Private Stock Friday

[Regan@PRS]

Little bit of a lighter week, a lot of product gets moved at the end of the month so there's a fair bit less to work with at the start of each month!

These glitter inlays were crazy in person, we had a few white/blue doghair bodies that had a shimmering coat on them but it just didn't come across in photos, you'll have to take my word on how stunning the effect was!

She already knows I'd do anything for a new guitar

Those shimmering effects are really something else...this might be the best picture of one I've seen over the years (really shows off the effect):

What if it’s a non-adjustable, old school Stoptail?
Even better for me

Maybe lighter in quantity, but just as heavy in quality! Thanks for sharing these treasures with us ;~))

The shimmering really requires movement. Can you post short videos on here? That might be more effective than stills for something like that.

Good morning PSF crew! It's been a swelteringly hot week here in Stevensville MD, so I'm here to deliver some equally hot pics You folks are also gonna be subjected to my thoughts (and bad puns) since i don't quite have enough of a musical background to talk technical with you all... LOL

Can we just talk about the detail trim along the neck and headstock?? I think it adds so much depth!

My Favorites This Week!

What's old is new again! Regan's comments hark back to Shawn's original posts waay back at the dawn of PSF.

I'm glad the torch has been passed, this thread is one of the world's beautiful things.

I'll bet those glitter inlays couldn't have been too much fun to work with and the shop cleanup costs (because glitter gets EVERYWHERE) were a factor in the labor cost of the instrument...

RE that one pickup Custom 24...does this mean spec customization is back on the menu? Can my dream of a copper CU24 Fatback with a McCarty 594 (I know I said DGT before, but the switch is in a better place on the McCarty 594) control layout become a reality?

I believe they’re made out of synthetic opal.

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!
