The PRS Special Semi-Hollow with Pattern Neck delivers the classic tones of a semi-hollow guitar packed with PRS's renowned versatility and premium build quality. Its diverse pickup configuration and coil-tapping options let you dial in everything from thick humbucker crunch to glassy single-coil tones, while the semi-hollow construction serves up the airy resonance and sustain that only a chambered body can provide. Whether you're a gigging guitarist seeking tonal flexibility or a discerning collector, this PRS has what it takes to impress.

Resonant Semi-Hollow Body With an Airy Personality

Where the Special Semi-Hollow truly distinguishes itself is in its construction with a semi-hollow body design featuring a single f-hole. This chambered mahogany body allows the guitar's all-maple top to resonate much more freely than a solid body, imbuing your playing with rich harmonics, complex overtones and outstanding sustain. Yet the single f-hole design still imparts plenty of midrange focus and low-end thump, preventing the tone from getting overly hollow or thin. You'll immediately notice the Special Semi-Hollow's airy personality that makes it so rewarding for genres like jazz, blues and rock.

Premium Tonewoods and Components Ensure Exceptional Tone

Beyond its innovative electronics, the Special Semi-Hollow delivers the premium tone and playability that have made PRS a favorite of discerning guitarists. The mahogany neck features the iconic Pattern profile that's become a hallmark of PRS guitars, providing a familiar feel that's easy to get comfortable with right away. The rosewood fingerboard and Gen III tremolo bridge transfer every nuance of your playing directly into the resonant body for exceptional touch sensitivity. With Phase III locking tuners and PRS's renowned craftsmanship, this semi-hollow is built to stand the test of time.

Explore a Universe of Tones With Coil-Tapping

At the core of the Special Semi-Hollow's impressive tonal palette is its pickup configuration combining two PRS 58/15 LT humbuckers with a PRS Narrowfield single-coil in the middle position. The 58/15 LT humbuckers serve up thick, punchy humbucker tones ideal for hard rock and metal riffs. Engage the coil-taps via push/pull tone knobs to split the humbuckers for Telecaster-like bite. The Narrowfield single-coil provides the crisp attack and glassy chime perfect for funk, blues or even chicken pickin'. With 12 distinct pickup combinations available via the 5-way blade switch, the tonal possibilities are virtually endless.

Smooth Playability With Premium Appointments

Rounding out the PRS Special Semi-Hollow are premium features that enhance its playability and performance. The mahogany neck sports PRS' signature Pattern profile—a comfortable, familiar shape that plays effortlessly night after night. The 22-fret rosewood fingerboard offers a smooth playing surface and classic aesthetic. And the Gen III patented tremolo bridge provides butter-smooth operation along with rock-solid tuning stability.
