PRS Hollowbody II Piezo - Charcoal Burst 10-Top Review

Love this Fiddleback

Received my PRS on Sept.7th, WOW!! 2 days later I sold 3 of my main stay guitars. This ax has to be the Finest instrument I've played/own, amazing sustain intonation, tone and gorgeous look so lite feels like I could play it on stage for days. I've been learning how to play the guitar for 35 years. I would definitely recommend this guitar to anyone looking for an exceptional companion

Swiss Army Knife

Love this guitar. The piezo is more than adequate in terms of giving you a true acoustic sound during live performance (tho I would recommend an MXR 10-band EQ to dial in teh tone a bit and give yourself some more gain). I wanted something that could be used in both a rock band setting but also easily switch to solo acoustic or stripped down country on the fly. The 58/15 humbuckers… read more are fantastic too. Great tone but more than that the "pattern" neck feel is just right. It's so light and the neck is short so it almost feels like you're playing a toy guitar (in a good way). It's a completely controllable, manageable guitar. I use it at solo acoustic gigs and full band. It's simply the best guitar I've ever played / owned. Paired with a Princeton Revern Reissue 65 and a VSXO od pedal the tone is exactly what I've been searching for.

PRS Hollowbody II 10-Top Piezo

Arrived the other day and with several hours of playing I am read to offer my comments and suggestions. The Guitar came via FedX Ground in-a-box which contained the PRS shipping box, good packaging by Sweetwater. As soon as I opened it I was thinking dang this is a small guitar case and he guitar must have shrunk ... upon opening it was just the right size and very light (Kudos… read more to PRS for keeping with down). I connected to my Fender Deluxe Reverb and for Piezo to my Fishman Artist Acoustic Amp. Controls are easy and silent and sounds to both amps was excellent - nice clean tone (Fender) and nice Acoustic Tones to the Fishman. Playing with the switches I prefer the Piezo Switch in the center position which combines it with the Humbuckers. I then connect to my Marshall Amp and discovered all the tone possibilities with Humbuckers and Piezo. As for tonal quality both clean and crunch, it sits between my Gibson Les Paul Standard HP and Fender Custom Stratocaster. I am thinking I now have the best of both worlds and with all the tonal options I do. Now for playability, given the fact these are heaver strings .010 and with a wound "g" or third string, it feels very tight and takes more finger pressure bending and tremolo. It came with the String height closer to my Guild Capri which is higher than both Gibson and Fender. The means a bit more pressure and I am sure I can lower them a bit to suit my style. For playing Fender Strat is by far the easiest, followed by Gibson, then PRS and Guild. Build quality, fit and finish is terrific as one would expect for an expensive guitar. The more I play it, the more I like it and for me its a keeper and my main goto guitar for recording rhythm.
