Description

If you’re after a guitar that can do it all, the PRS Special Semi-Hollow is a serious contender. This beauty boasts a humbucker/single/humbucker setup with two PRS McCarty III humbuckers and a PRS Narrowfield pickup sitting in the middle, along with some clever switching that gives you a dozen inspiring sounds to play with.

Spec-wise, you’re looking at a Maple top, Mahogany back, 22-fret Mahogany neck with a Rosewood board, rock-solid PRS Phase III locking tuners and the super-smooth PRS Gen III tremolo. Classic PRS quality through and through!

A tonal powerhouse

The McCarty III humbuckers are the result of years of PRS R&D, blending vintage inspiration with modern precision. They deliver a warm, full tone with incredible clarity — perfect for everything from smooth cleans to roaring drive. The Narrowfield middle pickup adds that single-coil snap and bite but without the annoying hum, so you can cut through any mix with ease.

With a 5-way blade switch and two mini-toggles to coil-tap the humbuckers, you’ve got 12 different pickup combinations at your fingertips. Whether you want shimmering highs, growling lows or something in between, this guitar has you covered. Plus, the semi-hollow body with a single F-hole adds a lovely airy depth to your sound.

Key Features

High-gloss nitro finish: Not only does it look gorgeous, but this traditional finish lets the wood resonate freely for maximum tonal richness. Plus, it’ll age beautifully over time — like a fine vintage guitar.
PRS McCarty III & Narrowfield pickups: Explore a range of styles and sounds with twelve total pickup configurations.
PRS Patented Tremolo, Gen III: Meticulous design delivering sonic fidelity, player ergonomics and awesome tuning stability.

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.

Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

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.
