2004 Paul Reed Smith Hollowbody II Piezo Artist Package Violin Amber Burst w/ Case, Tags
Up for sale, a 2004 Paul Reed Smith Hollowbody II Piezo Artist Package in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case and hangtags. This fully hollowbody PRS model features premium options via the Artist Package including choice artist grade flame maple on top and back, gold hardware, and paua inlays on the fretboard and peghead. This particular Hollowbody II is also loaded from the factory with a L.R. Baggs/PRS Piezo pickup Bridge System (another optional add-on), making this among the more versatile PRS models of its era.
The fully hollow body features a carved flame maple top and back with mahogany rims, and this guitar has a broad and detailed acoustic response, downright acoustic-esque in its nature. The McCarty Archtop humbuckers do a remarkable job of capturing the natural breadth and immediacy of the instrument; these pickups are more than just an underwound McCarty, really offering a character all their own, spongy and sweet with a focused upper-midrange punch and terrific harmonic detail. Additionally, the L.R. Baggs/PRS Piezo Bridge System enables brassy, natural-sounding piezo tones, with an optional independent output for the piezo and a Blend knob to dial in the perfect balance. This Hollowbody II Artist Package is featherweight at 5lbs 12oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
