 Les Paul that he had nicknamed “The Beast” — but at a much more affordable price point for working class guitarists, such as the musicians who Marsden had come up with in 1970’s Buckingham, England. So Marsden joined forces with PRS, crafting a signature guitar that captures his tone, feel and aesthetic. Featuring a mahogany body with flame maple veneer top, rosewood fretboard with bird inlays, and a shorter 24.5″ scale length for that vintage singlecut feel, this PRS exudes the craftsmanship and confidence worthy of Marsden’s name.

That legacy is amplified in this particular instrument, which boasts a signed backplate by Marsden himself — making it a standout piece for collectors and players alike. Designed for expressive blues, classic rock, and textured rhythm work, the SE Bernie Marsden delivers warm, singing sustain from the mahogany/maple construction, while its dual Korean-made SE245 humbuckers serve up clarity, punch and the kind of fluid lead response that modern playing demands. Whether you’re recording in the studio, exploring vintage?inspired riffs, or playing live sets where tone and character matter, this guitar offers a singular voice tied to one of British rock's most influential guitarists — and in this signed edition, a direct connection to the man himself. Available only at Haggerty’s Music, where quality instruments meet attentive, knowledgable customer service.
