The Chleo is PRS's Herman Li signature model, offered first as a limited Core run and then as the SE version that dealers still stock.
Watch
Why it matters
The Core edition was capped at 200 instruments, which put it out of reach for most players, and the SE version followed to cover the demand. Sweetwater lists the SE Chleo at $1,999, placing it in the upper half of the PRS import range. Both versions use the same outline, so production location and hardware are the meaningful differences.
Note
Herman Li (DragonForce) signature with scalloped? — speed neck and Floyd Rose; Private-Stock-flavored Core run limited to 200, plus SE version later in 2025.

Before you buy
- The Core run is closed and now a collector market
- SE guitars are the ones still available new
- Signature resale follows the artist's profile rather than the specification
