Unleash the Dragon: The PRS Chleo Is Here 🔥

Herman Li is one of the most fearless, technically brilliant players on the planet—and now, he’s finally got a guitar to match. Meet the PRS Chleo Limited Edition: a boundary-breaking signature model built for maximum speed, tone, and expression. Designed in close collaboration with the DragonForce shred legend himself, this instrument is a complete rethinking of what a PRS can be.

And guess what? We’ve got it right here at Detroit Guitar.
Only 200 are being made worldwide—and once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Built to Fly—Literally

The Chleo doesn’t just look fast—it is fast. From the sleek, sculpted mahogany body (thinner and lighter than anything PRS has done before) to the extra-deep cutaways and newly engineered neck joint, this thing was made for high-velocity playing and marathon gigs.

It’s got a 25.5" scale 3-piece maple neck with carbon fiber reinforcement, a silky 20” ebony fingerboard, and jumbo stainless-steel frets—plus scalloping on frets 21–24 so you can really dig in during solos. And yes, the glow-in-the-dark side dots are as cool (and useful) as they sound.

And those inlays? Not PRS birds this time. We're talking full-on Eclipse Dragons—custom-designed just for Herman’s signature axe.

Let’s Talk Tone: Fishman Fluence Omniforce

Herman didn’t want “good tone.” He wanted everything. Clean, clear single-coils? Check. Smooth modern leads? Got ‘em. Chunky, mid-forward rhythm sounds that don’t get lost in a dense mix? Absolutely.

The custom HSH Fishman Fluence Omniforce pickups deliver up to 13 different voicing options, with:

• Push/pull controls for humbucker voice switching,
• A 5-way blade for all your pickup combos,
• Backplate mini-switches to bypass tone or invert default voicings,
• And a USB-C rechargeable battery that lasts for weeks.

No 9V batteries. No noise. Just killer tone, on demand.

Hardware You Can Trust

Whether you’re dive-bombing or fluttering, the Gotoh GE1996T double-locking tremolo with PRS’s new Custom Stabilizer gives you floating-bridge freedom without sacrificing tuning stability. Locking tuners, perfectly balanced tension, and ultra-clean cable routing keep everything right where you need it—even mid-solo.

The finish? A stunning satin nitro Orchid Dusk that pops under stage lights and looks just as wild up close. And it ships in a rock-solid PRS ATA molded flight case.

Fast Recap (a.k.a. “Why You Want One”)

• Ultra-thin, carved mahogany body + flame maple top = comfort + tone
• Thin “Chleo” neck with 20" radius and scalloped upper frets
• Eclipse Dragon inlays, glow-in-the-dark side dots, and premium gold hardware
• Custom Fishman Fluence Omniforce HSH pickups = 13 voice combos
• USB-C rechargeable system (no batteries!)
• Gotoh locking tremolo + PRS stabilizer = tuning confidence
• Satin nitro Orchid Dusk finish
• Limited to 200 worldwide

Final Verdict? This Guitar Shreds. Hard.

“The Chleo isn’t just a signature model—it’s a guitar built to inspire.”
– Herman Li

Whether you’re a DragonForce diehard, a high-gain tone chaser, or just someone who demands the absolute best in speed and flexibility, the PRS Chleo is in a league of its own.
