PRS Hollowbody II Piezo Electric Guitar, Charcoal Burst

An incredibly vibrant instrument of sight and sound, the PRS Hollowbody II Piezo impresses on several musical fronts. Balancing excellent specifications as an electric guitar and an electric-acoustic guitar, this PRS classic is a fan-favorite among their lineup of completely hollow guitars.

PRS starts out the Hollowbody II Piezo with a truly impressive hollow body made of a maple top and back with mahogany sides. This combination of woods comes together in PRS's classic double-cutaway form, creating an image of quality while providing a tonal clarity with unmatched resonance. The body features a violin top carve that makes for a smooth and form-fitting feel in hand and in the arms.

The PRS experience moves from there with a one-piece mahogany neck in a PRS Pattern profile. Meeting the palm of the fretting hand easily, this neck moves quickly for fast maneuvers from higher to lower registers. Attached to this neck is a rosewood fingerboard bearing twenty-two frets and measuring with a ten-inch radius. Playing with a comfortable touch, this board offers an articulate fretting experience for players looking out for fast and exciting playing.

Naturally, this whole experience would not be the same without its electronics setup – and PRS has really got one to write home about, here. The Hollowbody II Piezo comes equipped with two PRS 58/15 LT humbucking pickups. These "low turn" pickups play with a warm, clear, and vintage tone to inspire all the great music PRS is known for, but the conversation doesn't stop there. Alongside this set of electronics is an LR Baggs/PRS Piezo pickup system that comes standard with Hollowbody II Piezo guitars.

This onboard piezo pickup system captures the natural acoustic tone of the Hollowbody II Piezo, making it an exceptional choice for electric versatility. Two output jacks appear on this Hollowbody II Piezo, one for its humbuckers and one for its piezo system. Through these options, guitarists can choose to plug into a variety of amps or soundboards to capture electric and acoustic tonality. Additionally, a separate blend control allows the sounds of the Hollowbody II's 58/15 LT humbuckers through a single output.

Playability only gets better from here with a number of fine hardware specifications. This guitar's PRS Adjustable Piezo Stoptail bridge includes six individual piezo-equipped saddles to work with its proprietary electronics to better achieve electric and acoustic sounds in one instrument. Across its body on the iconic PRS headstock, a set of PRS Phase III Non-Locking tuners appears with wing buttons. By reducing the tuners' weight, this hardware specification enhances resonation and retains energy in vibrating strings to make for an overall acoustically rich instrument.

As a hollowbody electric guitar, there are few quite like the PRS Hollowbody II Piezo. Capturing so much of what makes a great acoustic and electric instrument, the Hollowbody II Piezo reaches new musical heights and invites any player to take it and do the same.
