This Hollowbody Packs Major Tonal Versatility
For many years, guitarists who wanted a PRS hollowbody with a piezo system had to save up enough money for an American-made PRS, but now, thanks to PRS’s more affordable SE line, you can get a PRS SE Hollowbody II Piezo. This eye-popping instrument features a figured maple top and back with mahogany sides, a tonewood combination that delivers extraordinary clarity and warm resonance. The SE Hollowbody II Piezo also features a comfortable Wide Fat mahogany set neck and a premium ebony fingerboard emblazoned with iconic PRS bird inlays. Two tone-laden 58/15 LT “S” humbucking pickups and a piezo system round out the design. A versatile workhorse of an electric guitar, the PRS SE Hollowbody II Piezo covers significant tonal ground, producing an array of tones that can encompass any genre.

Resonant, comfortable, thin-profile hollowbody
The PRS SE Hollowbody II Piezo is built like no other guitar. Instead of the center block that runs top-to-bottom through semi-hollow guitar bodies, the SE Hollowbody II Piezo features only a small block that anchors the bridge. This proprietary PRS construction gives you the warm resonance of a full hollowbody with the clarity, sustain, and rock-solid stability of a semi — all in a comfortable thin-profile instrument. So if you’re a solidbody player, you’ll feel right at home on an SE Hollowbody II Piezo.
Vintage-voiced 58/15 LT “S” humbuckers and piezo system
The SE Hollowbody II Piezo showcases serious sonic flexibility. Most notably, it’s powered by a pair of PRS 58/15 LT “S” humbucking pickups that deliver vintage character with modern clarity. Featuring a powerful bridge pickup and neck pickup with the perfect amount of brightness, the 58/15 LT “S” set packs a powerful sonic punch, from chimey cleans to full shred. But that’s not all that’s hidden inside this guitar’s body. It’s equipped with a piezo pickup that amplifies the hollowbody’s acoustic tone. For sets that require acoustic and electric guitars, Sweetwater’s gigging guitarists believe that the SE Hollowbody II Piezo will do the job.
Wide Fat neck profile and premium appointments
Neck shapes are critical to your playing experience and a hallmark of PRS quality. The SE Hollowbody II Piezo is fitted with PRS’s Wide Fat set neck. Perfected after years of prototyping, the Wide Fat neck carve is based on designs Paul Reed Smith created in the ’70s and ’80s for Carlos Santana, Peter Frampton, and Howard Leese of Heart. Paired with a “violin carve” typically reserved for flagship Core and Private Stock lines, wing button tuners, sloped pickup rings, and a premium ebony fingerboard, the SE Hollowbody II Piezo is a guitar perfected for comfort and style.
