The PRS SE Hollowbody Standard is a workhorse electric guitar that's built to merge the comfortable playability of a standard solidbody guitar with the warm, resonant tone of a hollowbody instrument. Featuring fully hollow construction, this eye-popping instrument features a mahogany top over mahogany sides and back — a tonewood cocktail that delivers extraordinary clarity and warm resonance. The SE Hollowbody Standard also features a very comfortable Wide Fat mahogany set neck and a premium ebony fingerboard emblazoned with iconic PRS bird inlays. Dual F-holes and two toneful 58/15 “S” humbuckers with a built-in Piezo pickup round out the feature set. For amazing tone, playability, and value, the PRS SE Hollowbody Standard is hard to beat.
The PRS SE Hollowbody Standard is built like no other guitar. Instead of the center block that runs top-to-bottom through semi-hollow guitar bodies, the SE Hollowbody Standard 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 a SE Hollowbody Standard.
The SE Hollowbody Standard Piezo showcases some serious sonic flexibility. Most notably, it's powered by a pair of PRS 58/15 “S” 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 “S” set packs a real 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, Music Experience believes that the Hollowbody Standard will do the job.
Neck shapes are critical to your playing experience and a hallmark of PRS quality. The PRS SE Hollowbody Standard is fitted with their Wide Fat set neck. Perfected after years of prototyping, the wide-fat neck carve is based on designs Paul Reed Smith did in the '70s and '80s for Carlos Santana, Peter Frampton, and Howard Leese of Heart. The SE Hollowbody Standard's premium ebony fingerboard feels smooth-as-glass under your fingers, and its iconic bird inlays are the calling card of this top-notch guitar maker.
The SE Hollowbody Standard Piezo features an all-mahogany body with hollow construction for a warm, resonant tone. Boasting 58/15 LT “S” pickups and an LR Baggs/PRS Piezo system, the SE Hollowbody Standard Piezo provides musicians with the versatility of wielding both acoustic and electric tones in one instrument. Additional appointments include a 22-fret wide fat neck, bone nut, and PRS adjustable Piezo stoptail bridge. The instrument is designed with two discrete volume controls (magnetics and piezo) and output jacks (magnetics and mix/piezo). Players can plug into the “Mix/Piezo” jack and use the individual volume controls to blend the 58/15 “S” pickups with the piezo’s acoustic tones. Alternatively, players can plug into the jacks separately, so the guitar can run magnetic pickups into an amp and run the piezo through an acoustic amp or DI into the soundboard. When using the magnetic output jack in isolation, the piezo battery is bypassed completely, acting as a failsafe (in this scenario, the magnetic pickups still work even if the piezo battery has run out of juice). The SE Hollowbody Standard Piezo is one guitar that can cover any gig in style.
