The PRS USA S2 Special Semi-Hollow in Faded Gray Black Blue Burst delivers a perfect marriage of classic semi-hollow warmth and modern tonal versatility. Crafted in the USA by Paul Reed Smith’s skilled artisans, this guitar offers stunning aesthetics alongside exceptional playability.

Featuring a lightweight semi-hollow mahogany body with a maple top, dual 85/15 “S” pickups, and a comfortable Pattern Thin neck, the S2 Special is built to inspire creativity at home, in the studio, or on stage.

The PRS S2 Special Semi-Hollow offers a versatile tonal platform that balances warmth, clarity, and resonance, thanks to its semi-hollow construction and innovative pickup configuration. Featuring a pair of 58/15 LT humbuckers in the bass and treble positions and a PRS Narrowfield in the middle, this guitar delivers a wide spectrum of tones—from articulate single-coil sparkle to full, vintage-inspired humbucking warmth. A 5-way blade switch and two mini-toggles allow players to tap the humbuckers, creating twelve distinct pickup combinations and ensuring endless sonic exploration.

Premium Semi-Hollow Body Construction

The PRS USA S2 Special Semi-Hollow features a double-cutaway mahogany body with a carved maple top and f-hole chambering. This unique construction produces a resonant, airy tone that balances warmth with articulation, making it suitable for jazz, blues, rock, and beyond.

Comfortable and Fast Neck

Equipped with a Pattern Thin maple neck and a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard, this guitar offers smooth, effortless playability. The 10" radius and medium jumbo frets provide the ideal platform for bending strings, chording, and fast runs.

Versatile Electronics

Dual 85/15 “S” pickups deliver rich, dynamic tones, from bell-like cleans to punchy overdriven sounds. The push-pull coil-split on the volume knob offers single-coil clarity at the twist of a hand, while the 3-way blade switch and master tone control give you complete tonal flexibility.

High-Quality Hardware & Finish

Hardware includes a PRS-designed wraparound stoptail bridge for enhanced sustain and tuning stability, along with PRS Phase III locking tuners for quick string changes. The Faded Gray Black Blue Burst finish highlights the beautifully figured maple top and gives the guitar a vintage-inspired look with a modern twist.

Detailed Overview

Design and Construction

The S2 Special Semi-Hollow features a chambered mahogany back with a carved maple top, yielding a rich, woody resonance that’s uniquely PRS. Two classic f-holes not only add visual flair but also enhance acoustic bloom and sustain. The one-piece maple neck with a pattern-regular carve ensures comfortable fretting up and down the 22-fret rosewood fingerboard.

Electronics and Pickup Configuration

Equipped with dual PRS S2 humbuckers, this guitar offers warm, articulate cleans and biting overdriven tones. A three-way blade switch provides straightforward pickup selection, while a push-pull tone knob enables coil-splitting for bright single-coil flavors. Whether you need creamy jazz chords or searing rock leads, the S2 Special Semi-Hollow delivers.

Playability and Hardware

The 25" scale length and 10" fretboard radius strike the perfect balance between string tension and bending comfort. PRS locking tuners and a molded stoptail bridge ensure rock-solid tuning stability and consistent intonation. Every element—from the medium-jumbo frets to the ergonomic heel contour—enhances your playing experience.

Finish and Aesthetics

The Faded Gray Black Blue Burst finish transitions smoothly from icy gray to deep blue and jet black, accentuating the figured maple grain. A light gloss coat highlights the top’s carving without dampening resonance. Subtle abalone inlays and brushed nickel hardware complete the refined, contemporary look.
