came across some pretty pics. i'm wondering what the sustain would be like on these guitars, as that bridge system seems fairly heavy with great mass to it.

That's what happens with endangered woods though.The supply was low so they restricted it to only PS orders and the upcharge is SIGNIFICANT!
I think they might not even have any blanks for necks at this point, someone said when they went to order their PS recently with a brazzy board they were down to maybe a dozen or so.
Also by the time they were building the 513 they were down to stump wood, which although they might "look" pretty with all the crazy figuring that figuring is typically knots which deaden the tone a bit.
That really is a shame, all the interviews I've watched, Paul seems really stoked about Brazilian rosewood.
Yeah, the second I dropped money on a PRS I went and watched every video on the PRS channel.

I have a line on a potential PRS to grab locally, just waiting to hear if the price is within what I'm willing to spend on it. If it is, new pics coming soon, it's a bit rare so I don't want to post much more than that.

First off, that thing will sustain for centuries. Those guitars are built for it and do not dissaapoint!
Secondly, theres a really cute story behind that guitar. There is a father and son both on BAM, and the dad bought it for the son and posted a NGD on the forum thinking it would take his son a while to find out, but it was about 3 hours. haha Not a bad gift, aye?

Someone should tell him they make a cream for that

So many people are catching the fever.
I've been playing PRS on and off for years, I currently have a KILLER one-off CE-22 that I love to pieces. When the right one comes along, assuming I have the cash, I usually pull the trigger. Matt's had the fever for a long time
Yeah pretty much!

What color is that? Tobacco Sunburst with no gloss? That is beautiful!
I have a bad feeling the CU22 Artist I just bought off AdamofAngels is going to start a love affair I really can't afford.

My wallet is still very upset with Mr. Smith ever since the day I bought my first CE-24... there are so many cool models that it's very easy to go into a spending spree over time!

Someone trade me a PRS Hollowbody for my ESP Custom Shop Eclipse so I can be content with my collection for a few months.

Its "Amber Black". It has a gloss, but at certain angles it can definietly look satin.
Here is my 2008 Custom 24 Artist Package. One of the last Artist Packages to be made.

I was in a local music store that had several PRS on display. One of them caught my eye, the finish just didn't look quite right. I asked someone who worked there about it and he said it was probably a photo finish. Is this true? Could a $1000 guitar actually have a photo finish? If so, that's pretty disappointing.

That's what happens with endangered woods though.
Then the only other option is not to go for a PRS, but a boutique builder who's prices are nowhere near PS levels. I have a braz board and a single piece lightweight honduran mahogany body. I paid no where nead a PS for that, and I got exactly the guitar I've always wanted in my dreams.

What do you mean photo finish? A printed veneer on a US PRS? If thats what you mean, then it is absolutely not true.
