“We spent more than four years in research and development, working closely with Herman to get everything exactly right”: PRS activates total shred mode for the launch of Herman Li’s feature-packed Chleo signature electric

PRS Herman Li Chloe: the new shred-ready signature model for the DragonForce guitarist comes in two finishes and features an all-new body design.

Paul Reed Smith has unveiled a limited edition – as in, they’re just making 200 of them – signature guitar for DragonForce’s Herman Li and it is a PRS electric as you have never seen it before.

It’s called the Chleo. It has an all-new body shape, with deeper carves on the body to aid upper-fret access – i.e. where the shred money is – and it has a pair of Li’s signature Fishman electric guitar pickups at the neck and bridge, a Gotoh-designed double-locking vibrato for Floyd-esque histrionics.
