PRS SE Chleo Herman Li Signature Electric Guitar – Mantis Burst | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The PRS SE Chleo is DragonForce guitarist Herman Li's fully equipped, more approachable take on his limited-edition signature axe — a high-performance shred machine built for players who demand elite speed, versatility, and stage presence without compromise. A thin, highly contoured mahogany body with figured maple top, a carbon-fiber-reinforced bolt-on maple neck with the fast Chleo profile, a 24-fret ebony fingerboard with a flat 20" radius and large cutaway scoop, Herman Li's custom Fishman Fluence Omniforce HSH pickup array, a Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo with PRS locking nut, and stunning Eclipse Dragon fingerboard inlays in Black Smoke-finished hardware combine to produce one of the most comprehensively specified signature guitars in the SE lineup. In Mantis Burst with a satin poly finish at 6.76 lbs., the SE Chleo is built to command any stage — and any audience.

Product Overview

The SE Chleo's body is purpose-designed for performance comfort during intense, physically demanding playing. A thin, highly contoured mahogany body with figured maple top keeps the instrument lightweight and ergonomically shaped for long sets, while the large cutaway scoop provides unobstructed access to the upper register of the ebony fingerboard — a design detail that makes a measurable difference for players who regularly work in the highest fret positions. The satin poly finish in Mantis Burst gives the guitar a tactile, non-reflective feel under the hands that suits aggressive playing styles while showcasing the figured maple top's natural character beneath a visually striking colorway. Black Smoke hardware throughout — Floyd Rose bridge, PRS locking nut, PRS-designed tuners — gives the Chleo a dark, aggressive aesthetic that matches its performance personality.

The bolt-on maple neck is reinforced with carbon fiber strength rods for exceptional rigidity and long-term stability — a construction detail that resists neck flex and warping under the string tension changes that frequent Floyd Rose use and alternate tuning demands. The thin Chleo profile is designed specifically for Herman Li's playing style — fast, slim, and optimized for high-speed technical playing while remaining comfortable enough for the chord work and rhythm passages that complete a full performance. The 20" radius ebony fingerboard is essentially flat — a specification that virtually eliminates fret-out during aggressive bending anywhere on the neck and makes high-speed scalar runs and legato passages feel frictionless across all 24 frets.

The Fishman Fluence Omniforce HSH pickup array is the electronics centerpiece — three Herman Li signature pickups developed specifically for his demanding tonal requirements. The Omniforce humbuckers at the bridge and neck use Fishman's active Fluence technology to deliver soaring, high-gain saturation at full output and crystalline, articulate clean tones through the push-pull switching system's multiple voice options — all without the hum, noise, and battery-related issues that traditional active pickup systems introduce. The middle Omniforce single-coil adds a third distinct tonal voice to the array. A 5-way blade switch combined with push-pull Volume and Tone controls unlocks a comprehensive range of pickup combinations and coil-split voices, covering everything from glassy single-coil clarity to full, aggressive humbucking output across the complete pickup selector range.

The Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo is a full-floating tremolo system capable of both dive bombs and pull-ups with the expressive range and reliable return to pitch that demanding performers require, and the PRS locking nut at 18:1 ratio PRS-designed tuners keep the system in tune through the most intense tremolo use.

Ideal For

• Metal, progressive rock, and shred guitarists who want Herman Li's signature performance platform in an accessible, fully equipped SE format
• Floyd Rose users who need a full-floating tremolo system with locking nut and precise tuning stability for pitch-bending expression without sacrificing intonation
• High-gain players who want the multi-voice tonal flexibility of Fishman Fluence active pickups in an HSH configuration with coil-splitting capability
• Technically demanding players who need a flat 20" radius ebony fingerboard, thin neck profile, and large cutaway scoop for effortless upper-register access and high-speed technique
• DragonForce fans and Herman Li enthusiasts in Idaho Falls looking for his signature guitar in the most complete and accessible SE build yet

Key Features

Carbon-Fiber-Reinforced Bolt-On Maple Neck with Chleo Profile Dual carbon fiber strength rods running through the bolt-on maple neck provide exceptional rigidity and long-term resistance to warping under the string tension changes that Floyd Rose use and aggressive playing demand. The thin Chleo profile is optimized for high-speed technical playing — fast, slim, and purpose-built for Herman Li's playing style.

Fishman Fluence Omniforce HSH Pickup Array Three Herman Li Signature Fishman Fluence Omniforce pickups — bridge humbucker, middle single-coil, neck humbucker — use active Fluence technology to deliver soaring saturation and crystalline cleans across multiple voices accessed through push-pull controls, without the hum, noise, or battery drain of conventional active pickup designs.

24-Fret Ebony Fingerboard with 20" Radius and Large Cutaway Scoop The virtually flat 20" fingerboard radius eliminates fret-out during aggressive bending anywhere on the neck, while the 24-fret range and large cutaway body scoop provide unobstructed access to the highest positions — a combination of specifications purpose-built for demanding shred technique.

Floyd Rose 1000 Series Tremolo with PRS Locking Nut The Floyd Rose 1000 Series full-floating tremolo system handles dive bombs, pull-ups, and extreme pitch expression with reliable return to pitch, while the PRS locking nut and 18:1 ratio PRS-designed tuners maintain tuning stability through the most intense performance applications.

5-Way Blade Switch with Push-Pull Volume and Tone Controls The 5-way blade switch combined with push-pull coil-splitting on both the Volume and Tone controls unlocks a comprehensive range of pickup combinations and voice options — covering glassy single-coil clarity through full aggressive humbucking output with multiple intermediate voices available between.

Eclipse Dragon Fingerboard Inlays with Black Smoke Hardware Herman Li's custom Eclipse Dragon fingerboard inlays and Black Smoke-finished hardware give the SE Chleo a signature visual identity that is unmistakably aggressive and stage-ready — aesthetic details that reflect Herman Li's personal brand and performance personality as clearly as the guitar's technical specifications.
