An S2 with a "Special" Spirit: PRS Versatility with Semi-Hollow Resonance
The S2 Special Semi-Hollow follows a typically PRS approach: offering a USA-made guitar with meticulous finish and geared towards versatility. Its identity comes from its uncommon pickup configuration (humbuckers + central Narrowfield) combined with a semi-hollow body, giving it a character that is refined, lively, and particularly adaptable both in the studio and on stage.
For Whom and in Which Styles?
This PRS is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want a single guitar capable of covering multiple styles without compromise: precise rhythms, airy arpeggios, singing leads, and edgier textures. Its palette covers blues, rock, pop, funk, and more alternative sounds very well, with quick access to variations thanks to the split and 5-way selector.
The Sound
The combination of a carved maple top and mahogany back balances attack and warmth: maple adds clarity and definition, while mahogany enhances the mids and the sense of density. The semi-hollow format adds natural resonance and an "acoustic" feel to the playing, while maintaining solid sustain. Regarding pickups, the 58/15 LT deliver an expressive, rich, and nuanced humbucker tone, while the central Narrowfield provides precise articulation, useful for tighter sounds and very musical intermediate positions. With the splits, the guitar shifts from a broad vintage register to brighter, more sculpted textures, all while remaining consistent in volume and dynamics.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
The guitar comes factory-strung with 10-46 strings: you can therefore plan to use an electric string set in 10-46 to maintain the factory feel and tension balance. It is delivered with a Premium Gig Bag, ideal for daily transport and protection.
