    Battery dies in my SE HB II Piezo

    Looks like we have a bunch of wisenheimers in class today... I pulled the board to see what it looks like in there, and if I could identify the "doohickey". I would have to say, the wiring on this isn't simple or traditional. A picture is worth a thousand words (or in this case solder joints)...

    Battery dies in my SE HB II Piezo

    I purchased through Sweetwater, just got off the phone with their tech team. They are going to diagnose and replace parts under their 30 day warranty. I was hoping for a simpler solution but due to the complexity of the circuit and availability of replacement parts this seems to be the solution...

    Battery dies in my SE HB II Piezo

    Yup it's being put on the stand with the cables unplugged. I wish that was the simple fix, but it's not.

    Battery dies in my SE HB II Piezo

    I did email them prior to posting this, the response was asking if we want to ship it to them. I would love to avoid that if possible.... I may call them and see if there are any troubleshooting steps I can take prior to shipping it out.

    Battery dies in my SE HB II Piezo

    Recently aquired a new, beautiful SE HB II Piezo. It had a dead battery when it arrived. Didn't think much of it and replacemed it. That one died in 7 days. Changed that one and it died in 10 days. Play it about 7-9 hours a week. It is stored with the cable unplugged. Does anyone know what...

    Relic’ed Silver Sky?

    That's not for me at all.

    PRS SE Hollowbody II Piezo

    This info is helpful. Just took delivery of mine and the Piezo is significantly hotter than the mags. As in any volume over 3 gets dirty. I will have to make the adjustment once the rest of the setup is finished.

    PRS Hollowbody II SE supposed to flex this much?

    Top pic is looking through the F hole, where the neck is glued to the back of the body. There is darker wood than the surrounding, that is the knot in the wood. Within that knot there is a darker line that is a fisher or split. It is on the bass strings side. 2nd pic is just a different angle...

    PRS Hollowbody II SE supposed to flex this much?

    Wanted to let those who supplied input know that I ended up sending the guitar back to SW. I believe I found the flaw that was causing the creaking and note sharping issues. Looks like this one shouldn't have made it through QC? The lumber used for the neck had a decent knot in it and that knot...

    SE Hollowbody 2, which hard case?

    Should have come in a hard case. Granted not a great one, but a step above a gig bag. Did you get it used or something?

    PRS Hollowbody II SE supposed to flex this much?

    I have been messing around with it a bit. The bridge seems very solid. I can press on a few spots around the top and get a little pitch change. This leads me down the path of this is just a very light weight guitar that's sensitive. I can see movement in the strings when I press the neck. But...

    Silver Sky defect? :(

    Call me crazy, I think it looks good. Shows a transition from wood types and its natural grain. The grain directly behind the nut could use some PRS fret oil, that will fill in some of the off color parts, but other than that its not worth the shipping costs, hassle or heartache to fix in my...

    PRS Hollowbody II SE supposed to flex this much?

    Thanks for the responses, I played it for about 2 hours last night, I am really on the fence. Love this thing, just that little nagging thought that it may not be perfect. I did some flex testing on my custom 24 and it's not all that much worse, but still worse.

    PRS Hollowbody II SE supposed to flex this much?

    First post to the forum, hello everyone! I recently purchased my second SE, this time its a black burst Hollowbody II (from sweetwater). (my 8th guitar) My concern is the guitar has a lot of flex, like I can sharp notes just by my strumming arm resting on it a bit. I can get a 1/4 step just by...
