Man, you are phenomenal. How on earth don't you have more subs? I play rock and blues mainly, but really wanted a hollowbody learn jazz and bossa nova. I was between this one and a Eastman t486, but after seeing your review I just decided. Thanks a lot
I was beginning to despair .. I have this guitar but cannot seem to get a good jazz tone . .. I can’t get hang of setting and only have a Marshall as50 d acoustic amp. Any advice on gauge of strings andflat wound versus round
@Hulk Hogan I personally don’t like the blend sound in a jazz context. However, it works well for fusion and crossover styles. But that is is just a taste thing. The guitar is really a well made instrument and the piezo system is the same in the US model so cost wise it makes sense.
Seems like a good option for a small guy like me. I'm worried the traditional jazz guitars would be too much to handle. I have no problems with an ES-335 though.
It is not too much of a stretch from a 335 to anything that is 16in. A 175 or a sadowsky have the same feel. The PRS feels more like a strat-meets-LP. They are very comfortable, but to be honest not much different than a 335 as far sound.
@@brucegregori Great review! I'm definitely looking forward to this guitar. This fits on a regular guitar case that can fit a PRS right? That's another reason to like this guitar.
Thanks for making this video! In a world full of blues players, this is what I want to know about this particular model of PRS. I do have small hands though so thats the only thing thats keeping me from purchasing a PRS. As they cater more for people who have large hands or people who are used to those thick vintage guitar necks.
Oh my gosh, great playing! Very musical and technical, both of which I need improvement! I have been on the fence about this for about year now. How do I justify to my wife the need for this instrument with all my others?!?!
Thank you so much for this amazing demo video! You just sold this guitar to me, it should be shipped today! What strings are you using? It seems that you have a wound third and quite fat gauge. Thanks again!
Fabulous! Just the review I wanted to see. Does this guitar do jazz with an authentic traditional sound as well as everything else it does?…..sounds like it definitely can!
What a great presentation, Bruce. The guitar is a killer. The sound is fantastic and very versatile. I love the fact that it is not heavy and relatively small in size but huge in sound.
Hi. Can you please share what was the string gauge used while recording this clip? I own this guitar since…yesterday and I am really surprised how thin original strings are. Any recommendation? Thank you in advance.
The demo we all needed for this guitar. Great playing. So hard to find good demos of PRS hollowbodies actually doing jazz
Yup me too, so glad this guy was first on the list
By far, the best review of this guitar - it’s rare to see a high level player demonstrating a guitar who can play without the aid of effects.
A Cool Guy with a Guns'n Roses T-Shirt plays the Jazz like a Pro... how funny is that 😀!!!

Yesss luv it 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Man, you can play!! What a swing!!

Is that an SE? Looks like the controls for an SE.
Yup
welcome back bruce!
Dig the PRS Hollowbody II Piezo. A great solution for jazz!
@Hulk Hogan if you need it for acoustic sounds, it is great. If you don’t need it, the HB II NP is the same guitar.

@Hulk Hogan well they are different. PRS has modernized Gibson and are well made. Plus they are much easier to deal with vs Type G.
@Hulk Hogan sounds like a good purchase@ The acoustic sounds are really good inthe right context of any plug in style acoustic I found.
@Hulk Hogan well there you go!
i got a hollowbody I Artist piezo. You can play anything on her, if you know how to play guitar.
Just got mine and I really dig it.

@@bassyey I believe so.

It is a pretty comfy neck, so you might be ok.
Sounds Absolutely Fabulous! Bravo! Please check out Theodore Esaw, Jr. Playing Lady Bird on Guitar. Thanks
Thanks my man

Thanks very much. How? Because it can mow the lawn and reduce your taxes. Didn’t you know that? Lol.

You answered my curiosity about playing jazz. Still, McLaughlin is playing a solid body PRS with Shakti.
You can play jazz on anything.
@@brucegregoriagreed … good tone is always an issue for me ..
Great playing

I just ordered one coming in tomorrow thanks brother Pastor from Mississippi
Great review.Thank you

It is a very nice guitar indeed!
Hi. Can you please share what was the string gauge used while recording this clip? I own this guitar since…yesterday and I am really surprised how thin original strings are. Any recommendation? Thank you in advance.
I used 11s for this video.
Hi @@brucegregori . Thank you for your reply. Based on it I have ordered 11-47 (flat wound). Thank you!
I tried the rest but this PRS SE guitar is the best. It can do everything especially for recording.
It is a nice guitar.
Sick playing, brother! Got me sold on er. You playing flatwounds?
Thanks very much! I believe this was flats.
