Prs Acoustic Electric Guitar For Sale (2023 Update)

A real amazing small guitar with huge electric sound and output. Easy to just pick up and play acoustically.. The PRS build is superb with no flaws.I would highly reccommended it and also PMT.John G.

PRS didn't disappoint, I bought without playing this guitar simply due to the PRS reputation. After an initial setup the guitar plays great, it sounds and looks awesome also. You won't be sorry you bought this guitar, just do it. AMS makes it so easy to buy with 0% interest payments. Only negative thing I can say is that I wish it had a built in tuner.Will

For a guitar at this price point to sound so good is nothing short of fantastic. It performs well right across the range with deep bass and crisp middle and trebles. PRS live up to their claim that you will be able to play it right out of the box because the setup will be just right. If I had any complaint it is the wood for the top is not as smooth as I have seen elsewhere but this lends to support the handmade idea and the lacquer means it is in fact level. Did I mention the sound is gorgeous. I may well put a slightly lighter gauge of string on later to make barre chords and string bending a little easier. This is a lovely guitar and has become an instant favourite of mine. It came with a hard case as well – nice.Reviewed by Andertons Music Co.

Yes, the tonal range is great, especially the piezo pickup, nicely playable and overall looks and finish seem perfect. But, with nicely contoured access to the high notes let down by the overly large neck heal which starts a fret or two earlier than my other electric guitars. Another annoyance is the very cheap knobs which don't sit straight on the pots. I have a guitar costing a tenth of the price with better fitting knobs. The battery compartment is a bad joke of a design, as the battery holder comes out with the wires attached, you then have to prise up the battery from its contacts and the lever it out for replacement. Overall these are minor annoyances on what is a great guitar but, at this price I expected better. Oh yes, it came with a hard case. Which doesn't fit properly and with no tags or brand markings so who knows what it was made for. It did come with two loose bits of foam, one which was floating around unsure of its purpose.Kevin L.

PRS SE Hollowbody II Piezo — I've owned and played this guitar for about three months now. Bottom line: I'm very happy with it–and would recommend it–in spite of a couple issues. There are dozens and dozens of videos that go into detail about the appearance, fit, and finish of this guitar so I won't bother with all that except to confirm that it is very well made overall. The magnetic pickups sound fantastic, period. The piezo pickup was putting out FAR too hot of a signal, distorting at low guitar volume, but once I learned how to adjust the trim pot for it (thanks to the PRS guitar forum website), that problem was solved and now it sounds good. It's a tad bright in my opinion but that's easily fixed with the tone knob on any amp or with an EQ pedal. The battery compartment opens easily enough, but getting the 9V battery out of it without breaking the plastic frame is a challenge. Fortunately, the battery isn't used unless you plug a cable into the PIEZO/MAG jack. The 3-way selector is garbage and I was experiencing crackling and signal drop right out of the box. HOWEVER, this is a known issue and several reviewer videos mention it so I knew what to expect. My soldering skills are only beginner-level (and I've never worked on a hollowbody before) so I paid to have a pro replace the switch for me. MF has offered to credit me the amount of the repair once I send them the receipt, so that's good. The Guitar Case — This shipped with a hard case, which I'm not happy with. When the guitar is properly seated and the lid is properly closed and latched, there is a quarter-inch gap around the bottom (see pics). That's not good. There are several (expensive) case options that are touted as "PRS and PRS-style" cases but they WILL NOT FIT this particular guitar because the lower bout is 14" wide (at least an inch wider than other PRS models). Also, it's about an inch thicker (front to back) than a Jazzmaster so a Jaguar/Jazz case won't work either.RiserGrease

I received the Black Gold Burst version about a week ago. It's a BEAUTIFUL guitar. The pictures don't do it justice. The f-holes really add to the appearance. Fender ALSO makes a hollowbody guitar, but they went the round sound hole direction, which, IMHO, is hokey looking. The sound is INCREDIBLE! I have 4 other electric guitars, including a Fender American Standard Strat, Gibson Les Paul, Gibson SG and an Ibanez Prestige- They are ALL wonderful guitars, and each has its own personality, in how they play AND how they sound. THIS guitar has a sound that TRANSCENDS ALL of my other guitars. There are a number of videos on YouTube. BUT, as with the appearance, they simply DO NOT do it justice. The humbucker pickups ALONE produce a sound that is CLEAR and RESONANT. Adding the sound from the piezo pickup sends it over the top! ABSOLUTELY MARVELOUS. I was a little reluctant to purchase a guitar made in China. However, the CONSTRUCTION and FINISH are PERFECT! PLUS, the cost is WAAAY less than the equivalent US-made version. I hope I've given you the idea that this is a SPECIAL guitar, BECAUSE IT IS!Kevin

Love this acoustic. Beautiful guitar. Detail to design and quality. No nasty mid rumble. Just pure bass and clean tones. Electronically: sounds like a miced acoustic. Get a lot of guitar and quality for the money. PRS knows how to do things and make it first class without paying the price.amos0011

The quality of this guitar is astounding. Beautiful apppointments all around. The fretwork is flawless and playability spot on to my liking. Balanced tone across the strings, rich low end and sparkling highs. Shipping from AMS was faster than expected. I’m very happy with this purchase.EddieA

The PRS A60E Angelus is a nicely balanced sounding guitar. It has good bass (but not over powering) and mids, and the presence of the highs is not overly bright. I'll also add that I think it has a pleasing tone, although that is personal and subjective. It has good volume, projection, and sustain. The neck, action, and playability are all among the best I've experienced on my sample. The laminate Ziricote woodgrain has beautiful texture and reminds me of an old Alvarez I had with Jacaranda back and sides, although the Ziricote stain is overall darker hues. Additional cosmetic touches are abalone PRS birds fret markers, rosette, and purfling along the curly maple top binding. The fingerboard is also nicely bound with curly maple. Taking into account 1) the sound quality of the A60E, 2) playability, that it includes 3) electronics (pickup and preamp) and 4) a hardshell case, along with 5) its attractive looks this is a nice guitar for the money. I'm giving it 5 stars considering all that one gets for its price (and not trying to compare it to a Martin or Taylor that costs 3 or 4 times as much, for example).ROBERT

For now I have used it at home since I've only had it for a month or so. I love playing it unplugged or plugged and it sounds great. I play mostly finger style but it sounds great when strummed with a flat pick. I'm glad I stumbled on the Youtube reviews of this and that GC had one on the wall. It stays in tune. The action was just right for me. It's easy to fret. It replaces a dreadnought shaped Seagull that I had and also liked but this is much more comfortable to play seated and really standing too, though I've only done that to practice. The fishman pickup seems to be good. Better than the L.R. Bags Element I had in my Seagull. At least it pairs with my Roland AC60 in a more tonally satisfying way. All in all I couldn't be happier.Dave H

I like the looks and feel of this guitar. I like the quality of sound plugged in or dry. The sound isn't as rich as my Taylor but it sounds great. I don't know which brand of strings are on it from the factory and I'm curious to see what it sounds like with Elixir strings. I'm not real fond of the electronic controls being in the sound hole. When it came there was a battery in a pouch flopping around inside the guitar. It had Velcro on it so I assumed it needed to be stuck somewhere. I was a little disappointed that there were no instructions with it to at least tell me how to change and attach the battery. I had to loosen the strings significantly and barely squeeze my hand inside to feel around blindly for Velcro. I couldn't find it and I had to go online for about 20 minutes to get the info that I needed. The battery inside has to be stuck right a the base of the neck. It came in a sturdy box that came in another shipping box and the guitar was safe inside an extremely high quality hard case.Jamminjay

I was looking for a replacement for my trusted Takamine LTD. I had looked at Taylor, Martin, Breedlove, and Gibson. I was visiting Guitar Center to get strings and as usual stopped into the Acoustic room to check out the choices. After playing several guitars in the $2000 range, there was this beautiful blue PRS! I pulled it down from the wall and OMG, it was amazing! the clarity of the sound was better than any of the other guitars in the room. After playing a couple of tunes unplugged, I hooked into a Fender acoustic amp in the room and found the plugged-in sound to amazing as well. It is now my daily gigging workhorse! I play on average 220 gigs a year and the PRS has been by my side with no problems since August of '21. I use D'Addairo XS 12-53 coated strings and she sings like a bird !Jim

This is my first ever *new* guitar and absolutely love it! Tried a few in different ones including Martin and Taylor but still went with the PRS. It's such a comfortable guitar to play, looks stunning and has big sound from a smaller shape! Would highly recommend trying one outAlex O.

Overall: I wanted a guitar for around the house and I love the look of PRS guitars. This guitar is amazing. Much more than I expected. It's extremely light, the neck feels like I'm playing an electric guitar and the sound is full and pleasing to hear. I thought this guitar would just be for home use but I'll be using it on stage, too. Couldn't be happier.John

Lowest action I have ever played on an acoustic. The body size is about the same as a GA, but the body shape sounds much closer to a dreadnought. It’s absolutely stunning beautiful!! Playability is excellent and the neck size and shape is exactly the same as my Zach Myers signature guitar. It makes switching back and forth between electric and acoustic a breeze! It’s called the wide thick neck. Something pretty similar to a LP 59 neck. So not as chubby as a 58, but a little more hand filling than the 60’s. Perfect for me, and I don’t really have large hands. The string spacing is in that sweet spot for both finger picking and flat picking. It’s something I highly recommend and every friend of mine that has seen and played it, was just shocked something so beautiful could be that affordable, and it comes already with a perfect fitting hard case! Great stuff!!Reviewed by Andertons Music Co.

A flawless electro-acoustic guitar – made well, finished well and in a hard case too. Never thought I'd own a PRS, but now I do. Straight out of the box it's loud, toneful and rich-sounding, plays like a dream and plugs in with zero fuss. Get one. Get two and start a band!Reviewed by Andertons Music Co.

Easily a match in regard to build quality, tone and playability for my Gibsons and Martin, and at a fraction of the cost.Reviewed by Andertons Music Co.

As a BIG Rush fan, I was very interested in this guitar right away. I was concerned that a thinline might be thin in the sound department, Not so. This is a PRS, it has a great feel, a great look, a great sound, and an incredibly nice hard case. If your looking for an accoustic/electric this is worth your consideration.partsispartschris

The PRS A60E Angelus is a nicely balanced sounding guitar. It has good bass (but not over powering) and mids, and the presence of the highs is not overly bright. I'll also add that I think it has a pleasing tone, although that is personal and subjective. It has good volume, projection, and sustain. The neck, action, and playability are all among the best I've experienced on my sample. The laminate Ziricote woodgrain has beautiful texture and reminds me of an old Alvarez I had with Jacaranda back and sides, although the Ziricote stain is overall darker hues. Additional cosmetic touches are abalone PRS birds fret markers, rosette, and purfling along the curly maple top binding. The fingerboard is also nicely bound with curly maple. Taking into account 1) the sound quality of the A60E, 2) playability, that it includes 3) electronics (pickup and preamp) and 4) a hardshell case, along with 5) its attractive looks this is a nice guitar for the money. I'm giving it 5 stars considering all that one gets for its price (and not trying to compare it to a Martin or Taylor that costs 3 or 4 times as much, for example).ROBERT

First off I would like to say the finish is beautiful. The playability is excellent. I play through a Fender Hot rod Deluxe ML series and the clean tones are wonderful. Through an overdrive, or a distortion pedal , it has plenty of growl and sustained. If you are on the fence, don't be. You will not be disappointed.John C

Really well made and the (I presume) mahogany veneer has a subtle depth to it, especially on the back. Coil split option would be nice but that doesn’t detract from a guitar that offers a good range of sounds with excellent playability.Reviewed by Andertons Music Co.

This guitar has the ability to sound like a Strat, Les Paul, and a ES335 style guitars all in one unit.. I have this guitar as well as a PRS Special 22. The guitar is versatile, explains why so many awesome players have been spotted playing one the past few years. 5815 LT pups are glorious and likely my favorite pups of this style ever made.. Worth every cent!!James C

I have a Hollowbody II Artist in red with insanely flamed maple and the piezo system. Believe it or not, I got it on sale for a mere 5-grand. Like all upper end PRS's, the setup was fantastic as is the workmanship and the gorgeous wood. Also, no binding, which is annoying at this price point as an owner of many custom shop Gibson's. That being said, this is, without a doubt, my best and favorite guitar. Fun to play, sounds decent unplugged, with piezo can sound acoustic amplified, or can sound thrash metal with humbuckers. Can do anything, and does it well. If I had only one guitar, this would be it. It ends up in my hands when I am trying to figure out a riff, or when I am trying to find a particular tone and I don't know where to start. I also enjoy the shorter scale which makes me feel like I am a better player than I really am. Anyway, at the price, this guitar should be something memorable, and it is. I think that is why most "employee guitars" at PRS end up being Hollowbody II's. That is saying something right there.brgibson

Super instrument at a very competitive price. Nice tone and good action. Well set up. Just tuned up for the conditions and it sounde great either acoustic or via the very good pick up.Reviewed by Andertons Music Co.
