The Paul Reed Smith Special Semi-Hollow in Yellow Tiger is a masterclass in refined tone, elegant design, and exceptional versatility. Designed to bridge the worlds of vintage warmth and modern flexibility, this guitar is built for players who demand dynamic responsiveness, premium tonewoods, and striking aesthetics in one impeccably crafted instrument.

At its core, the Special Semi-Hollow features a semi-hollow body with a single f-hole, blending the resonance and airiness of a hollowbody with the sustain and clarity of a solidbody. The violin-carved maple top, beautifully showcased in PRS’s vivid Yellow Tiger finish, sits atop a mahogany back, creating a balanced tonal foundation with a sweet midrange and smooth high-end response. This tonewood pairing gives the guitar a rich acoustic character that shines whether clean or overdriven.

The 25" scale length and 22 frets make for a familiar and comfortable playing experience. The one-piece mahogany neck is carved to PRS’s classic Pattern profile, offering a slightly thicker feel with a 7/8" depth at the nut, delivering substance and comfort ideal for rhythm and lead players alike. The rosewood fretboard with 10" radius is adorned with PRS’s iconic bird inlays, adding a signature visual element to an already elegant neck. With a 1 11/16" nut width and 2 1/4" width at the body, the neck offers a smooth transition up and down the fretboard, perfect for complex chord shapes and articulate lead runs.

What truly sets this guitar apart is its versatile electronics layout, anchored by a pair of TCI McCarty III humbuckers in the treble and bass positions, with a PRS Narrowfield® pickup in the middle. This unique pickup configuration delivers a stunning range of tones—from thick, vintage-voiced humbucker punch to glassy single-coil clarity. The 5-way blade switch allows you to explore an array of pickup combinations, while the two mini-toggle coil-split switches open up even more tonal territory, offering true single-coil tones without the hum. Whether you're exploring jazz, rock, blues, or ambient textures, this guitar has you covered.

The hardware is equally premium, featuring a PRS Patented Gen III Tremolo bridge for smooth, stable pitch modulation, paired with PRS Phase III locking tuners and nickel hardware for reliable tuning and a sleek, professional look. The set neck construction enhances sustain and resonance, while the PRS nut and double-acting truss rod ensure long-term reliability and precision neck adjustments.

Topped off with an inlaid signature logo on the headstock and a “Special” truss rod cover, the PRS Special Semi-Hollow in Yellow Tiger is a visually captivating and sonically flexible instrument. Whether you're a studio session player, a live performer, or a tone-chasing enthusiast, this guitar offers a unique blend of elegance, performance, and unmistakable PRS craftsmanship.
