Which Hollowbody is Russ DeFilippis playing?

[matonanjin]

Russ DeFilippis may be a new name to many of us. But I'm sure Jeff McErlain is not. Jeff is one of the most popular teachers on TrueFire. And very often sports his McCarty 594 on his video's. In this video Jeff is interviewing Russ who, as I understand it, was Jeff's guitar teacher. The video is called "Making the Blues Changes".

What I can't figure out is what HB Russ is playing. The truss rod cover says "HollowBody" but I don't think it says "Hollowbody II". Given the position of the Pickup switch, not on the horn, its's not a 594 HB.

But it has the pickup switch, the coil tapping toggles, but yet another switch in between the volume and tone controls.

Anyone? What PRS is this?

An interesting video for anyone that has the time.

Definitely not a 594 guitar. Appears to be the late-model "Hollowbody II Piezo" with the addition of those coil-tap switches that are indicated in the picture. That little "what's this" switch is another 3-way toggle for electric vs. piezo/acoustic vs. blended (which is standard on the HB II Piezo guitars).

It isn’t a standard model. HBII with coil split mini toggles added.
Kind of what I would expect Tosca to do.

Interestingly, or coincidentally, a similarly modified SE HB II Piezo sold on Reverb, today.

Toggles are in the wrong position for Tosca!
