The SE Hollowbody II Piezo combines the balanced, clear, resonant sound of a hollow body instrument with the power and stability of a full body electric guitar. Built with a maple back and top with mahogany sides, the SE Hollowbody II Piezo offers a slight shimmer and fits together into an attractive package. The 58/15 "S" pickups deliver clarity and balance that deliver big, musical sound in a hollow-body rig.
Featuring a new LR Baggs/PRS Piezo system, the SE Hollowbody II Piezo offers musicians the ability to manipulate both acoustic and electric sounds in a single instrument. The instrument is designed with two discrete volume controls (magnetic and piezo) and output jacks (mix/piezo and magnetic). Players can plug into the "Mix/Piezo" jack and use the individual volume controls to mix the 58/15 "S" pickups with the acoustic piezo sounds. Players can also plug the jacks separately, so the guitar can plug magnetic pickups into an amp and the piezo into an acoustic amp or a DI into the soundboard. When the magnetic output jack is used in isolation, the piezo battery is completely shorted, which is a safety feature (in this case, the magnetic pickups work even if the piezo battery is out of juice). This is the most versatile SE instrument in the series, which has been around for almost twenty years.
