PRS SE Hollowbody II Piezo VSB review
The PRS SE Hollowbody II Piezo VSB combines a hollowbody design with two magnetic humbuckers and a piezo system. Its listed specifications identify the construction materials, scale length, controls, bridge, and included gig bag, but they do not provide measurements for the body's internal chambers or details about the piezo electronics. This review therefore stays with the available product information rather than making claims about tone, comfort, or performance that cannot be verified from the specifications.
The model is listed at $1,429 and has been available since October 2025. Its color is Vintage Sunburst, shortened to VSB in the model name. PRS identifies it as a hollowbody guitar, not a semi-hollowbody guitar. A gig bag is included, while a hard case is not listed as part of the package.
Body and neck construction
The body has a laminated flamed maple top, a maple back, and mahogany sides. The neck is also mahogany, while the fingerboard is ebony. These details distinguish the wood used in each part rather than treating the instrument as having a single, uniform body material. The product information does not state the body's thickness, chamber layout, or total weight.
The neck has a Wide Fat profile and a 635 mm scale length, equivalent to 25 inches. Its fingerboard has 22 frets and Old School Birds inlays. A bone nut is specified. No fret size, fingerboard radius, neck finish, or nut width is provided, so those details cannot be assessed from the listing.
Magnetic pickups and piezo system
For its magnetic pickup system, the guitar uses two PRS 58/15 LT "S" humbuckers in an HH configuration. The controls include one magnetic volume control and one tone control. A three-way toggle switch is also specified. The available information does not explain the switch positions or provide a wiring diagram, so it does not establish exactly how the magnetic pickups are combined in each position.
A separate piezo volume control is provided alongside the magnetic volume control. The bridge is a PRS adjustable piezo stoptail, linking the bridge design to the instrument's piezo system. Two input sockets are listed, described as serving magnetic pickups and piezo/magnetic use. The wording does not explain the complete signal-routing options, output levels, or whether additional switching is available. Those points should be confirmed with PRS or a dealer if the output arrangement is central to a purchase decision.
Hardware and included equipment
- Bridge: PRS adjustable piezo stoptail.
- Tuning machines: PRS-designed machine heads.
- Hardware finish: Nickel.
- Included protection: PRS SE gig bag.
- Not included: A case is not listed as included.
The adjustable bridge and separate piezo control are the clearest functional distinctions in the specification sheet. The listing does not give adjustment ranges, setup guidance, or piezo component details. It also does not identify the gig bag's padding or construction, so the included bag should not be assumed to offer the protection of a hard case.
What the specifications establish
On paper, the PRS SE Hollowbody II Piezo VSB is defined by its hollowbody construction, maple and mahogany body materials, ebony fingerboard, two humbuckers, and a separate piezo control. The 25-inch scale length and 22-fret layout provide further reference points for players comparing neck and fretboard specifications. Its controls and two output sockets suggest that the magnetic and piezo systems have distinct roles, though the supplied information does not fully document their operation.
No customer reviews are available for this product. That means there is no user feedback here to support conclusions about tuning stability, acoustic volume, amplified tone, setup consistency, or long-term reliability. Those areas require direct testing or additional verified reports. The listed specifications can guide a shortlist, but they cannot replace trying the guitar or checking its exact signal routing.
Verdict
The PRS SE Hollowbody II Piezo VSB has a clearly specified combination of hollowbody construction, PRS 58/15 LT "S" humbuckers, and a piezo-equipped stoptail bridge. Its separate magnetic and piezo volume controls are relevant details for anyone considering both systems. At $1,429, buyers should verify the output behavior and feel of the Wide Fat neck in person where possible. The supplied facts establish what the instrument includes, but not how it sounds or performs in use.
Shipping and duties

The last word from the bench
This model offers magnetic pickups and piezo output, with two input sockets for its pickup configurations. Its maple top and back, mahogany sides and neck, ebony fingerboard, and adjustable piezo stoptail define the listed construction. The included gig bag is useful, but buyers who require a hard case will need to obtain one separately. At 1429, it is best suited to players who will use its dual pickup system.
