PRS Paul Reed Smith 6 String SE Hollowbody II Piezo, Black Gold Burst, Right-handed

The PRS SE Hollowbody II Piezo combines the balanced, clear, and resonant tone of a hollowbody instrument with the power and stability of a solid-body electric guitar. Constructed with a Black Gold Burst maple back and top and mahogany sides, the SE Hollowbody II Piezo offers a light shimmer and snap in an attractive package. The 58/15 "S" pickups deliver clarity and balance that sound big and musical in a hollowbody platform.

The SE Hollowbody II Piezo now boasts a newly designed LR Baggs/PRS Piezo system, providing musicians with the versatility of wielding both acoustic and electric tones in one instrument. The instrument is designed with two discrete volume controls (magnetics and piezo) and output jacks (mix/piezo and magnetics). 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. 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. 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).

The versatility of the SE Hollowbody II Piezo is further enhanced by its design. The two discrete volume controls allow players to seamlessly blend the electric and acoustic tones to achieve their desired sound, whether they're looking for a pure electric tone, a pure acoustic tone, or a blend of the two. The separate output jacks provide even more flexibility, enabling players to route the electric and acoustic signals to different amplifiers or recording devices, allowing for greater control and customization of the final sound.

The combination of the hollowbody construction, the 58/15 "S" pickups, and the LR Baggs/PRS Piezo system results in a guitar that is equally at home in a variety of musical settings. The hollowbody design provides the warm, resonant tone that is so beloved by jazz and blues players, while the electric pickups and piezo system give the instrument the versatility to handle a wide range of styles, from rock and pop to country and folk.

Whether you're a seasoned professional or a dedicated hobbyist, the PRS SE Hollowbody II Piezo is a guitar that is sure to inspire and delight. Its impressive tonal capabilities, coupled with its sleek and attractive design, make it a truly compelling instrument that is sure to find a place in the hearts and hands of musicians everywhere.
