Crafted to commemorate four decades of innovation, craftsmanship, and iconic tone, the PRS 40th Anniversary Special Semi-Hollow is more than a milestone — it's a celebration of everything that has made Paul Reed Smith Guitars legendary. Drawing inspiration from the original PRS Special models of the early 2000s, this limited-edition semi-hollow beauty blends exquisite tonewoods, premium appointments, and modern playability. The Black Limba back and neck not only add visual flair but also offer a unique tonal character — warm and resonant with a touch of natural compression — while the Artist Grade figured maple top adds elegance and high-end clarity.

Designed with versatility at its core, the 40th Anniversary Special features a trio of PRS pickups: a McCarty III in the bridge and neck positions for full-bodied punch and vintage warmth, paired with a Narrowfield pickup in the middle position for tight single-coil-like articulation. Add in the dual mini-toggle coil-tap switches, and this guitar becomes a tone chameleon — capable of covering blues, rock, jazz, funk, fusion, and modern pop with ease. The semi-hollow construction offers a sweet, open resonance, with a slight acoustic character that makes clean tones shimmer and overdriven leads bloom with harmonic richness.

Playability and detail are front and center, from the Honduran rosewood fretboard with green abalone “Old School” bird inlays to the gloss nitro finish and proprietary PRS hardware. The Pattern neck carve is comfortable in hand, and the Gen III PRS tremolo allows for expressive vibrato with rock-solid tuning stability thanks to the Phase III locking tuners. Whether you're a tone collector, a studio player, or a stage performer looking for a showpiece instrument with unmatched sonic flexibility, the PRS 40th Anniversary Special Semi-Hollow is a fitting tribute to PRS’s legacy — and a bold step into its future. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this custom color beauty ships with molded hardshell case for convenient transport and premium protection.
