PRS Special SH Fire Smokeburst

Essential Information About the PRS Special Semi-Hollow Fire Smokeburst Guitar

• Extreme versatility: HSH configuration (humbucker/single coil/humbucker) with 12 pickup combinations to cover everything from crystal-clear cleans to thick drive.


• Noise-free clarity: the central PRS Narrowfield pickup delivers the bite of a single coil, with very clear definition in the mix.


• Resonance and depth: semi-hollow body with F-hole for a more airy character, while retaining the attack of a solid body.


• Premium stability: PRS Gen III vibrato and PRS Phase III locking tuners with "Wing" buttons for a more musical response and optimized sustain.

A Special Semi-Hollow Designed to Explore the Full PRS Palette

The PRS Special Semi-Hollow stands as a "Swiss Army knife" model within the PRS Core USA universe: a high-end platform designed to switch between registers without compromise. With its combination of two 58/15 LT pickups and a Narrowfield in the middle, it targets both harmonic richness and precision, while benefiting from the added dimension brought by the semi-hollow construction and its F-hole.

For Which Guitarists and Styles

This guitar is aimed at intermediate to expert musicians who want an electric guitar capable of handling a full set with a single instrument. Ideal for pop, rock, funk, blues, but also in more modern contexts where tight rhythms alternate with singing leads. The humbucker splits and 5-position selector facilitate changes in tonal character without complex pedal setups, while maintaining a consistent output level across modes.

The Sound

The PRS 58/15 LT duo delivers an expressive, balanced humbucker rich in harmonics, with a grain ideal for nuanced playing and saturations that remain clear. In the middle, the Narrowfield adds a sharper attack and single-coil clarity, while avoiding hum. The 5-position selector and two mini-switches for coil splitting open up a wide palette: full and dense sounds, more "scooped" intermediate positions, and finer textures for chicken picking or arpeggios. The semi-hollow construction brings a more "alive" feel: a fuller low-midrange, more airy projection, and appreciable depth in both clean and crunch settings.
