PRS Special Semi-Hollow Charcoal Cherry Burst Inc Hardcase

What PRS Have to Say:

The PRS Special Semi-Hollow offers players a versatile hum, single, 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 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 25" 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 guitar's tone.

Main Features:

• HSH Pickup Configuration
• Individual Coil Taps
• Phase III Locking Tuners
• 58/15 Low Turn Humbucker Pickups
• Single Narrowfield Centre Pickup

58/15 LT Pickups

The Special Semi-Hollow comes fitted with a pair of 58/15 LT ("low turn") pickups. These are vintage-inspired pickups with exceptional clarity. Designed to capture the sweetness of vintage single coils and the warmth of late 1950's humbuckers, these pickups are lively and open with focused midrange and balanced treble and bass.

Narrowfield Pickup now with TCI Technology

The Narrowfield pickup came about in 2008 when trying to design a single coil sounding pickup but with the warmth and hum cancelling of a humbucker. The resulting design contained the same general components of a regular humbucker, but in a smaller footprint. The narrower design captures the vibration of a more focused section of the guitar's strings, yielding a focused tone that is reminiscent of a powerful, full-sounding single coil.
