by PRS
Scale 642 mm (25.28") Frets 20 frets Fingerboard Ebony fingerboard

by PRS
Scale 642 mm (25.28") Frets 20 frets Fingerboard Ebony fingerboard
Unique Designs Custom Features Alternative Styles
Key Feature:
The SE A60E Natural is a really thoughtful step up from a basic acoustic. The solid top and Zircote back give it a richer, more mature voice than you'd expect at this price point, and the Fishman pickup is genuinely excellent for performance.

  • • Solid Sitka top delivers balanced, articulate tone with surprising projection
  • • Zircote back and sides add warmth and complexity lacking in many entry-level guitars
  • • PRS Hybrid X bracing provides excellent resonance and sustain, surprisingly responsive
  • • Fishman Sonitone pickup system offers natural amplified tone, easily controllable
CONS
  • • Wide Fat neck profile isn't for everyone; might feel bulky to smaller hands
  • • Zircote can be prone to hairline cracking if humidity levels fluctuate drastically
  • • Scale length, while comfortable, limits low-end response for some playing styles

How This List Is Built

We don't play these instruments — we're a catalog, not a review desk, and we'd rather say so than pretend otherwise. This page covers 5 of 559 miscellaneous acoustic guitars from the Thomann catalogue, which is the largest single source of specification data in this category: 5 in detail, the rest listed with their specifications.

Position is computed, not curated. We parse the manufacturer's own description into actual values — nut width, scale, fret count, fingerboard radius, size, alloy — and rank on them: how many specifications a model has published, how many of them are measurable numbers, and how precisely it meets this page's criterion. A product image adds a little. Price is not a ranking signal: it tells you nothing about whether a neck fits your hand. The same inputs always produce the same order, so nothing here is shuffled to look fresh.

What this list is good for: narrowing a category down to a shortlist by spec and budget. What it isn't: a substitute for hearing an instrument. Before you buy, read hands-on reviews and, where you can, play it. Full methodology.
