SE Hollowbody Piezo!

This forum really needs a groan react...

You can always sub the eye roll

I had a sub on an eye roll for lunch today.

Groan.

Another video for you...

Interesting. I preferred the piezo tone of the SE, thought the Core sounded a bit muffled.

Me too! And I have heard other demos that had the same effect. To me...the SE sounds more "acoustic", and more "natural".

I bought one...in that great blue color. It's a winner! Put new Elixer strings on it, set the action lower, and truss rod tighter for a more level neck and it rings out incredibly well.

This was a major score for my collection, which has some high end Gibson stuff, including a 2018 Custom Shop 59 reissue with monster flame in HCS by Tom Murphy. This SE Hollowbody II Piezo is in that class. I will never part with it.

Another great video with the great Bryan Ewald too...

Sorry to ask and the answer might be obvious, but can I get some classic blues tones out of this guitar that evoke the sounds of Freddie King, B.B. King, Buddy Guy?

Not that I sound anything like the greats you are referencing, I saw this as I was about to return the SE HB Piezo I had for some demos. So I did a quick sample of my bluesy noodling for you... Hope this helps

(keep in mind this is just the iPhone mic)

Hahaha that was all I needed to hear. The EXACT tone I was hoping to get out of this beauty. Thank you Bryan! I am sold.

Edit: Also -- great playing, as usual! Big fan of your demos!

You’re too modest Bryan!

Thanks for sharing.

Bryan is a GEM ! He's cost me some serious cash this spring...SE Paul's & SE Hollowbody Standard.
I love his style, smooth and tasty.

Wow. Thanks.

That answers a lot of my questions about this guitar, too.

Can you tell us what amp and pedals you're playing through, here?

So I wasn't familiar with that pedal and found your video on it ... wow.

Just came across this on Reverb...looks fantastic! Color is called Peacock Blue, $1,549.

Looks exactly like mine. My iPhone camera could not take pictures this good to post...it just didn't do the instrument justice. It is such a fun guitar to play!!!
