Hollowbody

The LR Baggs/PRS 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 Piezo, allowing guitarists to plug into their favorite electric guitar or acoustic guitar amp or DI into a soundboard.

What is so special about PRS hollow body guitars?

PRS hollow body guitars stand out for several reasons. Firstly, they boast exceptional build quality and premium materials, ensuring a guitar that not only looks stunning but also feels great to play. Secondly, their hollow construction imbues them with a unique sonic character. The hollow body design allows the guitar's sound to breathe and resonate in a way that's different from solid body guitars, resulting in a warm, lively tone with excellent sustain. This versatility makes PRS hollow body guitars suitable for a wide range of musical genres, from smooth jazz to crunchy blues and even high-gain rock.

What are hollowbody electric guitars good for?

Hollowbody electric guitars excel in delivering a rich, organic sound that's perfect for genres where warmth and resonance are key. Picture the smooth, buttery tones of jazz standards, the twangy textures of blues licks, or the vintage charm of rockabilly riffs—hollowbody guitars can handle them all with finesse. Additionally, their acoustic-like qualities make them great for unplugged practice sessions or intimate performances. While they might not be the first choice for heavy distortion or extreme metal, hollowbody guitars offer a unique sonic palette that's beloved by many musicians.

What's the difference between hollow body and solid body?

he primary distinction between hollow-body and solid body guitars lies in their construction. Hollow body guitars, as the name suggests, feature a hollow chamber inside their bodies, similar to an acoustic guitar. This design allows the sound to resonate freely, resulting in a warmer, more rounded tone with plenty of natural sustain. On the other hand, solid body guitars have, well, solid bodies—no empty chambers inside. This construction lends them a brighter, more focused sound, making them well-suited for genres that require clarity and punch, such as rock and metal. Additionally, solid body guitars are generally lighter and less prone to feedback at high volumes compared to their hollow counterparts.
