From Our Research Team:

This Beauty Sounds Even Better than it Looks!

The PRS Hollowbody II hollowbody electric guitar is built to perform as great as it looks, and for good reason: its distinctive top and back are all carved from solid figured maple rather than laminates, allowing for better resonance - and the fantastic V12 finish allows that resonance to sing through. The bridge is actually mounted in a sound post rather than a long block, which also contributes to its great tone. The Hollowbody II also features a very comfortable Pattern-carve mahogany neck, topped with a rosewood fingerboard that boasts beautiful abalone bird inlays. Oversize f-holes, two 57/08 humbucking pickups and a PRS/LR Baggs piezo system round out the elegant Hollowbody II.

PRS Hollowbody II Hollowbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • PRS/LR Baggs piezo pickup system lets you blend natural acoustic tone with your humbuckers
  • PRS V12 finish feels like nitro and protects like acrylic
  • Pattern profile neck feels great and provides you with ultra-smooth action

PRS/LR Baggs piezo pickup system lets you blend natural acoustic tone with your humbuckers
The PRS/LR Baggs piezo pickup system onboard the Hollowbody II electric guitar gives you access to the natural acoustic sound of its mahogany body. An control knob lets you blend the sound of this pickup in with the sound of the Hollowbody II's humbuckers, adding a woodier quality and extra sustain to your tone. There's also a separate output next to the Hollowbody II's main output that lets you send just the sound of the PRS/LR Baggs piezo pickup system to an acoustic amplifier. You're going to love the range of tones you can get out of this electric guitar!

PRS V12 finish feels like nitro and protects like acrylic
The PRS Hollowbody II is finished in a stunning PRS V12 finish. If you're seeking vintage vibe with a sophisticated edge, your search ends here. Over a decade in the making, the PRS V12 finish blends the thin, resonance-enhancing characteristics of a nitro finish with the non-cracking reliability you expect from a modern acrylic finish. It has a classic feel all its own - it makes your axe feel like an well-worn instrument - one that will stay flawless-looking for years to come.

Pattern profile neck feels great and provides you with ultra-smooth action
The Hollowbody II is fitted with PRS's Pattern neck. A hallmark of PRS quality, neck shapes are, of course, critical to your playing experience. Perfected after years of prototyping, the Pattern neck is an updated Wide Fat PRS neck style based on designs Paul Reed Smith did in the '70s and '80s for Carlos Santana, Peter Frampton and Howard Leese of Heart. The Hollowbody II's bound rosewood fingerboard is butter under your fingertips, and with exquisite mother-of-pearl and Paua Heart Bird inlays, no one will mistake your axe for anything other than a PRS.
