This 2008 Hollowbody II Artist Grade was produced during the Joe Knaggs glory years at PRS. The One Piece maple top and back are almost overwhelming! I purchased it new from a major dealer. Always stored in a humidity controlled, smoke free safe. The photos tell the story quite well although it's quite impossible for photos to show the beauty and luster of this amazing wood and the detailed handwork on the guitar. The quality of the inlays is superb. I have played this guitar very lightly but there are no issues and it looks and feels like new. The case still has that "new guitar" smell when you open it. I'm pushing 70 and so I have been slowly selling off my small, very select, PRS collection. I've sold three PRS Artist 24 models and a Martin Special Edition so far to very happy buyers. Everyone of them received an instrument that was far better than they expected. This HBII is no exception. I'm happy to provide references and you can check my eBay reviews. A final note: The Hollowbody design is wonderful! The Piezo system provides great versatility and the instrument is very light and easy to handle. It's simply a most comfortable guitar and plays pretty well as an acoustic for practice; you don't have to plug in all the time. Check out the NPR Tiny Desk You Tube concert with Susan Vega and the delightful Gerry Leonard playing a HBII.The Artist Grade has many upgrades including wood, inlays, case etc. It is really a great instrument and especially if an acoustic is just to bulky or hard to fret for you the HBII is the answer. I will cover shipping in the lower 48.  best, Robert
