The more I nose around at Experience here the more I don't know if its going to be a signature. Question: If PRS did a limited run of 7 strings, would you guys be down for $3.5k - $4k price point? Standard PRS color options, PRS tremelo, birds, maple top and mahogany back.... essentially a Custom 24 with an extra string. Also if a dealer decided to do this, would you be willing to put down a deposit like any other luthier to reserve your piece? Im not promising anything but I've been talking to dealers and reps all day here at Experience and this seems like it's more do-able than anything.
I'll definitely do it. I think the limited run is going to be the only way this will ever happen outside of a Private Stock unfortunately. It'll probably be somebody like Martin Music or Willcutt, they both have had limited runs, and are big dealers for PRS. IIRC the smallest limited run for a dealer I've seen has been 12 guitars.
