PRS Wood Library Hollowbody II Piezo - Violet Blue Burst This Wood Library Hollowbody II is an absolute stunner, representing the pinnacle of Paul Reed Smith's craftsmanship and material selection. Because this is a "Wood Library" build, the tonewoods were hand-selected from PRS's private reserves, resulting in a combination you won't find on standard production models. The construction is a marvel of resonance, featuring a sandwich of a mahogany middle frame flanked by a "10-Top" Figured Maple top and a matching "10-Top" Figured Maple back. However, the real showstopper here is the solid East Indian Rosewood neck capped with Gaboon Ebony. This neck wood choice offers a unique tactile experience—smooth and unfinished—while adding a complex, dark warmth to the attack that maple necks simply can't replicate. Sonically, this instrument is the ultimate Swiss Army knife for the gigging professional or studio wizard. It is loaded with PRS 58/15 LT ("Low Turn") pickups, which capture the sweetness and clarity of vintage humbuckers from the late 50s. But the secret weapon is the LR Baggs/PRS Piezo system. With dual output jacks, you can plug into an electric amp and an acoustic DI simultaneously, blending the magnetic warmth with sparkling acoustic tones on the fly. This model has been the weapon of choice for versatile players who need to cover massive sonic ground without switching guitars, a legacy upheld by touring pros and session aces worldwide. For 2024, this build features PRS's updated wing-button tuners. Designed to echo the bird wingspan inlay, these lightweight buttons aren't just for looks; their reduced mass allows the strings to vibrate more freely, transferring more energy into the wood for increased sustain and a more musical fundamental note. Whether you are chasing the high-gain searing leads of players like Mark Tremonti or the complex chordal work of jazz fusion, this Hollowbody II handles it with elegance and authority.
