Weight: 6.67 lbs.
Built on the acclaimed semi-hollow design, this Limited Edition pairs a
figured mango top with a rich ziricote fretboard, adding organic warmth and
striking depth to the Special Semi-Hollow’s aesthetic while preserving the
broad sonic range the model is known for. Only 200 total Special Semi-Hollow Mango Limited Editions will be available in 2026.
The Core Special Semi-Hollow offers players expansive tone with its
three-pickup configuration – two PRS humbuckers flanking a PRS
Narrowfield middle pickup – and a 5-way blade switch paired with dual
mini-toggle coil-tap switches. This setup provides a total of twelve total
pickup combinations from articulate single-coil clarity to full, warm
humbucking tones.
Its semi-hollow body with a single f-hole adds natural airiness and
resonance to the sound, giving the Special Semi-Hollow a distinct balance
of warmth, depth, and responsiveness. The figured mango top brings an
even more distinctive visual character to the Special’s already striking look.
Built with a mahogany back and neck, 22 frets, and a 25” scale length, the
platform delivers familiar PRS playability and feel. Anchored by PRS’s Gen III
patented tremolo and Phase III locking tuners with wing buttons, this
instrument offers expressive performance with exceptional tuning stability.
Whether you’re dialing in classic rhythm tones, shimmering lead voices, or
rich, full-bodied warmth, the Special Semi-Hollow Mango Limited Edition
provides versatility and musical expression in a beautifully appointed
instrument.
