PRS SE Hollowbody II Piezo

For many years, if you wanted a PRS hollowbody with a piezo system, you had to save up enough money for an American made PRS. But now, you can get a PRS Hollowbody II with a piezo system in the more affordable SE line.

There's not enough left handed models from PRS se line. Need a cheap hollowbody, and is that Norwegian Wood at the beginning? Thanks again Jonathan. Did you like the fat neck?

[@mohamadmohamadi4793]

Hello, thank you for introducing this vintage guitar. Today I bought a number of prs Holobody and we like its style very much. I hope we will be good friends

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

I recently got a PRS S2 McCarty 594 Thinline, and my initial impression was so-so. But as the days went on and I played it more and more, I slowly fell in love with it. I have other guitars that play better, sound better, and sustain better, but there's something very special about the PRS that inspires me to play. And the more I do, the more I begin to understand why these are loved by so many people :)

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

As long as you pick up that guitar and play... it’s a winner ✌️❤️

[@toneydavis9802]

Jonathan this is a very popular guitar and an amazing value. You do such a great job of presenting the instruments potential.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Thank you ✌️❤️

Laminate maple top and back, mahogany sides, ebony fretboard with real abalone bird inlays, mahogany wide-fat set in neck, PAF-style 58/15S humbuckers, 25" scale, 22 frets, real flamed maple body, neck and headstock binding. PRS smashed it out the park with this model.

[@tomdameek]

I’ve actually played one of these Jon and they are astonishingly beautiful. Amazing tones unfortunately my little hands meant the neck wasn’t comfortable and I found it slightly harder to bend for some reason. But the tones you get from it are heavenly. The intro was fantastic as usual Jon - cheers

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

I understand.. not the most comfortable guitar for me either but the tone made up for it in some ways ✌️❤️

A few months back I bought a rough 2001 Santana SE, and like was said below, I slowly fell in love with the "fat neck" feel. Yesterday I was wondering if PRS had a git-fiddle with a piezo and "hear" you are with one..... Thanks Jonathan for ALL the reviews & playing, this channel is inspiring!

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

My pleasure ✌️❤️

Just got one of these and a fireburst mahogany standard in the Black Friday sales in the uk new for 50% off each. These guitars are amazing and your playing is inspiring. God bless you John and a happy Christmas to you and your family from Adrian in the UK.

[@Hickeroar]

Hey, I just bought one of those two months ago! I love it! It's my new "everything guitar."

[@Hickeroar]

What's really weird, and something I didn't expect, is that listening to the guitar in the video, I hear a lot of specific similarities between how this one and mine sound. I can't even define it, but I can "just tell" that it's the same guitar. Those pickups are a lot more distinctive than I expected, apparently. That's not something I've ever noticed with any other guitar before. Worship Tutorials made an IR specifically for this guitar, so if you have a capable pedal, etc, it'd be worth trying out.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

That’s nice.. but try to get your own sound if you can ✌️❤️

[@allanpierce9700]

That piezoelectric prs is brighter and cleaner than the standard hollow one.. such a great idea of prs. I love the dynamics of applying transducer technology for guitar. Makes for a more precise clearer picking sound... Nice job ..am getting spoiled with your reviews Jon ..sianora and god bless .

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

God bless you too ✌️❤️

[@joachimleinfelder1200]

Well done like always, Jonathan! My Harley Benton CST24HB looks quite the same (without the shapped lower horn and black pu-rings), but for sure different sounding ;-) and a fraction of the price ...

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Lol.. yea ✌️❤️

[@im58woody]

I could use that playing with my ear buds to go to sleep to at night. Sweet playing as always. I like this PRS. But...you need to get your hands on one of the new Fender Jazzmaster Acoustasonic guitars for review. They sound pretty great.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Will try to ✌️❤️

[@matthewfielding288]

Maple back 😉 and a beautiful one too! Sides are mahogany though.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

✌️❤️

[@JonNewquist]

You make this one sound better than mine, Jonathan, but I'm mostly an acoustic player and am still learning to use the 58/15s pickups. I also adjusted the G saddle for a wound third string (exl110w). I'm happy you demo'd this guitar! You always bring the best out of each piece of gear you play. Thanks! Have you done the SE Paul's Guitar yet? That's what I am thinking about getting next, for single coil sounds.

[@JonNewquist]

Oops, you did the SE Paul's Guitar 6 months ago. 😊🙏

Sounds great, but then again with your playing everything sounds great 😀 If I may a small note to something I've noticed in previous reviews of certain guitars, though, and it's prominent here for obvious reasons...it's "piezo", not "pezio" 😉

Thanks ✌️❤️

Nice review. How do you compare this guitar with Schecter C1 electro acoustic guitar? They both look the same but Schecter has a dedicated tone knob as well with a 3 way switch.

[@davidlacroix6769]

Nice looking guitar but is that case as cheap as it looks? Great playing as usual.

[@JonNewquist]

It's a flat top case, and not many plies. I'm definitely not stacking anything on it when laying flat, but there's no way it would survive in the SE gigbags. I'm looking for Core HBII case already, and I've only had mine since January.

It depends on what genre you are going for ✌️❤️

[@justanotheruser9590]

Hm I really dig those warm singing clean notes, like you play or ruben wan style. But I want to play some more rocky riffs with some overdrive as well. Do you have any recommendations that dont break the bank too much?

[@bedroomstudios205]

I Have one in blue. Run the piezo into an acoustic amp and the magnetic into whatever guitar amp you like. Play with the mix.

[@teedzay]

Is it sensitive to feedback since this is a hollow body?

It depends on how loud you play✌️❤️

[@macfawlty]

Your less than enthusiastic review and cursory reference to the piezo was enough for me to reject this model. Sort of a niche guitar, like if you play a wedding and only wanna bring one guitar for a variety of genres. Of course you don’t have to use the piezo Jack or pickup at all, but there’s a hefty jump in price, so…

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Lol.. No.. its because I normally don’t use piezos when I play live… but I did demo it’s use either in this video out the other ones with the same config
