On the back of the guitar, there is a finish crack on the seam where the 2-piece back meets. See Photos!
A Sonic Chameleon: Vintage Warmth Meets Acoustic Sparkle
This isn’t just another pretty face—the PRS Hollowbody II Piezo is a masterclass in versatility, blending the airy resonance of a classic hollowbody with the cutting power of modern electronics. Finished in a gorgeous McCarty Sunburst, this guitar doesn’t just look the part; it’s built to perform. The fully hollow construction, featuring a maple top and back with mahogany sides, delivers a rich, organic bloom to every note. It’s that open, three-dimensional sound that solid-body players dream about.
Vintage Voice: 58/15 LT Pickups
At the heart of its electric tone are the PRS 58/15 LT pickups. These humbuckers are all about warmth, clarity, and that coveted PAF-style character. They’re lower-output, which means they clean up beautifully but can still snarl when you dig in. From glassy, articulate cleans to gritty, bluesy breakup, these pickups capture the nuances of your playing with exceptional detail. They have a vocal-like quality that cuts through a mix without being harsh.
The Piezo Powerhouse
Here’s where the magic happens. A flick of a switch engages the LR Baggs/PRS Piezo system, unlocking a world of authentic acoustic tones. Run it solo for surprisingly convincing acoustic sounds, or—our favorite—blend it with the magnetic pickups. This hybrid setup is a game-changer for live performance and recording. Add a touch of piezo to your electric tone for extra sparkle and string definition, or blend in the humbuckers to add warmth and body to your acoustic sound. The possibilities are endless.
Effortless Playability: The Pattern Neck
This Hollowbody II features PRS’s acclaimed “Pattern” neck profile. It’s a comfortable, substantial shape that feels instantly familiar—a nod to the great guitars of the late ’50s, but with modern PRS refinement. Combined with the 10″ fretboard radius and 25″ scale length, it’s a perfect platform for both complex chording and fluid single-note runs. It just feels right.
