The PRS SE Special Semi-Hollow in Charcoal Burst is a remarkably versatile electric guitar that blends semi-hollow warmth, modern playability, and wide-ranging tonal flexibility into one beautifully refined instrument. Built by PRS Guitars, it’s designed for players who want one guitar that can truly cover everything.
Finished in a striking Charcoal Burst over a figured maple veneer, this guitar delivers depth, contrast, and boutique-level visual appeal. The smoky burst highlights the maple figuring while the single f-hole adds a touch of classic elegance, creating a look that feels both modern and timeless.
Its semi-hollow maple-topped mahogany body enhances resonance and sustain, giving every note added warmth and airiness. The Wide Thin maple neck and rosewood fingerboard offer a fast, comfortable feel that makes long sessions effortless.
At the core of this model is its unique humbucker–single–humbucker pickup layout, featuring dual 58/15 LT “S” pickups with a Narrowfield DD “S” in the middle. Paired with a 5-way blade and dual coil-tap switches, it delivers everything from rich humbucker depth to crisp single-coil sparkle and inspiring blended tones in between.
With PRS-designed tuners, a patented tremolo bridge, and reliable hardware, this SE is built for both stage and studio. From jazz and blues to rock, worship, and ambient styles, it adapts instantly to your playing.
If you’re looking for a premium semi-hollow guitar with standout looks, exceptional versatility, and real PRS craftsmanship, the SE Special Semi-Hollow is hard to beat.
Warm, expressive, and endlessly useful — this is a true modern workhorse.
