It is! He said it was pretty rare to find figured ebony. I was hesitant at first because I don't personally like figured maple fretboards, and was worried it would come out too much like one. I think the vertical lines clash with the straight fret wires. I also don't like fretboards stained with...

My dealer was visiting the factory and helped me pick woods over text. He was able to tap-test them to hear their acoustic qualities as well. I am SO excited!

I ordered my PS in May of 2023 through a very reputable, big PS dealer. Anyone have any insight into when I might get to select the woods for it? Its been 9 months... normal?

I ordered a once-in-a-lifetime PS in May that was designed with all the features I loved from all the PRS guitars I have owned. To fund it, I sold/am selling all my other PRS guitars except my SE 7-string. It is a Custom 24-08 Semi Hollow with Piezo, trem up-route cavity (Tremonti), maple top...

Hi, does anyone have any examples of Laguna Smokeburst finish? Brian's Guitars had a few Santanas that featured this finish, but I can't seem to find any others. Note that it is not the Laguna Dragon's Breath or any Laguna with a green fade. I ordered a PS a couple months ago in this finish and...

If you get the chance to post, please do! You make good points here.

Not a bad suggestion, thank you! I had considered doing something like that before. But here is why I am going with PS: - I want the higher end build quality of a Private Stock. I've yet to own or play one, but from what I hear, its on another level. Its going to be my #1 life-long guitar, and...

I am in the process of ordering a Private Stock (build can be seen here) but I am not 100% sure on the inlay material. The fretboard and headstock veneer will be dark colored ebony. I know I want the hollow/outline "J-birds" and the Private Stock eagle headstock. I have gone back and forth...

Oh, I am great at waiting now. I have an order in for a Ford Maverick Truck. $26k for a brand new truck that gets 45+ mpg. The truck had so many orders that the order window for the entirety of 2023 was open for just FIVE days last September. I just found out last week that my truck is scheduled...

Just got off the phone with the dealer - sounds like we may be going with Custom 24 Semi-Hollow over the Special. I wouldn't mind - having 24 frets gives the ultimate option in terms of note range. Trem up route should be fine, and the dealer is asking right now if Piezo will be doable. If not...

Working with a dealer now, hopefully soon! Then its time to get a bunch of guitars on Reverb!

They've been much more flexible in the past. I think the 12+ month wait time might be a reason for them scaling back customization options. Hopefully it is only temporary.

Yeah, I reached out to a dealer a bit ago. Sadly, it sounds like right now, it is not really as custom as they made it out to be. I wanted a Singlecut Trem for the thinner body, but they said they are only doing current production model bodies right now. They also said no mixing different inlay...

Hi! Looking for feedback on a guitar I want built. The reason is, I want less guitars and I want one guitar with features that do not come on any single guitar I know of. I am talking with a big signature dealer about it, and what follows is essentially the email I sent to them. I have never...
