However, this type of neck joint does have the disadvantage of not allowing you to easily swap the neck for another. Still, it's something difficult to prove. Some people believe that this gives more sustain than a bolt-on neck due to both pieces having a 'better connection' than with bolts. This is more expensive to make than a bolt-on neck, but it's cheaper than a neck-through guitar. This type of neck joint consists of using different pieces of wood for the neck and the body of the guitar. The latter two provide different advantages, although neck-throughs are the most expensive. There are three main techniques to attach both parts together: Set-In, Bolt-On and Neck-Through. The neck joint is the part where the neck of the guitar meets the body. The tone is not as bright as with TUSQ nuts, and it's also not as resistant, but it's still a good quality nut. This is good for playability and tuning stability. PRS uses a synthetic material that is self-lubricating and fairly strong. In this case, the PRS Hollowbody II Piezo has a PRS Propietary nut.
A well-cut nut will make sure the guitar stays in tune and will make it more comfortable to play. Nut MaterialĪnother important thing to analyze is the nut material, as it's one of the most important aspects that can affect the sound and playability of your guitar.

The PRS Hollowbody II Piezo comes with locking tuners, which helps with tuning stability and makes changing strings a lot faster and easier. The disadvantage is the lack of versatility since you can't create the same vibrato effects as with tremolo bridges. Also, the fact that the bridge is directly attached to the body will help to increase sustain. This makes it extremely easy when changing strings because you don't need to adjust anything besides tuning the guitar. The advantage of fixed bridges is that they don't require any kind of set-up. The bridge is a PRS Adjustable Piezo Stoptail. Sometimes it's also used for necks because it's an extremely hard wood (even harder than maple). Instead, it's used mainly for fretboards. It's not usually used for guitar bodies because of this, and also because it's heavy. Since the ban of Brazillian Rosewood, this has become a rare and expensive wood. The downside about this type of wood is that it's relatively heavy.įinally, the fretboard material is Rosewood. This red-looking wood Mahogany is found in Africa and Central America and has great sustain and a warm tone due to its high density.
