The PRS Special Semi Hollow is a guitar tone chameleon thats dripping with pure charisma. Classic PRS humbucking tone comes from its coil-splittable 58/15 LT pickups set in the bridge and neck positions. Combined with the noiseless single-coil sound of an exclusive PRS Narrowfield pickup youve got 12 distinct configurations to play with ensuring a world-class sound for any situation. Featuring a carved figured maple top with a striking single f-hole design this PRS Specials semi-hollow construction doesnt just look the part. The resonant space in its mahogany body adds a depth of character to its sound while the feedback issues that plague fully hollow designs are controlled. With top-of-the-range PRS hardware and a hard case included as standard the PRS Special Semi-hollow truly lives up to its name.
Special guitar extra-special pickups The pickup options on the PRS Special Semi-hollow are second to none. Its three pickup setup alone is enough to offer an incredible range of rich singing tones. But the versatile switching options and carefully selected pickup models create a sonic palette thats both varied and vibrant. The neck and bridge positions are filled by a pair of 58/15 LT (Low Turn) humbuckers. With fewer turns on each pole piece they offer a more measured output delivering startling clarity even through screaming distortion. Each humbucker has its own dedicated coil-tap mini-switch putting true spiky single-coil sweetness right at your fingertips. The star of the show however is undoubtedly the PRS Narrowfield in the middle position. Its low-output humbucker design only reproduces sound from a tiny area of each string bringing all the warmth and personality of a single-coil pickup but without the hum and interference issues theyre known for. Using the 5-way blade to blend this with the 58/15s creates a total of 12 exemplary tones each with its own unmistakable individuality. Signature semi-hollow sonics Semi-hollow bodies – an ideal middle ground. Have you always loved the traditional look and full sound of hollow body guitars? Have you been put off by the way they feed back at higher gain settings even at low volume? Featuring an internal solid wooden block in the centre of the body a semi-hollow guitar like the PRS Special Semi-hollow could be what youve been searching for. The internal block gives the pickups a sturdier mounting point significantly reducing the sympathetic vibrations that can cause uncontrollable and undesirable feedback in fully hollow models. It also simply takes up space within the guitar leaving less air to transmit vibrations around inside the body. The result is a pleasing compromise – a broader more natural guitar sound thats still usable with the gain and volume cranked. Attention to every detail Its what PRSs Core range is known for. No stone left unturned no feature anything less than world-class. From the industry-leading Phase III locking tuners to the ever-reliable and perfectly poised Gen III tremolo bridge the Special Semi-hollow comes locked and loaded with the best PRS has to offer. The staple PRS mahogany body is matched with a carved pattern mahogany neck thats been designed with comfort and playability specifically in mind. Its topped with a warm and elegant rosewood fingerboard complete with those signature PRS bird inlays. The beautifully figured maple top also features an ergonomic and eye-catching violin carve shape for hour upon hour of fun fatigue-free rehearsal and performance.
