PRS SE HOLLOWBODY STANDARD
Chris Gill
Deeper Horizons

THE FULLY HOLLOW thinline is one of the most underrated electric guitar designs of all time. Part of the problem is that the first ones were introduced in 1955 just after the solid-body electric was starting to rapidly gain momentum, and they also were soon overshadowed by thinline semihollow models introduced in 1958. Even so, a lot of great music has been recorded with hollowbody thinline models, including about a dozen of Chuck Berry’s earliest singles for Chess, much of the Beatles’ work and Ted Nugent’s Seventies classics.

PRS is one of only a handful of companies that has offered thinline hollowbody models on a regular basis. While PRS offers an impressive variety of these models as part of their Core and Private Stock series, they recently introduced two SE series models — the SE Hollowbody Standard and SE Hollowbody II — that are affordable enough for beginners, players looking for an inexpensive expansion of their guitar arsenal or anyone interested in exploring thinline hollowbody tones without making a massive investment. We took a closer look at the SE Hollowbody Standard, which sells for less than $1,000.
