Paul Reed Smith Hollowbody II Piezo Charcoal Smokeburst
Paul Reed Smith Hollowbody II Piezo Charcoal Smokeburst
Serial Number: 0416894
Weight: 5.62 lbs.
The Paul Reed Smith Hollowbody II Piezo 10 Top in Charcoal Smokeburst is two guitars in one case — a fully hollow, Maryland-built PRS with a figured maple 10 Top and back, mahogany sides, and the LR Baggs/PRS piezo system that lets you run true acoustic tones, electric humbucker tones, or any blend of the two. The Charcoal Smokeburst finish in high-gloss nitro shows off that 10 Top figuring in dramatic fashion, framed by scraped binding for a clean, natural edge. Fully hollow construction with the maple top-and-back/mahogany-side recipe delivers the airy resonance and note clarity this model is loved for, and at a feather-light 5.62 lbs., it's the kind of guitar that disappears on the strap through a three-set night.
The mahogany set neck carries PRS's Pattern Vintage carve (7/8" at the 1/2 fret, 61/64" at the 12 1/2 fret) — a slightly fuller, vintage-leaning profile that pairs beautifully with the hollowbody's woody voice. A rosewood fretboard with signature bird inlays runs a 10" radius across 22 frets and a 25" scale length, topped with a 1 11/16" PRS nut and a rosewood-veneer headstock with inlaid signature logo. The PRS adjustable Piezo stoptail bridge houses the acoustic side of the equation, while Phase III non-locking tuners with wing buttons and nickel hardware round out the package.
Electrically, a pair of PRS McCarty III humbuckers delivers that vintage-inspired vocal midrange and warm, clear top end, with a push/pull tone control for coil-split single-coil textures and a 3-way pickup selector. Dedicated magnetic and piezo volume controls let you blend acoustic shimmer into your electric tone through a single output, or run the two dedicated output jacks separately — electric rig on one side, acoustic amp or DI to the board on the other. Whether you're a session player who needs every texture in one instrument, a jazz or fusion guitarist chasing hollowbody warmth without the weight, or a worship or theater player covering acoustic and electric parts in the same set, this is the do-it-all machine. This PRS Hollowbody II Piezo 10 Top (Serial #0416894) includes a PRS hardshell case. Order today from Brian's Guitars, your authorized PRS dealer.
