2022 PRS SE Hollowbody II Piezo Electric Guitar

This is a pretty impressive guitar. It's got the usual PRS feel but with a bit of a steeper radius -- a slim/medium-ish neck profile, 25" scale, and 9 1/2" radius (closer to an old Gibson or Fender). Add to that light weight, a pair of great-sounding PRS humbuckers (they just have a thing, don't they? -- a little toasty and creamy at the same time), and a piezo-infused bridge. You can get a lot of sounds out of this and it feels premium at the same time.

There's product blurb on these throughout the web but suffice to say, yes, it does handle a lot like an American-made PRS and sounds remarkably close to one. It's not quite as "alpha dog" in the hands but the sound and feel is very close to the hollowbody models that have been in here for setup. A lot of thought has gone in to making these feel luxurious while also being practical.
