dozy Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Hey, I just bought a great sounding guitar that seems to not exist. The internet contains no information about this model. The sticker in the sound hole says PR325, the serial number is too short for EP serial number. It says Made in Korea (assume Peerless given the PR model designation) The guitar looks identical to its cohort-mate the PR350 which is a look still carried by the DR series. Anyone has heard of the 325? I touched it and I liked it. Then a friend of mine, a much better player, took hold of it, and the guitar sang arias .. it was astounding. And that was with a decade old strings! Picture below. Thanks Dozy (the pic is from the seller on Craigslist) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peeper Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I'm going to guess a Samick, only cause my Sheraton also has the "by Gibson" headstock and is an 86 Samick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ship of fools Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Any chance of a pic of the label, I have never heard of this designation for this guiar.Ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dozy Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 Any chance of a pic of the label' date=' I have never heard of this designation for this guiar.Ship[/quote'] Will do tonight after work. It looks era appropriate - typewriter-ed model number and serial number on a label that says made in Korea. Pic will be up tonight (hopefully I can find my camera) Dozy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dozy Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 Really? YAY!! :) BTW - is the neck adjustable (can it be taken off and reset on the PR and DR guitars? I Will be doing a setup on this baby and if I can, I would adjust the action too. She is a little bowed, so she will get the tuss rod adjusted, but other than that, she just needs a good cleaning and new stings. I will save a more advanced stuff like replacing the nut and the bridge with bone ones for later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
