PRS Paul Reed Smith Hollowbody II Electric Guitar, 10-Top, Ebony Fingerboard, Hardshell Case - Black Gold Burst

This PRS Hollowbody II, finished in black gold, features a carved flame maple 10-Top with mahogany sides and a flame maple matching back. The maple provides a crisp, snappy response, the mahogany balances out the lows, and the hollow construction provides warmth and depth. The mahogany Pattern neck has an ebony fretboard with Bird inlays and 22 frets. Electronically, this guitar is decked out with PRS's 58/15 pickups. These are some of the best new pickups PRS has made. They provide a vintage warmth that the 57/08's used to, but they're slightly hotter to suit today's guitar player's needs a bit better. They interact a bit better with pedals and tube amps by having ever so slightly more output than the 57/08 did. There's also an LR Baggs Piezo that can be mixed and matched with the 58/15, giving you endless electric and acoustic sound options. The PRS Stoptail bridge and Phase III Locking Tuners keep everything in tune very well and make for easy string changes. This guitar is a tonal investment that'll provide years and years of service in the studio and on stage.
