PRS SE Fredrik Åkesson

PRS SE Fredrik Åkesson Overview

PRS is proud to welcome Fredrik +àkesson GÇô guitarist and backing vocalist for the landmark prog metal band Opeth GÇô to our family of SE signature artists. Veteran of the bands Talisman, Krux, and Arch Enemy, +àkesson has been described by Opeth's frontman Mikael +àkerfeldt (also an SE signature artist) as, "an old-school shredder." This background along with +àkesson's knowledge of theory and scales has allowed him to reinforce Opeth's trademark sound with fast riffs and virtuoso playing.

His signature model, the SE Fredrik +àkesson, features a single cutaway body with an extra-deep cutaway for better access to the upper frets, a maple top with quilted maple veneer and thick mahogany back, a 24.5" scale length, 22 fret wide fat mahogany neck with ebony fretboard and PRS bird inlays, and a TonePros adjustable stoptail bridge. The +àkesson also comes standard with a volume and tone control for each pickup and a 3-way toggle on the upper bout, but this traditional configuration is "inverted" with the treble controls in front of the bass controls to mirror +àkesson's preferred setup, which allows easy access to the bridge pickup controls.
