Experience 2018 photo thread (unofficial)

This is why I don't usually supply pictures. I didn't even get the beautiful magenta/fuchsia one with which I was so smitten. Rob, did you get a shot of that one? I was in the middle of changing my battery, and it was the first picture as soon as I booted up, so I have no idea what happened to it. I has a sad.

Alternatively, does anyone remember which store had that one? I'll see if I can find it on their website.

Huh, well that’s weird. At least I got it. Thanks for the help.

Damn! I need to figure that out.

Score! It's definitely a confusing little bit of UI design. I initially didn't want to use Imgur because it isn't the most user friendly, but the limitations of the other mobile apps drove me to it.

I think they do it this way because even if you upload a single picture, it's still a "gallery" as they see it. If you upload several pics, you can share the link and let people scroll down to view them all. The gallery view also allows people to like it or comment vs. simply embedding the pic on a different page.

Aww yeah! Seriously, I’ve been not posting pics because I have to fire up my ancient macbook/heating pad.

Thanks, garrett and vchizzle!

Goodies and swag from the Experience:

Vertical Horizon:

Dave Grissom clinic:

Dave Weiner's Visible@Night:

Apparently dealers can order S2 guitars in non-standard (for S2) finishes, a la Wood Library. There was another a few back on the rack in Armando's Amethyst:

Other stuff:

My hair can be a mess:

Snake guitar:

Wife said she really likes this Tree Of Life:

Was very tempted by this 12-string (only one on the floor!):

Got a backplate signed:

By the man:

The "holey" burl on the far right is for Brian G, from what I understand, and the pockets will remain unfilled:

Silver Sky parts everywhere! They sure have that model ramped up in production!:

Headstock signature - not just a decal!:

Wood and wife!

The Sergio Sapphire Experience!

And this is the one I snagged, safe at home now...

The back:

 

[alantig]

Nice shooting, Steve!

Someday you'll have to teach me how to hit the shutter button and toss the camera in the air to take a picture of myself like you did with the eagle! Even PRSh looks amazed at that trick - either that or he's stunned by the coolness in your handshake!

The back:

I’m taken by the shelf of SC straight off the CNC, with that cheeky splice of wood, between the cap and the back. Nice!

Sorry. I looked at that guitar so many times all the guys at ISH knew me and wanted start charging me rent.
I took a lot of stills with my phone only to come home and find out they all disappeared.. So instead of a new guitar or amp during Experience I bought a new phone after.
Compared to the other PS guitars that price was great for such a beauty. It took me a long time to find an acceptable reason not to buy it.

@rugerpc Is that bottle cap going in the batch for the next contest?

 

[rugerpc]

nope.

Only metal caps count.


...so, 1 less than you think next time.

I noticed that too! Wonder what is up with that.

That's not a splice, it's just a mark left by the router head. One piece back, two piece, book-matched tops. All Killer, No Filler.

Que up the Sum 41!

Ahh! An optical illusion that’s pretty much uniform on all the SC bodies. Nice to see even the OI has PRS uniformity

(My comment was meant positively, in that it looked cool. Like a little bonus of tasty timber, nestled in there for the player to enjoy)

You too, eh?

 

[Parralax view]

My wallet moths concur... That would be no place for me! ;-)

 

[Parralax view]

I do believe that the snake guitar missed an opportunity. The birds should have been mice.....

 

[JustRob]

Rob, did you get a shot of that one?

Dusty, when I swapped my memory card to my new phone I was able to find some of my pictures.
The purple one, and a few others that caught my eye.
