The Paul Reed Smith Special Semi-Hollow is one of favorite all-time models from PRS. The Gold Top finish is classic-looking, and never gets old. The mahogany back with "faux" maple binding edge, makes for a perfect modern/classic mix. This one weighs in at 6.9 lbs. Nice and light, and extremely well balanced. The Pattern neck contour is very comfortable in the hand, without feeling too thin. The tonal options are plentiful with the diverse pickup configuration, 5-way switch, and separate toggles for coil tapping.
The Gold Top finish is now discontinued - but we'd ordered this prior to this change within the PRS catalog.Ā
The PRS Special Semi-Hollow offers players a versatile hum/āsingleā/hum configuration with two PRS 58/15 LT humbuckers and a PRS Narrowfield middle pickup. PRS Narrowfield pickups deliver the bite of a single coil, so they cut through the mix with plenty of clarity and punch ā without the hum. Paired with a 5-way blade switch and two mini-toggles that split the 58/15 LT humbuckers, this guitar can handle myriad sounds and styles (with twelve pickup combinations in total). Roll back the tone control for added growl, turn it up for some shimmer, and have fun exploring this versatile tonal palette.
Additional specifications include a maple top, mahogany back, 22-fret 25ā scale length mahogany neck, rosewood fretboard, Phase III locking tuners, and the PRS Gen III patented tremolo system. The volume levels between the humbucking and single-coil settings remain very even, and the semi-hollow body with single f-hole provides a welcome airiness and depth to the guitarās tone.
