Watch
Why it matters
The Core Hollowbody II Piezo is listed at $6,160 at Sweetwater, well beyond the SE Hollowbody II that most players encounter first. The model combines magnetic pickups with a piezo system, so one guitar can cover electric and acoustic-adjacent parts. Top grade is the other variable, since PRS sells 10-top versions at a significant premium.
Note
Chambered piezo-equipped hollow flagship.
