Some details from PRS website:
Herman Li is an award-winning guitarist, songwriter, producer, and content creator, best known for his work as one of the lead guitar players in the power metal band DragonForce. As a guitar player who is as dedicated to understanding his instrument as he is to continually refining his craft as a player, Li was a formidable partner in designing his signature PRS. The initial result of this collaboration is the PRS Chleo Limited Edition, named by Li after his children. Only 200 of this instrument will be made in 2025.
At first glance, the Chleo is a seemingly dramatic departure from classic PRS design, but its craftsmanship and quality are wholly PRS. Featuring PRS’s tried-and-true combination of a mahogany back and figured maple top with a maple neck, the Chleo’s body shape and neck have been specially engineered for this model. The body has been modified in several ways from PRS’s traditional profile. Most notably, it is remarkably thin, making it light enough for high-energy stage performances and comfortable for longer gigs. The neck shape and neck joint were specially designed to be comfortable and fast, and with glow-in-the-dark side dots you’ll never lose your place. The neck is very thin front-to-back with a slightly taller playing surface and 20” fretboard radius, and the neck joint has added surface area to promote build integrity and tonal transfer. PRS’s trademark scoop has also been modified for ultimate access to the upper frets, and the last 4 frets are scalloped so you can dig into those notes with ease. If the Chleo wasn’t unmistakable already, its ebony fretboard features a unique “Eclipse Dragon” inlay pattern.
Li’s Signature Series Fishman Fluence pickups are at the heart of the PRS Chleo. These copper-free pickups use layered PCBs for consistent, noise-free performance. With three distinct voices and a versatile switching system, the guitar offers up to 13 unique tone combinations.
From fat, aggressive rhythm tones to smooth, warm leads, soaring screams, and crystal-clear single-coil sounds, these pickups cover it all. The performance-friendly control layout makes it easy to switch between tones on the fly. Whether you’re using high-gain tube amps, solid-state rigs, modern amp modelers, or DAW plugins, the Chleo’s pickups are built to shine across any setup.
Adding to the innovation is a Gotoh locking tremolo system, enhanced with the new PRS Custom Stabilizer. It delivers the expressive freedom of a fully floating tremolo, while offering the tuning stability players love from fixed bridges, delivering confidence and control in any situation.

Tap into 13 thunder-crying tones
Armed in HSH formation, the Chleo employs Herman’s personalized Fishman Fluence Omniforce pickups for conjuring an incredible 13 different battle cries of varying intensities. Engineered with a copper-free, layered PCB design and backed by a USB-rechargeable lithium-ion battery, these active and multi-voiced pickups enable complex tonal combinations with utterly noiseless operability. They’re also designed to sound flawless in conjunction with just about any amplifier, including high-gain tube amps, solid-state systems, and virtual modelers. A 5-way pickup selector with a coil-tapping push/pull function at the Volume knob and second voicing accessibility at the push/pull-capable Tone knob enable sonic sculpting to the highest degree.
With the push-pull function of the Volume knob deactivated (down), your range of tonal options are as follows:
- Position 1: bridge humbucker only (with second voicing available)
- Position 2: interior coil-tapped bridge humbucker plus middle single-coil
- Position 3: middle single-coil only
- Position 4: middle single-coil plus interior coil-tapped neck humbucker
- Position 5: neck humbucker only (with second voicing available)
With the push-pull function of the Volume knob activated (up), your range of tonal options are as follows:
- Position 1: interior coil-tapped bridge humbucker only
- Position 2: interior coil-tapped bridge humbucker plus interior coil-tapped neck humbucker
- Position 3: bridge humbucker plus neck humbucker (with second voicing available)
- Position 4: exterior coil-tapped bridge humbucker plus exterior coil-tapped neck humbucker
- Position 5: exterior coil-tapped neck humbucker only
Additionally, the Chleo features a pair of mini switches built into the backplate. The upper of the two is a Voice Inversion switch, which defaults the entire switching system to your choice of either the second or first voicing by sliding the switch up or down. The lower of the two is a Tone Bypass switch, which deactivates the push/pull function of the Tone control when in the up position and keeps it active when down. From screamingly aggressive lead tones to crystalline single-coil precision and everywhere in between, the Chleo Limited-edition promises to deliver in spades.
I am happy to include delivery as part of the price for UK - for other countries will need to have a separate chat ...
