The PRS SE Special Semi-Hollow is the ultimate do-it-all workhorse electric guitar — perfectly designed for performing and recording guitarists who need to cover a lot of ground! Adorned in the classic double-cut PRS styling with a single F-hole, this flexible semi-hollow guitar covers lots of sonic territory via its ultra-versatile H/“S”/H pickup configuration. With its 5-way pickup selector and duo of coil-splitting mini-toggle switches, a total of 12 different pickup combinations can be achieved.

Featuring a duo of PRS 58/15 S humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions in combination with a powerful single-coil voiced Narrowfield DD S pickup in the middle, the SE Special offers vintage-inspired tones that can cover everything from rock and metal to jazz. The natural resonance of the semi-hollow body is perfectly complemented by the vintage overtones and articulation of the PRS pickups.

More info about this Product

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Semi-Hollow Electric Guitars

Semi-hollow electric guitars combine elements of solid and hollow body designs, offering warmth and resonance alongside improved sustain and feedback control. Typically built with a centre block running through the body, they deliver an open, airy character while remaining stable at higher volumes. This balance makes them well suited to a wide range of styles, from jazz and blues to indie, rock, and alternative music. Semi-hollow guitars respond well to dynamics and touch, providing a versatile, expressive option for players who want depth without sacrificing control.

Burst

A burst finish refers to a guitar finish where the colour gradually fades from a darker outer edge to a lighter centre. This technique highlights the natural grain of the wood while giving the instrument depth and visual character, making each guitar look slightly different.

Common on both electric and acoustic guitars, burst finishes range from classic sunburst styles to modern colour variations. They are popular because they combine a traditional look with a visually striking appearance that complements the shape and craftsmanship of the guitar.

Electric Guitar

Semi-Hollow

Semi-hollow guitars blend the warmth and resonance of a hollow body with the feedback control and sustain of a solid body. Featuring a solid centre block running through the body, they deliver rich, open tones with added bite — perfect for blues, jazz, rock, and soul. From smooth cleans to gritty overdrive, semi-hollows like the ES-335 have become timeless favourites for players who want depth, character, and versatility in one beautifully balanced instrument.
