Description

The PRS P245 Semi-Hollow is an exceptional blend of vintage charm and modern versatility, making it a standout addition to any guitarist's collection. This single-cutaway electric guitar is built for players who appreciate a shorter scale length, offering unparalleled playability and comfort. Crafted with a beautifully figured maple top and a mahogany body, the P245 delivers a rich, balanced sound with enhanced note definition.

What sets the P245 apart is its innovative PRS/LR Baggs piezo pickup system, allowing you to seamlessly blend natural acoustic tones with the vibrant sounds of the 58/15 humbucker pickups. These pickups, designed by Paul Reed Smith, provide a sweetened vintage humbucker sound that retains exceptional clarity and a focused midrange. With dual output jacks, the P245 offers the flexibility to connect to electric and acoustic amplifiers separately, or blend the tones through a single output for a more complex soundscape.

Perfect for the stage or the studio, the P245 Semi-Hollow is both gig-ready and imminently recordable. Its short scale, combined with 22 frets, ensures a classic voice that resonates with the warmth and sustain you crave. Whether you’re capturing the subtle nuances of a delicate acoustic passage or driving a powerful electric solo, the PRS P245 Semi-Hollow is engineered to meet the demands of any musical setting.

Had to post this picture of my current favorite live guitar. Like my P22 and Hollowbody, the P245 has a legitimate sounding piezo pickup. Beyond that, it has a HUGE electric tone. Enabled with coil taps, I can get big humbucker sounds or more subtle single coil textures. This is the first guitar I've owned that I could absolutely play on every song. Thanks @prsguitars!
