Wasn't looking for anything new, really just enjoying what I have. Then I saw the post here about the new SE Hollowbody II Piezo. Once I watched a couple of the videos, especially Brian E's from PRS and I had to go try one.
I contacted the PRS dealer here in Seattle, but they were still in shutdown and only doing online sales. I wanted to try one first and I lucked out that their sister store in Port Townsend only a short ferry ride away was available for appointments. I called and arranged to try both colors they had and my wife and I made a day of it.
I had only tried a hollowbody years ago that a friend owned but never really "played it". I picked this one up and I knew in the first couple minutes that I was taking this one home. I can only describe it as an absolute joy to play, it's a "fun" guitar that feels good in my hands and I am enjoying these 58/15's. Its been fun so far experimenting using with both jacks, one into my tube amp and the other direct into my PA and blending the volumes for the piezo and mag pickups. Super Fun!
Obviously have my wife to thank since she puts up with my "hobbies" and special Thanks to James at "The Guitar Store" for being so patient and kind. He made me a smokin' deal.
Cant have an NGD without pics and by the way, Thanks guys, without all of you enablers, where would I be? I know where I'd be, a few less PRSi and some extra cash in my pocket, but what fun would that be.....
Love the binding on this one.
Yep, had to swap out the orange knobs for some clear/black/amber lampshades.
