P22 Piezo vs CE24 Semi Hollow vs HB II through Acoustic Amp?

[rogercanada]

I have owned a HB II piezo so I know how good I thought it sounded through my acoustic amp.

I am considering a P22 with Piezo and a CE24 Semi Hollow. I am wondering what type of acoustic tones would I get from these through an acoustic amp compared to the HB II Piezo I had?

Also, my HB II was pretty loud for unplugged tinkering. Will the CE24 Semi Hollow be useful/loud enough for unplugged practice at home?

The P22 will be very similar to the HB using the piezo through the acoustic amp. The CE24 might sound nice, but it won't sound acoustic through an amp. I practice unplugged with a thinline Tele, and I really enjoy it that way, the CE should be similar.

I have 2 HB piezo PRS guitars and 2 solid body P22 (one trem one stop tail) PRS guitars. They all sound pretty much the same through a Fishman Aura run straight to a mixer.

Thank you, I assumed the semi hollow would be good through the acoustic amp for tones like my HB II but not the case? I guess without the piezo it wont work well then.

If it doesn't have a piezo system in it, it will sound much different because you would be running the magnetic pickups into an acoustic amp.
