“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.”

– Michael Reid, PRS Guitars Senior Wood Buyer

This 700-piece limited edition showcases reclaimed and salvaged woods on

one of our most versatile models: the S2 Special Semi-Hollow. With each top

boasting its own character and left as natural as possible, every instrument

is rendered unique. That character paired with a wide spectrum of tones

– from articulate single-coil sparkle to full, vintage-inspired humbucking

warmth – results in a truly special instrument.

The woods featured on this model include a Peroba Rosa top, Cuban

mahogany neck, and Guaribu fretboard. Peroba Rosa, typically used as

siding in Brazil, was selected for the top wood. The density of this 100-150

year old wood combined with the semi-hollow body construction gives the

S2 Special Semi-Hollow Reclaimed Limited Edition a unique sound that is

punchy but also warm and full. The Cuban mahogany used for the necks

was purchased from Puerto Rico; some of this wood was salvaged from

trees blown down by Hurricane Maria in 2017. Finally, the Guaribu Preto

fretboards are sourced from Brazil, where this wood was historically used

as support beams for houses. These guitars are left Natural in color and

finished in satin nitro. Any nail holes, wear, or discoloration have been left in

the top wood to showcase its history.

“Wood is a crucial element to our guitar making heritage. Michael Reid, our

Senior Wood Buyer, has been my curly maple wood provider and buyer since

1980 - before PRS was officially PRS - and we still work together as partners

today. The deep relationships Michael has formed worldwide with our wood

suppliers are remarkable. Guitars like this are a great way to highlight some

of the interesting, personal stories from his travels and musical wood

understanding,” said Paul Reed Smith.

Beyond their unique wood appointments, these instruments maintain many

of the S2 Special Semi-Hollow’s standard specifications, including a 22-fret,

25” scale length Pattern Regular neck and hum/Narrowfield/hum pickup

configuration. A 5-way blade switch and two mini-toggles allow players

to tap the humbuckers, creating twelve distinct pickup combinations and

ensuring endless sonic exploration.

Only 700 S2 Special Semi-Hollow Reclaimed Limited Edition guitars will be

made in 2025.
