Just out of curiosity, has anyone else ever seen one of these in this exact colour? I have seen similar, but this has no light coloured band around the edge of the body, it’s just black. The headstock and the fret board are also stained black, not the natural wood colour. Doesn’t say it’s a special order on the PRS tag, so I assume it’s a standard colour. It is a 10 top but I wouldn’t expect that to make a difference.
I don't know if PRS actually released how many Special Semi-Hollows were made and how 'limited' it actually is. It was Limited Edition in that it was only made for a limited time and cannot be ordered now and not limited edition in the sense that they planned to make a set number - like 500 Nebula Silver Skys, 135 Dragons etc. Its much like their 35th Anniversary Custom 24 for example which will be made for this year.
I don't know what quantities were made and the breakdown of the percentage of each models they were making - whether they made more/less SSH's compared to other Core models. With the popularity of models like the Custom 24 or 594 for example, I expect they didn't cut back on making these to make SSH's but they certainly made a fair few... Never saw a Fire Red one in the UK though.
I love my Special Semi-Hollow and have said quite a few times that I think its aptly named. Whilst I wasn't able to get one in my preferred colour choice, I can't say I am disappointed with the one I did get. For a regular core - not a 10-top (or above), I think I got an incredible looking top on mine...
Its a bit on the 'heavy' side compared to many others I saw - not that its heavy at 7.5lbs and it plays beautifully - like all PRS guitars. It sounds killer too and a very versatile instrument with a lot of tonal options - all very usable.
I hope you get a lot of enjoyment from yours and I look forward to seeing Pics when you can share them...
