What's the difference between these two?

[mr_spoons]

I'm looking at listings and found these two:

PRS SC 250 HB II Piezo
and a
PRS HB-II Piezo

they look the same so I am wondering what's the difference between them?

Thanks

SC = Singlecut body.
Never heard of a SC250 HB, though.

 

[mr_spoons]

Thanks for the reply. Is one more superior or just different tone?

 

[mr_spoons]

Never mind, I'm a dullard.

It’s just a SC HB, you can drop the 250

That's partly why I asked on here, I don't know what was meant by it on the seller's description. Any idea?

250 would indicate a 25” scale length as opposed to an sc245 which has a 24.5” scale length

nice guitar, congrats!

Ah I see, thanks. Apparently, someone else had it in their basked, hmmm, so I was suffering from a bit of panicy indecision, I already missed out on one I was looking at earlier today. Glad I went for it now.

Great snag!

Thanks. Do you think it was a good price? Seemed like a bargain to me.

It’s hard to comment on a price in Sweden.
If it feels like good value to you, it’s a good price.
Very nice guitar. I’d commit to being happy with it and not think of the price again.

Oh we're going to get along just fine, no worries there. It's just that I've been looking around and haven't seen a core HB II Peizo for anywhere near that price.

I'm with VB.
Tough to gauge prices in another country. But for me? All in!

Thanks. It was described as "Never used" which is odd. They don't seem to make A Singlecut HB Piezo any more, and although it may limit access to the top of the neck I'm looking for something with more of a woody airy tone, so the extra area should help there.

It's arriving Thursday, can't wait.

Beautiful guitar!

 

[DISTORT6]

WOW!
Both the top AND back have some great figuring.

Congratulations that’s a beauty!

Nice score! Lovely color! Probably bought by someone who just kept it cased and used their other guitars. Or maybe "New Old Stock" hanging out in a guitar store all these years.

I have a SC HBII, and access to the higher frets is not an issue - no different than any other SC body, your hand just adapts and the thumb slips down a bit more. I love the tones I get out of mine!

As for price (and this is a discontinued product, so I don't feel uncomfortable discussing it): That seems reasonable for an export market like Sweden. For the US that would be OK, maybe a bit on the high end.

Yeah, they stopped production a few years ago - presumably because of Paul's mantra: if you stop buying them, we stop making them.
