Prs hollowbody 29/1/2023 It’s an amazing guitar that’s very versatile, especially if you’re the type of player who uses both acoustic and electric tones live. While I think some may be correct in pointing out that $1500+ is a lot for a foreign made guitar, this PRS simply has the quality of a USA-made guitar. It is a guitar that in a lot of ways is better than the sum of all parts, what I mean is that if you didn’t look at the price tag, you might confuse this for a USA-made custom shop PRS. One of the things that most impressed me most about this SE Hollowbody II Piezo was just how nice it felt to play. The feel, tuning stability, and sound quality was nuts, it’s really a very well made guitar top to bottom. I noticed a few, very small spots in the finish around the f-holes, but couldn’t find any other flaw on this guitar. The Peacock Blue Burst finish was gorgeous, and I was incredibly impressed when I opened the case, not knowing what I was being sent on loan. The PRS SE Hollowbody II Piezo is no doubt a player’s guitar, and would make an excellent live instrument thanks to the comfort, versatility, and tuning stability. The tuning stability was also excellent, even without locking tuners. The guitar had an amazing, worn-in feel, without any signs of distress or wear on the neck. Maybe it felt bigger because I reviewed the Sabre’s ultra-slim neck at the same time, but I personally much preferred the feel of this PRS. The neck on this SE Hollowbody II Piezo model is thick but extremely comfortable. Had to keep it a secret for a while but finally I can show off my time with the new SE Hollowbody II Piezo, one of the most versatile guitars I reviewed all year! Read why it got an 8.9/10 tomorrow by hitting the link in bio! #prsguitars #sehollowbodyiipiezo #guitarsforidiots #ultimateguitarĪ post shared by Matt Dunn on at 11:16am PDT Click the instagram video below for a sound demo! As you’ll hear in the UG shot, it has a crystal clean clear tone with that piezo that should leave little doubt about the utility of this guitar. Especially with that piezo volume control knob, you can go from electric to acoustic in the same song by just rolling off the volume. It sounded like all kinds of acoustic tones I’d ever want to use on stage, and I love that this guitar does the job of two. I don’t have too much experience with piezo pickups but the SE Hollowbody II Piezo quickly won me over with its snappy, articulate tones. If the electric tones are everything you could want in a classic PRS guitar, the piezo is the icing on the cake. The neck pickup is particularly fun to play with a slide, while the bridge has more punch and sparkle that cuts right through the mix. Chords ring out beautifully, and while it isn’t the most crystal clear when overdriven, it has an awesome “space-filling” quality that lets it go from rhythm to lead with ease. The two humbuckers can go from a quiet growl to searing leads with ease, and the tones compliment the fast neck well, as this isn’t a shredder’s guitar and is better suited for blues, jazz, pop, and classic rock riffs. While it is still on the pricey side, this guitar brings PRS custom shop feel and tone down to a much more appetizing price. True to its SE Hollowbody II base, this Piezo version did not disappoint. That second input lets you blend in the piezo pickup using the third control knob, letting you go from full electric to full piezo, and everything in between both. The SE Hollowbody II Piezo also features 2 input jacks, one for the magnetic pickups mentioned above labelled “mag”, and one that is labeled “mix/piezo”. PRS 58/15 “S” humbucker grace the front of the guitar and are controlled by a 3-way selector switch and volume and tone pot. Nickel hardware includes the adjustable stop tail Piezo and PRS’s designed tuners. This guitar features a 25″ scale length, 22 frets, and wide, fat neck profile that feels really solid and inviting. The Mahogany neck is covered by an Ebony fretboard with their “Old School” bird inlays. On top of that Maple sits a Figured Maple veneer, mine came in this stunning Peacock Blue Burst finish. This brand new SE Hollowbody II Piezo features 5-ply Laminated Maple top and back with Mahogany sides. This takes their beloved affordable line hollowbody II and adds a PRS and LR Baggs co-designed piezo underneath that wrap around bridge. Just announced by PRS this month, meet the SE Hollowbody II Piezo. PRS took one of my top 10 favorite guitars released in 2019 and made it even better for 2020. PRS does it again with this brand new, just announced addition to their affordable lineup!
