PRS Special Semi-Hollow 10 Top Flame – Cobalt Smokeburst (2023 Model)

Description

Absolutely gorgeous 2023 PRS Special Semi-Hollow in “Cobalt Smokeburst”. We got lucky and PRS put a stunning 10 top flame on this one. Absolutely radiant and the guitar sounds amazing as well!

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. If you are asking yourself  “Why would PRS put any pickup in the middle of such a beautiful top?”, then you will have to remain confused with me.  Other acceptable things to try to wrap your head around are “Why they didn’t just make the neck pickup not upside down?”  Despite that we still feel like this guitar is an incredible playing and sounding guitar and it deserves to find its forever home.

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.
