Singlecut Hollowbody I Production Years?

[walrus]

I'm trying to chase down a Single Cut Hollowbody, and Iwas wondering - from what I can gather from the PRS price lists, the SCHB I was only available in 2008 and 2009. Is this correct?

No sure, but mine was an '08.

That sounds right. Mine is 2009. Good luck!

Thanks!

SC HB IIs were in production for longer, though, so if you like a pretty back as well as top/front, you can look at those.

Mine’s from 2008 with solid maple top, 245 pickups, wide-fat neck with East-Indian rosewood ‘board. As far as I know the SC Hollowbody have one-piece sides and back created by hollowing out a slab of solid mahogany, whereas the HB II models are made of separate top, back and side (i.e. more like a regular archtop). To my ears, this makes a huge difference. Not better, not worse, just different.

My SC Hollowbody is a beast. Only thing I don’t like about it is the lack of a treble bleed cap.

Yeah, mine's a II, so was much more recent. And no, it's definitely not for sale.

According to the PRS price lists, the Singlecut HB I was available in 2008-09 while the Singlecut HB II in various configurations was available in 2010-2016.

I remember when the SCHBI was introduced in 2008, along withe the SCHB Standard. I was jonesing for one of these and, by kismet, was able to acquire a used 2009 SCHBI in September 2009. I am still loving it. I think that PRS might do well to reintroduce this model at some point in the future.

Best of luck in your search...

...I was on a similar search, but got sick of looking (and I had particular options I wanted) so I had one built!!
