Update - still loving this SE HB Piezo. Actually, more every time I play it. So much so that I should hopefully have a Trans-Cherry 594 SE SC next week from SW complete with a set of 58/15's, locking tuners and a FREE PLEK and set up! That should complete the collection. Can NOT wait...
I wanted somethling like the Gibby '57 classics I had in an Epi 339 I had and these seemed like the way to go in PRS-land but more natural sounding (if that makes any sense). They certainly fit the bill. Plus, I read this description and this sounded very intriguing to me. While the stock...
Just got my SE HB II Piezo back from the shop with the PRS 57/08's in it. GLORIOUS!! I see why some say they are perfect :). Along with the PRS locking tuners I'm all set. What a guitar!
FWIW I JUST picked up my SE Piezo II HB from the shop. It now has PRS 57/08's installed and it sounds GLORIOUS. I also put in a set of the PRS locking tuners and I'm in heaven. What a guitar. I have about $1900 into it between the pups and tuners. Worth every penny.
I believe John told me something like I’d have to buy a specific preamp to replace the electronics as what he has wouldn’t work with it. It would have been expensive as you can see. After he told me the cost I lost track of the specifics :)
You're a brave man with some experience drilling holes in guitars apparently :). Where will you put the 2nd volume control? Not a lot of room there. The locking tuners are an amazing upgrade. Instant tone improvment IMHO and rock-solid tuning.. Ordered from SW and the tuners popped up on...
Thanks for the idea - just ordered a set of the 57/08's for my HBII Piezo I just received :). Along with the PRS locking tuners I installed I will be all set.
Here's my one and only currently. SE HBii Piezo. I have put a NGD thread up. What at guitar! Loving it. I have to let the smoke clear before finding another (read---pay some bills!!! :))
Thanks! Also, if anyone is searching for it - I checked with John Mann about upgrading the bridge and all told it would cost between $750 and $800 which to me is a bit steep. The stock bridge is just fine :)
Hi all - fairly new member here. Took delivery of a PRS SE Hollowbody ii Piezo in the Peacock Blue Burst. Really nice guitar. Fit and finish is flawless. I was really interested in this because of the piezo option. Nice to have some great acoustic sounds to enjoy. This guitar is really...
As a pretty new member around here this thread has been a heckuva read this morning. A good group of people here. For a short time I owned a 594 10-top and a CE24. Both great guitars I couldn't hang on to at the time. I've never played a top-level LP so I wouldn't know the answer to the OP...
