Every guitar tells a story, but few speak as powerfully as PRS's latest limited edition offering. Made from reclaimed woods, the S2 Special Semi-Hollow Reclaimed Limited Edition honours both musical heritage and environmental responsibility.
Limited to just 700 pieces worldwide, each of the S2 Special Semi-Hollow Reclaimed guitars features a stunning Peroba Rosa top, sourced from 100-to 150-year-old timber traditionally used as house siding in Brazil. Cuban mahogany necks carry their own remarkable history – salvaged from Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria in 2017, giving new life to trees that might otherwise have been lost. Completing the story, Guaribu Preto fretboards utilise Brazilian timber once employed as structural house beams.

“Wood is a crucial element to our guitar making heritage,” explains Paul Reed Smith. The company’s Senior Wood Buyer, Michael Reid, has cultivated relationships with suppliers worldwide since 1980, ensuring these reclaimed materials meet PRS’s exacting standards while preserving their unique character.
Rather than hiding the wood’s history, PRS celebrates it. Natural satin nitro finishes reveal nail holes, wear marks, and discolouration that tell each piece’s story. Combined with the semi-hollow body construction, these aged woods deliver a distinctive tone that’s both punchy and warm.
There’s no need to sacrifice versatility for sustainability with these limited edition guitars – each one maintains the S2 Special Semi-Hollow’s renowned pickup configuration, featuring humbuckers flanking a Narrowfield pickup, controlled by a 5-way blade switch and dual mini-toggles. This setup creates twelve distinct pickup combinations, ensuring players can explore everything from crystalline single-coil tones to rich, vintage humbucker warmth.
Beyond environmental consciousness, these instruments represent PRS’s commitment to craftsmanship. Each 25-inch scale neck features the company’s Pattern Regular profile, while Phase III locking tuners and the patented tremolo system maintain the reliability PRS players expect.
Available exclusively in Natural finish, the S2 Special Semi-Hollow Reclaimed Limited Edition proves that sustainable guitar making doesn’t require compromise, but instead creates opportunity for something truly special.
