PRS SE Hollowbody II Piezo

[@beefychief3355]

I just got this from my grandpa right before he passed. I’m absolutely in love with it.

[@joziahroyce6226]

I realize Im kind of off topic but does anybody know of a good site to stream newly released tv shows online ?

[@realtruenorth]

Well that's a keeper

[@luciansirbu1784]

I'm very glad someone pointed the comments about the specs... guys, the country of manufacturer does not affect the quality, the specs are not that important, just enjoy this great guitar, it's not supposed to be worse or better...it just has a friendly price so its worth every penny imo..the guitar is a guitar..play it, enjoy it, stop complaing about where is made, and specs...Paul knows what he is creating..he knows the best how a guitar should feel , sound and play...

[@donly8408]

👏👏👏👏

[@ManumusMaximus]

Well said. Too much xenophobia around country of manufactuer.

[@Coolymusic]

Facts

[@Mandrax2011]

Cort have been making guitars for years, if they don't know what they are doing by now, then they never will. Paul would not allow Cort to make ALL of their SE guitars if they were not up to scratch. World Musical Instruments Korea made them for years and did a fantastic job, moving production to Cort means there's no gamble taken, because they know how to make great guitars at a great price point, because it's been their business for decades.

[@iceman0124]

I pulled the trigger because it came out of the China plant, I have a SE T60E and a P20, and love em both, love my SE HBII Piezo even more!

[@novembre80]

Finally a review that permits to listen the Hollowbody II unplugged. Really sounding guitar!

[@grrrrrgh]

This is the best review I've seen for this guitar, there were no other reviews that even played the guitar when not plugged in. Thanks!

[@stevesmithers7901]

I spent 3 hours playing one of these yesterday. its now been added to my collection. it plays and sounds as well as my core models and will now be one of my gig guitars.

[@dakotamorgan6594]

Steve Smithers does the neck, fret work, and action feel as nice as a core?

[@stevesmithers7901]

Dakota Morgan its close. The fret ends are not quite as rounded and polished, the fretboard needed to be oiled. It was very dry. The frets are very level and i have set my action low. I have not needed to adjust/ relieve the neck for my low action. No buzzing or fretting out. I am extremely happy that i can use this for gigs dependably and get the sounds i need without bringing a super expensive guitar.

[@tompelham4648]

Picked up on if these this year, what a keeper!! This guitar rings out like no other I've heard.... couldn't agree more:)

[@caseywilson7768]

Just got the same guitar last week. It is all that and a lot more.

[@daviduyttendaele3114]

Great! and after a long search, finally found one, sounds perfect for me!

[@benjamingettinger233]

Great review. Best example of mixing acoustic with high gain I’ve seen. Thanks!

[@Tombo1230]

This guitar is gorgeous!

[@dennisstallard6457]

Great Demo , I ordered mine this afternoon in the same colour as yours .

[@shanewilfon6860]

I just bought a ce dustie waring black top can't wait

[@StratsRUs]

I bought the Peacock Blue and love it. Thank you.

[@Capt-Cran]

Thank you ... great video!!

[@shanewilfon6860]

Love your reviews u r the best

[@anotherstart1]

A really great recording tool as if you pan hard right left with two inputs you got a nice acoustic tucked under a crunch, next one. $1495 is steep but better than $5000 core

[@neal_laugman]

100% with you brother!

[@londonsweeps]

At 8:38 in your video you blended the piezo with the electric guitar sound by turning up the volume controll for the piezo side. I notice though, you had two separate inputs plugged in. Would it not only blend together if you had it plugged solely into the MIX/PIEZO input jack only? Wouldn't the two input jacks separate the blend?

[@HappyChillmore]

Thought the same thing… it also sounded like it compared to some other reviews but I duno

[@19DoubleG80]

Looks and sounds awesome, reminds me of the Harley Benton CST series.

[@VirtuoseGuitaristGB]

Great Sound :)

[@ChrisDaviMusic]

hello, I have a piezo prs I love it! I really like your very jazzy sound. Can you tell me what your setting is? thank you very much 🙏🏼

[@Heavygen]

The dude abides.

[@wenjacklow]

Would love to see a comparison between this and a jazz box

[@MooreMusicGuitars]

Thanks for the idea. I think we may do that.

[@MrSteviethegreat]

So would I! I’m wondering what it would sound like for jazz and Fusion.

[@dogrocketp1807]

This is a jazz box, in addition to everything else it does.

[@davidarmstrong7903]

I like that you were playing some jazz licks at the beginning of the video. I have an early 1980s ES-335, but I’m not bonding well with it for chord melody fingerstyle on jazz standards. Is this hollowbody up to that task in your opinion? Especially with barre chords on the lower frets?

[@dogrocketp1807]

I have and used to play big box jazz guitars. This is an amazing guitar, don’t even factor in the price. This goes from straight up jazz sounds to some very tasty Larry Carlton to piezo sounds. It has a great neck, excellent intonation, and I even like the colors! My blue one is an absolute keeper. I put SE locking tuners and locking studs on it. Done, and happy.

[@philhood4604]

Awesome guitar. Put my piezo output into a Bose S1 monitor, sounds great

[@shawnadams1693]

This guy is an amazing presenter, very well done. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@dennisp2180]

tell him to peel off the pickup plastic stuff.

[@kolbyatkins2588]

These SE models may have laminate tops, but so do ES-335s. And those guitars are at least twice the price

[@realtruenorth]

In the world of electric hollowbody and semi hollow. Laminate top is the way to go. The best ones are laminate. Solid top has too much feedback.

[@javierfloresvelasco8707]

Good guitar exelent

[@johnfitzgerald4308]

I’m just wondering if I need two amps ?….

[@John-rx6pv]

Hi which amp & settings did u use? Particularly at the beginning of the video with neck pickup

[@MooreMusicGuitars]

Hi Jazz Live Music! I was using a Line 6 Helix with the Roland Jazz Chorus model. Bass and treble were at 50% positions, Midrange at 60%. Little bit of reverb.

[@luciansirbu1784]

Looks sweet, but I just bought a PRS SE and it will arrive in like a week, :)

[@tanukiman3855]

Hope you love it and that it gives you all the tone you want!

[@shawnadams1693]

Lucian Sirbu Which SE did you get? I have an SE Standard 24 that I’ve modded a bit. It’s a great guitar that I’m not afraid to travel with.

[@YheGrothmog]

Which amp would You recommend for this guitar?

[@MooreMusicGuitars]

To get the best of everything it offers, I'd recommend 2 amps, or a D.I to the FOH for the piezo output. An acoustic amp or something like a Jazz Chorus really shows off the piezo, too. The electric side would depend on your style, obviously, but a medium-gain cathode biased amp like a smaller Tweed, a Delta Blues, AC30 would be what I'd gravitate toward for a great blues sound. The magnetic pickups also sounds great with a high gain. high headroom amp. Getting that piezo sound to the audience would be what I'd concentrate on.

[@fk1028]

You do not have this model in your web site.

[@MooreMusicGuitars]

Not at the moment, but give our sales team a call and they can set you up with the next one coming in.

[@clydebermingham121]

I think the PRS with piezo May take steps further than a Taylor T5

[@jlepre752]

I used to gig a T5z and I sold it. This guitar is the real deal and is my go to.

[@sararichi1463]

CHYNUUUHHHH

[@smokit12boar20]

China right? Sounds good though. What got in Paul's head? The Chinese people who made that guitar don't make jack from their labor. He could have let the Philippines do it or Indonesia. IF not , why not? I liked the jazz sound produced by the guitar and amp you used. What was the amp?

[@MooreMusicGuitars]

I was using the Line 6 Helix' Roland Jazz Chorus model with a 4 X 12 25w Celestion cab IR.

[@萩原順子-l6c]

There are some people who defeat this guitar because of made in China. But this is nice guitar for a price. Made in China things are all around you. I know some of them are rubbish. On the other hand, they have improved skills of crafting electric devices. In the past, I didn't want a Chine made, but I don't mind now.

[@ManumusMaximus]

It’s sad that we now associate the quality of player with the price of the instrument.

[@PetraKann]

In the hands of a good player, the guitar itself really doesn't matter.

[@jjohn341]

@@PetraKann Exactly ...., and only PRS nerds would even know the difference .

[@jamesw1590]

Jeff Bridges is a fine guitarist.

[@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney]

Hi, I'm Jeff Lebowski and I'd like to show you the new Paul Reed Smith SE Hollow Body II Piezo.

[@PowerPlantSpots]

LOL!!

[@SharkMinnow]

Too funny!

[@jms_productions]

That guitar really ties the room together

[@FreDGuitaRtv]

Didn’t know that Jeff Bridges could play guitar?!

[@datac58]

@Fred Angrisani JB actually does play guitar and is partial to the Gretsch Country Gentleman.

[@alextherrien6848]

It's MADE IN CHINA

[@romeou4965]

Thank goodness otherwise would be priced $2000+ (So is my iPhone, HDTV, and laptop lol)

[@dogrocketp1807]

Play it, then whine like a little girl.

[@cross-hairz800]

Uhh $1400 for an overseas guitar has paul lost his mind??? Prs has no resale value as it is think about selling an overseas YEA NO

[@Terribleguitarist89]

No resale value? How baked are you?

[@cross-hairz800]

@@Terribleguitarist89 reverb sells a core prs for $800 to $4000 what are you talking about like wtf? Overseas has no value especially the SE SO HOW BAKED ARE U?

[@tanukiman3855]

If you buy guitars for resale value, I’ll concede your point. Most players I know buy them to play.

[@aldersmoke1]

I don't think he's lost his mind. I think he's feeling out the market. This thing is a gamble. But the features it packs do justify the price, especially given PRS's impeccable reputation for quality throughout its price points.

[@dogrocketp1807]

I buy mine used and save the money. This guitar is a keeper.

[@dimebagtribute]

You said 58/15 pickups but isn't it 85/15 pickups?

[@MooreMusicGuitars]

This guitar actually uses 58/15-S pickups. It was my first experience with them, but after playing them I prefer them over 85/15-S's.

[@dogrocketp1807]

85/15’s are uncovered. 58/15’s are covered and have a slightly warmer top end.
