Incoming NGD Hollow be thy name

[tyfu20]

So I was browsing the Bay which I haven't done in forever and came across this SE Hollow body that the owner was gracious enough to add these mods to bring it up to the newer Hollowbody II Piezo features with some bonuses for under the cost of a new Standard. Can't wait to play this, it's coming from within state (Florida), so it shouldn't be long!

Sweet!

Nice...I guess the seller just likes to tinker....or burn money.

He said that he intended on using it live, but due to current circumstances he didn't see that happening anytime soon. I have an acoustic duo gig in a couple of weeks that I will definitely be breaking it out for.

 

[veinbuster]

That will be nice.

 

[unretrofiedforu]

love it , I like that color over the blue burst

 

[bodia]

That's a sweet score!

 

[DISTORT6]

Awesome!
Great looking SE. I had to do a double-take.

 

[Davey]

Congrats! Thats a great find.

So it got here yesterday right when I was wrapping up work and this is definitely a well crafted instrument as others have stated before. I love the neck and feel of the guitar, well balanced. Same pickups as my S2 McCarty, but the hollowbody does what it does and gives greater depth to the sound.
As far as the added Graphtech acoustic, I played it through a few of the acoustic IR's on my Headrush pedalboard and it sounds ridiculously huge. Can't wait to use it live in a couple of weeks. Definitely will be having some fun with this puppy.

Congrats and enjoy!

One of my buddies, who is not really a PRS guy, acquired a SE acoustic this past year and he plays it more than this OLD Martin and parlor. That led to him grabbing a used SE Holowbody II like the one the OP got and he hasn't stopped raving about it. This is a guy with plenty of electrics, including jazz boxes.

Glad you like it!! (yeah I was the seller)
It is a really nice guitar but yeah, I think the live playing is done for a while. The CE24 in my avatar also has a piezo so I really didn't need two.
I also run the piezo through acoustic IR's (with a Helix instead) .

Hey Pete, gigs are back up and running down here in S Fla(we'll see for how long). Did you put the Graphtech in the CE as well?

Yep, the CE has the same setup as the hollowbody. Before that I had a CE22 with a Graphtech Floyd Rose and an Edwards Les Paul with a GraphTech tuneomatic.

Before the corona, I was just starting to put a group together with my old bassist from a Rush tribute band. Maybe next year we'll get it moving again.
