An all rounder that does everything...
This is an absolute delight. Beautifully made and finished. A light to handle guitar but still very well balanced with no neck dive at all. The set up was done in the UK and done well too. The flamed maple bindings are gorgeous and the flamed maple veneers are good too although maybe not as '3D' as the solidbodys.
The magnetic pick-ups are sounding lovely with the sound difference purely from the positioning rather than different pups. Where this thing shines though is the piezo bridge pickup. It adds a new dimension and sounds amazing. add a bit of chorus from an effect and you're golden! The piezo also works very well with a EHX Bass 9 pedal giving surprisingly convincing bass tones.
I'm in love with this hollowbody and will be a joy for live performance because I play electric, acoustic and bass guitars with looping. using the EHX bass 9 pedal means I can perform a full gig with just one guitar instead of three and it really does not feel like a compromise.
The machine heads are not locking and I've found I need to tune up more than I'm used to, so I think I will swap in some after-market tuners with a hope that can be improved. Also I must remember to unplug the jack. The 9v battery runs itself down if you don't and that is just annoying. Although you would survive a gig because PRS have provided 2 jack sockets, one of which will just use the unpowered magnetic coils so it wouldn't be the end of the show!
At just shy of £1400 it's a little above mid range pricing but all in all, taking into account the quality of manufacture, the lightweight hard case included, playability, beauty, flexibility and tone, I regard this as a hands-down bargain. Delighted.Read full review
