just wow....

I got a bargain PRS SE Hollowbody II from Andertons - display model, last one they had and its grubby but no dings or dents - and it's quite remarkable.

Despite needing new strings - which were promised but not sent! - it really does sound as good as any hollowbody guitar I've played including a proper ES330 and far better than several Casinos.  Its warm and sweet with the volume and tone down and it rocks like a bastard with a bit of gain. 

Its also light and so comfortable to play, as well as being soooo well made.

Brilliant to the point where I would say to anyone considering a hollow bodied guitar, try one of these before you buy anything else.

They do look very good.  Congrats on the purchase

PRS quality takes the piss (in a good way) (unless you are a rival manufacturer). Congrats

I sold mine and miss having one around.

Almost bought one from Bax a couple of weeks ago when they were selling them cheap, but as usual I procrastinated and missed out.  

I think someone on here has my old one now. 


Brilliant guitars, congrats!

I've had mine for around 10 months now and still loving it.

If the guitar came with a gigbag, check all of the zip-up compartments. Stuff might be lurking in there.

And I've done the Patreon thing so these take about five minutes to shoot, edit and upload.  Recommended.

Hard case with this one.  The only place I havenet checked is the box...

Wow! That looks great!

I love the look of that. I'd give some consideration to one of those if I could bring myself to part with some.

I have been through a number of expensive, and less expensive, hollow bodies over the last two years and they have all been returned or sold.  I wonder if it's because this was a shop floor model and it's been played a bit that's making it so good out of the box.

I think that the only thing that would improve this, well the only two things which would improve it, would be a P90 at the neck and nicer looking knobs.

I also expect it to sound better after a good clean up.....

Completely agree.

I’ve had mine (grey) for a couple of years now.  Probably my most played electric in that time.  So versatile.

Just wish I’d waited until the piezo equipped variant had been released - that would have been even more versatile!

The Standards are mahogany laminate so a little bit darker and sweeter than the maple laminate, but essentially the same.

I didn't pay much more than that...
