Product Description
Out of PRS’ revered Wood Library comes this exquisite piece of guitar craftsmanship: a 10-Top Special Semi-Hollow with a Swamp Ash, Flamed Maple, and Ziricote construction.
This instrument is a true spectacle in every sense. Dream-like playability, unbelievably resonant & versatile tones courtesy of its HSH pickup configuration, and – naturally – a striking Flamed Maple top & finish that’ll make a hypnotic addition to any guitar collection.
PRS Wood Library 10-Top
The PRS Wood Library is PRS’s collection of their most prized tonewoods, hand-selected and reserved for their most ambitious builds. Each piece of timber is noted not only for its beautiful grain, but also for its density, resonance, and symmetry.
Better still, this particular example boasts a Flamed Maple ’10-Top’ – a body top with a bold, consistent grain without a single blemish or imperfection. These tops are truly a sight to behold – you won’t be able to take your eyes off it!
Premium Construction
As its name suggests, this incredible PRS model's most noteworthy element its its luxurious semi-hollow body. Producing a vibrant and highly-resonant sound even when unplugged, the Special Semi-Hollow truly blossoms when played through an amplifier — both airy and rich in sustain.
This Special Semi-Hollow's Swamp Ash back delivers a sweet sound with a slightly scooped midrange, the perfect accompaniment for its versatile HSH pickup config. This is complemented by the warm resonance of its semi-hollow construction, with the Flamed Maple top providing that extra clarity & attack that really brings out harmonic detail.
Flamed Maple "Pattern Thin" Neck
A departure from PRS’ tried-and-tested tonewood combinations, this instrument features a Flamed Maple neck, shaped to the brand's ‘Pattern Thin’ neck carve. Substantial in the fretting hand, this particular profile provides a familiar feel for traditionalists and offers great support at all areas of the neck.
This is topped with a 22-fret Ziricote fingerboard, providing a velvety touch and warm response reminiscent of Rosewood but with more striking figuring in the grain.
Stunning HSH Tones
In terms of versatility, an H/S/H pickup configuration is difficult to beat. That's why the Special Semi-Hollow is arguably one of PRS' most sonically diverse instruments, featuring a pair of 58/15 LT humbuckers and a desirable Narrowfield pickup in the middle position.
The 58/15s are acclaimed for delivering that classic medium-output PAF-style sound, but with improved consistency and better balance across the frequency spectrum. The Narrowfield pickup emits the bite and clarity of a single-coil pickup but with added punch, which works brilliantly in conjunction with the two humbuckers.
High-Quality Hardware
In Paul Reed Smith’s own words: “Anything that touches the string is God.” Naturally, this Special Semi-Hollow is fitted with some of the most finely-machined appointments available. PRS' Phase III Locking Tuners make string changes fast and simple, with their locking design also improving tuning stability as less winds are required around their machine head posts.
At the other end of the instrument you'll find the Gen III Tremolo, indicative of the class-leading quality you'd expect from a PRS model. With a wonderfully-smooth vibrato action, this tremolo's high-mass design also ensures maximum string vibration transference through the guitar's body - giving you unparalleled levels of sustain.
