2021 - Paul Reed Smith Eddie's Guitars Wood Library Special Semi Hollow Brazilian - Violet Blue Burst

The Paul Reed Smith Eddie’s Guitars Wood Library Special Semi-Hollow Brazilian in Violet Blue Burst is an inspiring fusion of elegance, tonal richness, and refined craftsmanship—an instrument created for players who demand artistry both visually and sonically. Its semi-hollow construction breathes an unmistakable airiness into every note, offering enhanced resonance and dynamic sensitivity while maintaining the clarity and punch PRS is known for. The Violet Blue Burst finish brings out the stunning depth of its Artist Grade Flame Maple top, shimmering with dimensional figure that shifts and dances under the light. Paired with a Swamp Ash back, the guitar achieves a perfect balance of brightness, warmth, and articulation.

A major highlight of this Wood Library creation is its neck: a stained torrefied maple shaft paired with a luxurious Brazilian rosewood fretboard. Not only does this combination provide exceptional stability and responsiveness, but it also elevates the playing experience with a smooth, rich feel under the fingers. The Pattern neck profile offers a familiar, comfortable carve designed for long sessions without fatigue. The fretboard is adorned with #4 Gold Mother of Pearl outline inlays with Paua centers—an exquisite detail that adds sophistication and a pop of iridescent color to the instrument’s aesthetic.

Tonally, this Special Semi-Hollow Brazilian is a powerhouse of versatility thanks to its innovative pickup configuration and control layout. Outfitted with McCarty III pickups in the treble and bass positions and an N/F pickup in the middle, the guitar delivers everything from bold humbucker drive to nuanced single-coil sparkle. The volume and push/pull tone controls, combined with a 5-way blade switch and two mini-toggle switches, unlock an expansive sonic palette—perfect for players who need both classic and modern voices at their fingertips. Whether you're chasing chimey cleans, thick midrange grunt, or expressive lead tones, this instrument offers an effortless path to all of them.

Premium hardware completes the build, including PRS Phase III locking tuners for rock-solid stability and the Gen III patented PRS tremolo system, ensuring smooth, expressive pitch control. Smoked black hardware ties the entire look together with a sleek, contemporary edge. From its world-class materials to its meticulous construction and expressive sound, the PRS Eddie’s Guitars Wood Library Special Semi-Hollow Brazilian in Violet Blue Burst stands as a remarkable instrument—beautiful, versatile, and built for a lifetime of inspired music.
