Love this finish...

One difference that I noticed is the birds on some of the newer models are just "silhouettes" instead of fully filled inlays. I think the ones that were on that PRS were abalone (the one with a lot of color variations instead of just a white or yellow). Still very nice!

Seems like PRS GAS is building around here. lol

That looks great, rocketman. The silhouette birds are the newer inlays - 2008 & 2009, if I'm not mistaken...and yes, the PRS-oholics don't seem to like them. My SC has them, I prefer the solid bird inlays but I also like the silhouette ones. Aren't they all abalone? They're funky looking, whatever they are.

 

My next guitar will likely be a PRS Custom 22 w/stop tail.

I really want something with an crazy quilt top & blue like this one.

These guys had another one that was just gorgeous but luckily (for me) they sold it.

$5,000!!

 

I'll either with a C22 or get another historic LP.

I still want a '57 Black Beauty or maybe another R9. (Maybe a Murphy? [biggrin] )

It never ends...

That's where I bought mine. Couldn't beat the deal he gave me --- $2500 taxes in for a brand new CU22 (hang tag said $3299)! Dunno why I deserved such a good deal but the owner said it was late on a Sat afternoon, the day had been good and he had lots of PRS' waiting to come from out back into the showroom. Too good of a deal to pass up!

 

I put some 10-52 gauge strings on it and now it feels soooo nice. I've thought about going to their Boxing Day sale tomorrow but I don't think I can make it. Not sure if it's a week-long sale. If so I may go there either Tues, Wed or Thursday.

 

I ordered a Tremol-No for it. Was hoping it was going to be here yesterday but nope...didn't make it in time. Now I'm hoping for Tuesday....
