NOT a PRS SE Hollowbody II Piezo? Cheaper Alternative?

[@lmaowat6358]

This video is what convinced me to be on the lookout for a Schecter C-1 E/A, as we’re in the same position you were in; suddenly leading worship with an electric guitar without a pianist 😂. I love my Schecters, so it wasn’t a big leap, but holy cow! I found a 2003 model with the split output jacks, and the piezo sounds insane over the PA. I’d say it sounds better than my Ovation SS acoustic for sure, with less of the wrist strain. Thanks for making this video!

[@mehaxe]

This guitar just got a new revamp and I’m super stoked about buying it for the first guitar bought with my own money.

[@RNAMusic]

I’m glad it helped in some way!

[@cueoneful]

Love My Older Schector C1 - EA Lefty. Amazing Instrument.

[@RNAMusic]

@@cueoneful they’re great!

[@bryanvaughn80]

i love using piezo equipped electrics at church! the boss ac-3 is very cool as well! enjoy ryan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mikeblueblaze]

I have the exact Schector C1 e/a and my main beef about it is that it drains the 9 volt battery but easy playing with great sounds sometimes I use a stereo guitar input to run the acoustic to a separate amp and humbuckers to separate amp that does wonders playing in stereo. Only one input but it's for playing stereo or straight signal with single input cables

SD Jazz and JB in the bridge, don't look back. Owned one for years.

[@changer1285]

I got mine in 05. Still play it.

[@glendoggett9670]

The Dean Colt semi hollow is available with a piezo. I installed a T-bridge and control-x from LR Baggs in my Gretsch centerblock jr and it sounds awesome. Nice demo!

[@simpson6700]

It's so difficult finding guitars with piezos and they are all expensive

[@RNAMusic]

Used Schecter E/A are a great option I think

[@leogolive]

That. Is. Beautiful!

[@jeffreyeagen4896]

That is a beauty! I love those dark bursts, my favorite finish! So when you putting the EMGs in it??

[@RNAMusic]

Lol..... don’t tempt me!

[@ZorkusYT]

use a fender box so nobody touch it , awesome strategy

[@PaulLue]

Seems like a good solution for your problem. Does that mean you will be running into two amps at church? Comment of the day: Basses are important, believe it or not. Bass players are gonna love you for that one. Good luck with the new band structure 🎸

[@RNAMusic]

Yup I’m running into my fender super champ XD an into the a direct box to the PA with the acoustic line

[@richardbajakian4039]

which do you like better, the PRS hollowbody 2 or the Schecter C-1E/A?

[@RNAMusic]

My friends PRS hollowbody II was amazing. at the time it was double the price of the Schecter E/A i found used. I wanted the PRS but couldn't fit it in the budget. If Budget is no concern.... PRS is amazing

[@richardbajakian4039]

Budget isn't the issue but I hear the PRS hollowbody has a chunky neck.....@@RNAMusic

[@adamlynch6877]

#forbiddenriff, I like the way you slowed it all down and paused so the bots didn't demonetize you. Seems like it plays pretty good. Nice looking too. Congratulations.

[@jeant9946]

Hi, need to ask again...I am considering to buy this one too..if the battery is dead, can we still use the mag pickup?thanks

[@RNAMusic]

Magnetics should work even if the piezo is dead from dead battery

[@jeant9946]

@@RNAMusic thanks

[@RNAMusic]

@@jeant9946 no problem!

[@jeant9946]

Using a split cable,h ow do you know which signal is Piezzo and which one is Magnetic? Thanks

[@RNAMusic]

Flick the selector switch from piezo only to both to magnetic only and you will know which is which. You can hear it.

[@RNAMusic]

Then you can mark the cable if it isn’t already

[@RNAMusic]

Most split cables will have a color difference, and once you test it you will know which is which

[@jeant9946]

Thank u so much!

[@WalkenDead]

I once bought a guitar that only came in bubble wrap, no box at all, just bubble wrap. Made it safe, but put that under adventures in eBay

[@davidbloom2373]

Beautiful guitar i.am big fan

[@WalkenDead]

Have you tried a Fluence set yet? Might be a good time

[@WalkenDead]

Sounds good man, run it

[@WalkenDead]

Crap, I really wish I had kept my Hamer Duotone now.

[@0TheRain0]

It sounds pretty good on the piezo side. What do you think about it vs the PRS SE Piezo?

[@RNAMusic]

My friend has one and its really great. Maybe he will loan it to me to do a shootout with this one.

[@IsaacLausell]

How do you run the piezo and the electric size out to different audio sources from the one output? Would a divider allow you to send separate signals or would it contain both combined signals?

[@RNAMusic]

You can uses a split cable. Y cable. One split contains the piezo and one contains the magnetic pickups. It’s stereo cable on the part that plugs into the guitar and the two split ends are mono for going into two separate amps.

[@IsaacLausell]

@@RNAMusic that is brilliant! Thanks for the info

[@MPD2003]

Dumb question. Can you send a link for an example of which Y cable to use? I have the new Pelham blue version headed my way and want to be able to put the piezo in the PA?

[@derickalbert]

Hi nice guitar and review too. I live in Canada and I’ve been looking for Solo custom 6 E/A, do you guys have in stock or can order for me? TIA

[@RNAMusic]

That guitar has been out of production for a really long time now. Only hope is finding a used one somewhere. I almost never see them pop up on the used market though.

[@israelrosario3922]

Please elaborate on this… From what I can tell it doesn’t exactly work the way I think you’re intending it to work. The Y cable you have is splitting your signal into both amps… though that doesn’t mean your splitting your piezo and mag pickups into separate amps… they’re both going into both amps.

[@RNAMusic]

They are not. The piezo is going to one amp and the mags are going to a different amp. The output jack of the guitar is a stereo jack, which is why your need a stereo guitar Y cable or a stereo adaptor.

[@israelrosario3922]

@@RNAMusic beautiful, that makes more sense. Thank you

[@MetallicA29]

Oh snap!!! Spacetone has some cool guitars. Especially if you're in to Gibson.

[@JP1AO]

What do these weigh in at roughly?

[@WalkenDead]

Those peanuts are an abomination. I ordered a Orange head from GC years a go, they sent it in a box that could have carried a 4x12 full of those things. A tip if you are shipping, use all those plastic grocery bags that all of us keep laying around to pack the peanuts in.

[@briantaylor5667]

But they aren't cheaper than a prs by much they are still over 1k so not budget friendly

[@RNAMusic]

$500 used for the Schecter

[@GICUSTOM]

sounds like a great excuse to buy another guitar!!!

I wasn’t supposed to buy any more for me this year lol

I’m a woman thinking about moving to Texas. I’m curious are there many white man/black woman couples there, in Austin/Dallas?

[@RNAMusic]

More than there’s ever been I think. We don’t live in Dallas or Austin, but it’s much more common now then It’s ever been in our lifetime.
