PRS S2 Special Semi-Hollow Reclaimed Limited Edition Electric Guitar, Natural

What's old is new with the PRS S2 Special Semi-Hollow Reclaimed Limited Edition! This distinct piece from PRS embodies a fresh take on the classic S2 Special Semi-Hollow by utilizing upcycled woods from parts of South and Central America. The guitar in question, truly unique in just about every capacity, is a one-of-a-kind view on the classic PRS model and the real-time story of the tonewoods used to build it.

This limited piece from PRS is part of a release of only seven hundred guitars worldwide and is a masterful example of reinvention in motion. The whole endeavor is propelled by a unique assortment of woods used to bring the model to life. Starting out, this PRS's semi-hollow, double-cutaway body is brought together from a classic PRS mahogany back with a Peroba Rosa top. The guitar's Peroba Rosa top, commonly used in Brazilian siding, lands somewhere between one hundred and one hundred and fifty years old and carries with it an unimaginably rich legacy and history as translated through its tonal makeup and harmonic complexity.

From here, this limited model welcomes a Cuban mahogany neck. The necks for each of these seven hundred models were made from wood purchased from Puerto Rico, with some of the original lumber had been salvaged from trees blown over from Hurricane Maria in 2017. A PRS Pattern Regular profile shapes the Cuban mahogany in a shape surely familiar to existing PRS fans. Along with this neck, this model welcomes a fingerboard of Guaribu Preto, another wood sourced from Brazil – this one used also in housing for support beams for houses. Twenty-two frets and classic PRS Birds inlays line the rich fingerboard wood as it measures with a comfortable and speedy ten-inch radius.

Onboard, PRS took the liberty of including a robust, proprietary PRS electronics setup. Two 58/15 LT "Low Turn" humbucking pickups align with a Narrowfield humbucker in between them for a massive spectrum of sound. The setup's five-way pickup selector switch and two mini toggle coil-tap switches open the field even further as the guitar plays with up to twelve different pickup configurations. These intriguing tones are bolstered by the guitar's playability as held up by its hardware setup. A PRS patented tremolo bridge and Phase III locking tuners land at either end of the scale for swift tuning experiences and deep vibrato bends. This limited PRS Reclaimed model travels with an included premium gig bag.

Something to certainly not be left unmentioned, the PRS S2 Special Semi-Hollow Reclaimed puts the natural beauty of its woods on full display. Each guitar is left in its natural color, finished in satin nitrocellulose, and leaves any potential wear or discoloration in its top wood untouched as to showcase its real history.

As a true document of woods that carry with them generations of heritage and tone, the PRS S2 Special Semi-Hollow Reclaimed Limited Edition makes a spectacular example of fine PRS design and its unique wood picks. In the words of Michael Reid, Senior Wood Buyer at PRS, "It is impossible to fool a good guitar player. Everyone who has a guitar made from these woods sees them as a legitimate tool for serious players, not as a gimmick."
