That is gonna look amazing!!! Too bad the Private Stock department is so backed up...it's gonna be months before we get a peek at this one going through PSF!!

Can any of the sapwood center be saved? It does look like it might be tough to save much.

Steve I asked the same question, The Sap has some curve to it on the back side so to square off the wood, it looks like most of it will need to come out, They are going to try to keep what they can. That is why you see the Note " See PM before joining"

Regardless, that will make a fine looking PS! Good grab, Jack!

That’s gonna be a sweet one, Jack!

Would look great next to Koa Sister #1, solid 1 piece koa body. Just saying!

Geez Jack...when you were telling me about that piece of Koa you weren't kidding - AMAZING!!

If these are truly one in a million pieces, then why make them into an HB2 instead of two guitars? Depending on the specs I could've been in line for one of them...

Want so bad

PRS made the call, They though it would be great to keep them together, I had to agree with them; Hence the HB II
