Paul Reed Smith PRS 40th Anniversary Special Semi-Hollow Limited Edition in Faded Whale Blue (Natural Back)

Description

Versatility, Elevated. Celebrate four decades of Paul Reed Smith innovation with a truly singular instrument: the 40th Anniversary Special Semi-Hollow Limited Edition. Limited to a tiny global run of just 280 pieces, this guitar marries PRS's modern engineering with a selection of tonewoods typically reserved for the highest echelons of guitar building. This is more than a commemorative model; it's a sonic chameleon. The three-pickup configuration—featuring the powerful McCarty III humbuckers in the treble and bass positions, paired with a proprietary PRS Narrowfield in the center—delivers an incredible tonal palette. Thanks to the 5-way blade switch and two mini-toggle coil-tap switches, players can access twelve distinct pickup combinations, ensuring you can dial in virtually any sound imaginable, from sparkling single-coil chime to thick humbucker growl. The tonewood combination is nothing short of exceptional: an Artist Grade Figured Maple Top, a Black Limba back and neck, and a luxurious Honduran Rosewood fretboard and headstock veneer. The semi-hollow body with a single F-hole adds a welcome airiness and depth, allowing the tone to breathe and resonate. Finished in Gloss Nitro, this guitar is a future collector's item and a spectacular player's instrument. Each guitar includes a hand-signed 40th Anniversary certificate. Key Features: Ultra-Limited Edition: Only 280 pieces available worldwide, making this a highly coveted collector's guitar. Premium Tonewoods: Features an Artist Grade Figured Maple Top, Black Limba back and neck, and Honduran Rosewood fretboard and headstock veneer. Unrivaled Versatility: The H-N-H configuration (McCarty III / Narrowfield / McCarty III) combined with the 5-way blade switch and two mini-toggle coil-taps unlocks twelve total pickup combinations. Vintage & Modern Appointments: Includes the reliable PRS Patented Tremolo, Gen III and PRS Phase III Locking Tuners with Wing Buttons, paired with "Old School" Birds inlays and a "Pre-Factory" Eagle headstock logo, paying tribute to early PRS guitars. Neck Profile: Features the classic 25" scale length and comfortable Pattern neck shape. Photos are of the actual guitar for sale, SN 0418635.
