The PRS S2 Special Semi-Hollow electric fills a unique spot in PRS Guitar's lineup, with a unique triple-pickup combination that makes it a veritable tonal playground for guitarists of every style.

Right now, Sweetwater is offering a whopping $390 off on this beauty, bringing the price down to $2,209 during Black Friday.

We praised this new semihollow addition to the S2 lineup when we reviewed it this past October. Built in Maryland, it hits the sweet spot between classic tone, modern versatility and pure playability by delivering the slinky feel of a Strat, the hearty tone of a Les Paul and the open woodiness of an ES-335.

Sweetwater's deal makes this an excellent time to add this versatile tone machine to your arsenal. Best of all, it's available in a range of gorgeous finishes.
