PRS Guitars today announced a Sweetwater-exclusive Black Satin colorway of DragonForce guitarist Herman Li’s signature model: the SE Chleo. All other details on the guitar remain the same as the catalog PRS SE Chleo. The guitars are available now at this link, only through Sweetwater.

The release also lines up with the 20th anniversary of DragonForce’s “Inhuman Rampage” album, the record that birthed the Platinum-selling, global-phenomenon song “Through the Fire and Flames,” and spent 23 consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200. The SE Chleo’s Black Satin finish is a nod to that album’s artwork. A North American tour celebrating the anniversary will soon bring “the world’s fastest band” to 22 cities this November and December, with support from Ensiferum and Rhapsody of Fire.

“With the PRS SE Chleo, we set out to create the best affordable professional quality guitar unlike anything out there. It delivers a unique combination of effortless playability, outstanding craftsmanship, and versatile tonal range. It combines modern innovations with classic style, giving players the tools they need to create everything from classic tones to cutting edge new sounds. The SE Chleo was tour tested to withstand night after night of intense live shows, in any touring conditions.” said Herman Li.

The SE Chleo is the result of an intimate collaboration between PRS Guitars and Herman Li. Best known for his work as one of the lead guitar players in the power metal band DragonForce, Li is a demanding guitarist known for his fast and precise playing style. Based on the exclusive 2025 Chleo Limited Edition, this SE signature model is a unique guitar in the PRS lineup designed with the modern metal guitarist in mind. The SE Chleo boasts the same Fishman Fluence Signature Series Omniforce Herman Li pickups as the Limited Edition that preceded it. With three distinct voices and a versatile switching system, the guitar offers up to 13 unique tone combinations.
