PRS Hollowbody 1 - Demo & Review

Thanks for checking out my demo of this incredibly special guitar. This guitar has been the main guitar I have used whilst developing my playing style and my overall technical ability. It is the guitar I reach for the most, the instrument that inspires me to write new music and brings me joy!

Lovely playing and tone by the way.

My Hollowbody I has the piezo, but it also has binding on the neck and bird inlays that are outlined, but not filled in--if that makes sense. I've been searching YT for another one like it, but can't find one. Enjoyed your video. Also, mine is a 2013. Yours is? What string gauge are you using? I think mine came with .011s, and PRS told me if I wanted to use .010s I'd need a new nut. Others have told me differently, but I still haven't tried it .Just curious what you were using.

Sounds wonderful. I know what you’re describing. Thanks for checking out the video. Mine is a 2007 model. There is a good chance that yours is a Hollowbody 2. (If it has a flamed maple back and binding.) I use .010s on most of my guitars. I didn’t have to adjust the nut on this guitar, which was surprising. All the best 👍

Excellent playing!!!

[@DannyBeardsley]

Very kind, thank you!

I play an S2 24 and was really looking at a Vela. Something about a semi hollow now is on my wish list. You know how that is , tone chase. Anyway I was afraid of feedback playing it live. Have you played yours live? Any FB?

[@DannyBeardsley]

Thanks for getting in touch. I’ve used the HB many times on big stages and had no issues with FB. It’s pretty controllable. I use a reasonable amount of gain at times too. Good luck 😉

I recently picked up a Private Stock very similar specs otherwise...with Brazilian Rosewood freeboard -- I don't like the Hollow Body II... I feel it robs from the sound. And yes, so light! 5.5lbs!

[@DannyBeardsley]

Sounds incredible! Thanks very much for watching.

[@alvarocastilla5489]

It sounds awesome. Do you have PRS pickups on it?

[@DannyBeardsley]

Thanks very much. Yes, stock Archtop pickups. Thanks again 👍
