About the Guitar
With brilliant acoustics and a vast array of tones, the PRS Hollowbody II has been a constant favorite in PRS’s dynamic lineup of semi-hollow instruments. The combination of the ‘ten-top’ maple top and back with mahogany sides provides tonal clarity and extraordinary resonance.

The PRS/LR Baggs Piezo System comes standard, providing musicians with the versatility of wielding both acoustic and electric guitar tones in one instrument. There are two output jacks on the Hollowbody II, allowing guitarists to plug into their favorite electric guitar or acoustic guitar amp or DI into a soundboard. By utilizing the separate blend control, the tone of the Hollowbody II’s 57/08 pickups can also be combined with acoustic sounds through a single output.
