PRS Hollowbody II Piezo Purple Iris 10 Top Electric Guitar

Quick Product Summary

The PRS Hollowbody II Piezo Purple Iris 10 Top is a premium USA-made hollowbody electric guitar combining exceptional figured maple, rich acoustic resonance and an enormously versatile electric and piezo pickup system.

Its carved figured maple top and back surround mahogany sides, while the striking Purple Iris finish showcases the depth of the premium figuring. A pair of PRS 58/15 LT humbuckers provides articulate vintage-inspired electric tones, while the integrated LR Baggs/PRS Piezo system adds convincing acoustic-style sounds that can be used independently or blended with the magnetic pickups.

What Makes the PRS Hollowbody II Piezo Special?

The Hollowbody II Piezo is designed to bridge the gap between premium hollowbody electric and acoustic-style performance. Its carved maple top and back, mahogany middle construction and fully hollow design produce a lively, resonant character with excellent definition, while the 10 Top specification gives this Purple Iris example particularly striking figured maple.

Its electronics significantly expand what the guitar can achieve on stage or in the studio. Two PRS 58/15 LT humbuckers deliver clear, open electric tones, while the LR Baggs/PRS Piezo system captures acoustic-style sounds through six individual piezo bridge saddles. Magnetic and piezo sounds can be selected independently, blended together or routed to separate amplification systems.

Who Is It For?

The PRS Hollowbody II Piezo is ideal for professional players, session musicians and performers who need both premium electric guitar tones and convincing acoustic-style sounds from a single instrument.

Its broad tonal range makes it particularly well suited to rock, blues, jazz, pop, country, worship, fusion and studio work. It is also an excellent choice for PRS enthusiasts looking for a highly figured USA Core instrument with the additional versatility of an integrated piezo system.

The piezo system can be used on its own or blended with the 58/15 LT humbuckers. Separate output options also allow the magnetic pickups to be routed to a conventional electric guitar amplifier while the piezo signal is sent to an acoustic amplifier, PA system or mixing desk.

FAQs

What does 10 Top mean on this PRS Hollowbody II Piezo?

The PRS 10 Top designation identifies specially selected figured maple with particularly strong and consistent figuring. On a Hollowbody II, the highly figured maple is a major part of both the instrument's premium appearance and its distinctive construction.

What is Purple Iris?

Purple Iris is a distinctive PRS finish combining rich purple tones with the natural figuring of the maple beneath it. The finish is particularly striking on a premium 10 Top because the flame pattern remains highly visible across the carved body.

Is the PRS Hollowbody II Piezo fully hollow?

Yes. The Hollowbody II uses PRS hollowbody construction rather than the chambered or semi-hollow construction found on some other models, creating a particularly resonant and responsive instrument.

What pickups are fitted?

This Purple Iris specification features two PRS 58/15 LT humbuckers, with one in the neck position and one at the bridge.

What does 58/15 LT mean?

LT stands for Low Turns. The 58/15 LT pickups are designed to produce a clear, open and vintage-inspired humbucker response with excellent note definition and dynamic sensitivity.

What does the piezo system do?

The LR Baggs/PRS Piezo system uses piezo elements within the bridge saddles to create an acoustic-style guitar signal. This allows the Hollowbody II Piezo to cover sounds that would normally require a separate acoustic or electro-acoustic guitar.

Can I combine the piezo and humbucker sounds?

Yes. One of the major strengths of the Hollowbody II Piezo is the ability to blend its magnetic pickups with the piezo system, producing layered tones that combine electric guitar warmth with acoustic-style definition.

Can the magnetic and piezo signals be sent to separate amplifiers?

Yes. The guitar's dual-output arrangement allows the signals to be routed separately. For example, the humbuckers can be connected to an electric guitar amplifier while the piezo system is sent to an acoustic amplifier, PA or mixing desk.

Does the piezo system require a battery?

Yes. The active piezo electronics are powered by a 9V battery. No external power supply is needed.

What neck profile does the guitar have?

It features PRS's Pattern neck profile, paired with a 25" scale length, 22 frets and a 10" radius rosewood fingerboard.

Does the guitar have locking tuners?

Yes. This Purple Iris specification is equipped with PRS Phase III locking tuners.

Is a case included?

Yes. A PRS hardshell case is included with the guitar.

Is the PRS Hollowbody II Piezo made in the USA?

Yes. This is a premium PRS Core instrument manufactured in the USA.

What styles of music is it suitable for?

Its combination of hollowbody resonance, 58/15 LT humbuckers and piezo electronics makes it exceptionally versatile. It is well suited to jazz, blues, rock, pop, country, fusion, worship, studio work and performances where both electric and acoustic-style tones are required.
