Paul Reed Smith PRS Special Semi Hollow 10 Top Dark Cherry Sunburst

The PRS Special Semi-Hollow 10-Top in Dark Cherry Sunburst is a versatile semi-hollow electric built for tonal variety and dynamic response. It pairs a figured maple top over a mahogany back with a 25" scale, 22-fret mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard, yielding a warm core tone with added top-end clarity and acoustic-like air from the single f-hole. Its pickup layout—two Paul Reed Smith McCarty III humbuckers (neck and bridge) with a PRS Narrowfield in the middle—plus a 5-way blade switch and two mini-toggles that tap each humbucker, provides twelve distinct pickup combinations. The McCarty III humbuckers are vintage-inspired designs voiced for vocal clarity and warm, full tone; the Narrowfield middle delivers single-coil bite and clarity without hum. Controls include master volume and tone with push/tap humbucker options, Phase III locking tuners with wing buttons, and the PRS Gen III patented tremolo for stable vibrato action.

This example weighs 7 lbs 2 oz and balances semi-hollow resonance with solid-body punch—rolling back tone yields thicker, grittier textures while full tone gives open shimmer and sustain. Hardware and setup choices support both studio and stage use: stable tuning from locking tuners, the Gen III tremolo for smooth operation, and a comfortable 25" scale neck suitable for both chordal playing and single-note runs.
