Never been to Peach in person. Service on the phone seemed better than Anderton's actually though. Maybe I got lucky each time, but whoever I spoke to seemed to know plenty about the higher-end guitars, and felt like they were willing to spend as much time chatting about the guitars as I wanted...

Noticeably less than my custom 24! This is the one I bought: https://www.peachguitars.com/prs-hollowbody-ii-piezo-aquamarine-58-15lt.htm?opt=24872 The shop weighed it as 5lb11oz

Please stop... I've seen enough. I'm super happy with the guitar (it arrived today: https://forums.prsguitars.com/threads/ngd.50256/ ) but these pictures are enough to give me nightmares. I'm going to forget about the wall cases and keep this one in its case when not playing it.

Thanks. I'd definitely rate it as my sexiest guitar. And I don't think I only say that because it has a hole.

Thanks, that's reassuring to hear.

Some background: I already own a Core Custom 24 and an American Ultra Strat, and wanted something hollow to round out my collection. I don't want to be 'a collector', but do want to cover all the bases in as few guitars as possible, and as lovely guitars as possible. And I think this one makes...

Some will have seen my other thread deciding what to buy... well it arrived today. Can you guess? I've had a little bit of a fiddle already, and I'm happy so far. This evening I'll swap the buttons out for Schaller locks so I can put my strap on it and give it a more extensive play.

*gasp* That's way worse than I expected. I assumed PRS were just covering themselves in case people noticed a little bit of fade. But to get to that in 4 years is way beyond the top end of my expectations. That's decided then - I'm treating this new guitar like it's a vampire or something. I'll...

I've also had some advice from PRS. No mention of humidity and temperature from them, but the main concern was for fading of the blue finish. He wouldn't say how bad it was, just said that the blue dye fades if left out of the case and isn't covered by PRS lifetime warranty, sorry for any...

Thanks both of you. I've ordered a hygrometer to test how the room is now.

I like to have my guitars out for a couple of reasons - because I play them more often if I can see them, and because they look good. At the moment, I just have one stand, so I alternate the guitars to always have one on there. My 3rd guitar is arriving on Tuesday, and I'm thinking of other...

Update... I've got over my reservations of these not looking how a hollowbody is 'supposed' to look. I loved the look, sound and feel, so that's enough for me. I'm getting a Hollowbody II Piezo in Aquamarine. I had to order it to be delivered... I can only find 2 available in the country, and...

Thanks for the in-depth responses, especially @Moondog Wily I had seen the colour options on that page, but they don't show the sides. Which options have the natural wood side? I think the McCarty I saw in the shop that had it was Trampas green, but the piezo with the black sides was whale...

Thanks. I definitely agree with you that it's the better instrument. Just a question of whether it's the best for what I want now. My C24 is a super versatile guitar. I initially assumed that these hollow PRS would be too similar. But having heard them, maybe not actually. Anybody got any idea...

Hi. I've been away from the forum for a while - I joined soon after this purchase: https://forums.prsguitars.com/threads/my-belated-ngd-thread.41816/ I bought that thinking it's such a lovely and versatile guitar that I wouldn't want another one. I was wrong. I recently added a S/S/S strat (yes...
