I knew I wanted a semi-hollow maple body with 24.75 scale on a mahogany neck with quality fingerboard and even frets. I never before played or even considered buying a PRS guitar, although I always digged the idea of a guitar body design that had both Fender and Gibson influence. Terrible tarnishing start appearing fast on the nickel hardware.Īlthough I loved it I decided it was just too much value to hang out of home, and was a bit disapointed with some quirks on the finish, a lot of cracking on the pots and noisy/faulty neck pickup, so I decided to sell it and re-invest on a new mid-priced guitar that was as well constructed but didn't cost + 2000€, something like a used Ibanez JSM100 (I previously had the JSM10 and loved it).Tiny workmanship flaws in fingerboard, binding, headstock.Volume pot developed severe cracking very fast.Didn't love the pickups (too hot and compressed).Played very well, great action, great intonation, some minor buzzes.Most beautiful guitar I ever laid my eyes upon, stunning figured top and back, amazing gloss nitro finish.Before this I made the crazy move and bought a brand new 2021 Figured Gibson ES-335, a 3300€ guitar which I later sold, it featured: This is the most versatile SE instrument in the Series nearly twenty-year history.īefore talking about the PRS let me just do a quick intro that may inspire you to save some money. When using the magnetic output jack in isolation, the piezo battery is bypassed completely, acting as a failsafe (in this scenario, the magnetic pickups still work even if the piezo battery has run out of juice). Alternatively, players can plug into the jacks separately, so the guitar can run magnetic pickups into an amp and run the piezo through an acoustic amp or DI into the soundboard. Players can plug into the “Mix/Piezo” jack and use the individual volume controls to blend the 58/15 “S” pickups with the piezo’s acoustic tones. The instrument is designed with two discrete volume controls (magnetics and piezo) and output jacks (mix/piezo and magnetics). Now boasting a newly-designed LR Baggs/PRS Piezo system, the SE Hollowbody II Piezo provides musicians with the versatility of wielding both acoustic and electric tones in one instrument. The 58/15 “S” pickups deliver clarity and balance that sound big and musical in a hollowbody platform. Constructed with a maple back and top with mahogany sides, the SE Hollowbody II Piezo offers a light shimmer and snap in an attractive package. Includes hardshell case.The SE Hollowbody II Piezo combines the balanced, clear, resonant tone of a hollowbody instrument with the power and stability of a solid-body electric guitar. By utilizing the separate blend control, the tone of the Hollowbody II’s 58/15 LT pickups can also be combined with acoustic sounds through a single output. There are two output jacks on the Hollowbody II, allowing guitarists to plug into their favorite electric guitar or acoustic guitar amp or DI into a soundboard. The PRS/LR Baggs Piezo System comes standard, providing musicians with the versatility of wielding both acoustic and electric guitar tones in one instrument. The combination of the maple top and back with mahogany sides provides tonal clarity and extraordinary resonance. With brilliant acoustics and a vast array of tones, the Hollowbody II has been a constant favorite in our dynamic lineup of semi-hollow instruments.
