58 is short for 1958, the year the pickup is based on, and 15 represents 2015, the year PRS began producing the pickup. The guitar is equipped with two 58/15 “S” humbucking pickups which have a vintage voicing but modern clarity. The truss rod cover on the headstock is black and features the word “Piezo” on it. The inlays really stand out in that they are abalone bird inlays without a border and are some of the nicest PRS inlays we have seen. The 25-inch scale ebony fretboard has a bone nut, 22 frets, and a comfortable 10-inch radius. The mahogany neck features PRS’ familiar, wide fat profile, with a dark mocha gloss finish. The binding all along the body, the F holes, and the neck are also flamed maple and are quite unique and exquisite. The middle wood is mahogany with a dark mocha gloss color. The body of the Hollowbody II Piezo features a five-ply maple top and back with a glossy flamed maple veneer. Baggs/PRS designed Piezo system, and the neck features a PRS wide fat neck profile. It comes with PRS 58/15 “S” pickups, a PRS adjustable stoptail equipped with a new L.R. This guitar is a true hollowbody albeit with a slim profile, so it’s still comfortable for players more accustomed to solid body guitars. It features a classic, familiar PRS body shape.

The PRS Hollowbody II Piezo we reviewed was a black gold burst, double cutaway, double humbucker guitar with added Piezo pickups in the stoptail bridge. Baggs/PRS designed Piezo does not disappoint! Features We are giant fans of Piezo-equipped electrics, and the PRS SE Hollowbody II Piezo equipped with the 58/15 “S” pickups and L.R. So, when PRS announced an SE version, we suspected that it would become one of the most popular guitars in the lineup, and after playing this guitar, we have no doubt that you’ll be seeing a lot of these beauties in the hands of PRS players. The PRS Hollowbody Piezo is one of PRS’ premium guitars, but that top-of-the-range instrument requires a chunk of change to afford. 3.6 stars or better: Outstanding, WIHO AwardĢ stars or better: Suited to specific needs
