For sure! When I watch demos of piezo-equipped electrics, I never expect a Taylor 900 Series kind of sound; I just want to see how close the guitar can get to a decent acoustic. And this thing sounds far better than a decent acoustic. I would LOVE to have a piezo that good on my go-to guitar, which is exactly the point of the Hollowbody II's.
Thank You for the great demo of this guitar. Seriously, not too much talking and not all shredding with heavy distortion, this demo should be the future template for all guitar reviews. And then there's Jack's playing, so wonderful in it's own, Thank You.
I'm not a good enough player yet to do justice to one of these but anyhoo picked mine up yesterday.... Scott said it would make me a 20% better player (banter) Obvs doesn't do that, but it makes the shit I play sound 50% better. I think it's a fantastic instrument. (Also - and I appreciate this is incidental - if you live with a noise sensitive family, I think it has enough life in it acoustically to practice unplugged and still sound nice, but v. quiet)
Nice demo. I bought one of the first of these to hit my town. I feel it really excels at jazz tones and light overdrive sounds. The piezo is an excellent option, as well. I’ve owned a n early Core Hollowbody I for years and feel this keeps up well, but I think the new version would benefit from the early McArty Archtop pickups, if I can find some.
The jack wiring was discussed, but I have what's probably a noob question - if you're plugged into the magnetic-only jack, does that mean that the mix/piezo jack becomes piezo-only? That would seem to be the logical assumption, but I'd like to know for sure.
Yes. In the PRS chanel they released a video about this guitar and they answer that saying that you can use one output jack with the mix of both sistems (as it is said in this video), but if you use the 2 output jacks the signal is splited and you can have a electric Guitar signal independent of an acustic guitar signal. PRS Video: th-cam.com/video/w2in7FmuX-E/w-d-xo.html
I used to have a USA HB2 and a P22 and they would only sound good with the piezo running into a PA direct or acoustic amp, which is whats going on here, the piezo into a guitar amp isn’t worth buying this for, but great fun for stereo effects, looping etc
Yeah, that is a tough one for sure. Looking at all those instruments as well as listening to his great playing (and hair as Nils X so kindly mentioned) I believe you'd be fine picking either. Having the skill Jack has would be wonderful, however all those nice guitars could easily offset any lacking of talent as far as "feeling good about one's self"!
I disagree. They're made in arguably the best low-cost Asian factory in South Korea and it's full of great features you don't typically see on all imports, such as pickups that don't need to be swapped, neck and body binding, quality F-hole work, an LL Bragg piezo, properly dressed frets (demonstrated in another video), ect. Don't sit so high and mighty on your American throne that you refuse to accept that an imported guitar can be worth over a grand. This isn't a normal SE.
It's about 1/3 the cost of the core model and about 1/2 the cost of the low end Gibson 335. SE is also no longer the low cost division of PRS. That goes to SE Standard.
@Hulk Hogan You’re right about that, but built by Cor-Tek (aka Cort), which is a Korean company. They are impeccably made, no slop in the QA, and sound beautiful.
Wow so far I've seen 4 reviews of this SE Hollowbody II Piezo, and this channel showed the acoustic piezo sound the best
agreed

Makes me want to sell off some of my SE collection and get one
Part of it is a lot of those idiots don't strum/pick at the right place of the neck for different purposes.
Thank You for the great demo of this guitar.

Best sounding demo of this guitar I've seen so far. Now, if only someone had them in stock!
The piezo sounded CRAZY good here. Best one I have heard yet
I just purchased the 2408 se standard and now this will be next in my collection 👌👌
Just got one Thursday. They are legit. Im in love with it. It has an incredible voice and really sings and the quality is really impressive. Its a 10
Just ordered one. Glad to hear it's good.
@@williamstevens7648 Me too, just now!
For those that want a push pull single coil ability, the pickups are already compatible for the modification.
I love the 85/15s. Have them in my s2
Good demo. I have watched so many demos of this guitar and I am planning on picking one up in the next few weeks.
FWIW, you also get a hardshell case with the existing lower priced Hollowbody and Hollowbody II SE models without the piezo. 😁

Tried to buy one off your website yesterday. Either not working or out of stock
1. Click through to the video of Jack playing anything.
2. Click the Like button.
3. Watch the video.
This is the only video I’ve seen where the piezo sounds great . I’d like this in a single cut version
Proper musician.Thanks
Great job as usual Jack, just love the acoustic sound.

If it's a 22 fret, and doesn't have a tremolo. It can't be a versatile guitar. On the contrary, it's the most gorgeous PRS ever!
What would you say is the most versatile PRS if not this one?
@@ethanpunto9222 Obviously a 24 fret with a tremolo and a coil split which ought to cover all lengths of styles for a 6 string guitar
I wish they all had the same inlays, still very classy guitars.
What?

Not my style of guitar sound but wow these look like they hit the nail on the head for the people who like this stuff
I really enjoyed this review. And what a greaaat guitar
Can you put the piezo into an acoustic pedalboard/preamp and electric into a different output?
This was answered in the video thank you
Yes

Jack, you seem to imply that by turning the volume pot off on the piezo will save battery. Is this in addition to the dedicated mag jack?
Thank you for the nice demo
Does this guitar require a 9v battery in the back?
Yes
Question - what is the amp on your right (video left) in fhe video? Not fhe *z* or the orange - the other one. Thanks!
Hi There! That's a Two-Rock Classic Reverb Signature. It's one of our favourites!
@Peach Guitars, What is your gear/signal path for the piezo sound?
Did you put these on your web site? unable to find them PRS SE Hollowbody II Piezo all that is there are the old ones
Hey Doug, they made it to the website but sold as quickly as they arrived! Drop us a line at info@peachguitars.com and we'll see if we can help you!
Doug if you didn't get one theres a few available now
This sounds better than the one in the official PRS demo. What amp are you running them through?
The Dr. Z Max 38 was lit up. That’s what Jack tends to use.
Fully answered in the video.
@@davidburke2132 yeah, it's like, what guitar is that and where can I buy one?

Not sure wanting all the guitars in there or his skills :o
Or his hair... Lol

It’s not a global tone. The tone pot is only for the magnetic pickups.
China or Korea? Please tell me Korea!!!!!
Jam Tayo China
William B thanks 😓
@@williamb4652 Really? I thought all all SE models are made by 'World Musical Instruments Co' with is located in Korea.

Sell your kid, buy a guitar... Well, actually in the case of PRS, half a guitar:-7
Too expensive for an SE
