The PRS SE Special Semi-Hollow blends classic semi-hollow warmth with modern versatility and rock-ready playability. Its semi-hollow body with an f-hole brings enhanced resonance, lively sustain, and a bit of acoustic airiness that makes chords and clean tones sing without adding unwanted noise or weight. The maple top and mahogany body balance brightness and warmth for a rich tonal foundation.
Playability is a highlight thanks to the Wide Thin maple neck and comfortable 25" scale, paired with a rosewood fingerboard that feels smooth underhand for both rhythm and lead work. The neck shape and 10" fretboard radius make bending and fast runs feel natural whether you’re comping jazz chords or ripping blues licks. Tonally, the trio of pickups — two 58/15 LT humbuckers plus a PRS Narrowfield DD middle pickup — offers a wide sonic palette. With a 5-way switch and coil-tap options, you can go from thick, creamy humbucker tones to crisp, articulate single-coil chime, making it a versatile choice for blues, rock, jazz, or fusion. The PRS-designed tuners and patented tremolo bridge contribute to reliable tuning stability and expressive playing.
Overall, the SE Special Semi-Hollow delivers professional feel and flexibility at its price point — a well-featured instrument that can adapt to many styles and settings, whether in the studio or on stage.
