The Hollowbody II Piezo is a fully hollow PRS with two voices: a pair of McCarty III humbuckers and an LR Baggs/PRS Piezo System built into the bridge. The body is maple top and back with mahogany sides, on a 22-fret, 25" scale mahogany neck in PRS's Pattern shape.
The piezo lives in the PRS Adjustable 'Piezo' Stoptail, which has a piezo element in each of its six saddles. There are two output jacks, so the humbuckers can go to a guitar amp while the piezo goes to an acoustic amp or a DI at the board. The blend knob also mixes the two through a single output. The humbuckers get one volume, one tone and a 3-way toggle, and the piezo system has its own 3-way switch.
This is for someone who moves between acoustic and electric parts in one set and wants one guitar on the stand. Compare it with the PRS McCarty 594 Hollowbody II, which drops the piezo for a 24.594" scale, a Pattern Vintage neck and two volumes with two tones. Our pick is Faded Blue Jean, a soft blue that suits quieter rooms.
For the Top, choose Standard figured maple or PRS's 10 Top and Back, the higher grade of figure on both faces, which PRS lists with hybrid hardware.
