I'm willing to work on this and try to get it done. Shawn has suggest that we use one dealer and make it a Wood Library run.
That would fix a couple of the stumbling blocks from the last try. We would have to stay within the WL specs. But one of the things that killed the last go was the specs. Just a bit too close to PS. It is possible to get a unique guitar out of the WL. Sure, someone could come along later and duplicate if we use WL specs it and claim it was a 'forum guitar' but I have a couple of ideas on shutting that down. So, the run should still be unique and collectible.
The second thing is that by staying within the WL specs, we don't have to limit the run to a specific number unless we want to. That gives every forum member a fair shot at owning one. It also means that we don't have to guarantee a minimum either. That makes it easier to pull off as well.
I will be looking for ONE thing that distinguishes the run from all other WL runs. I have some ideas and want to float them by PRS before we discuss them. I want to know they are possible before we get attached to the ideas.
I intend for this build to be as inclusive as possible for the members and have one exclusive feature. After the initial run(s), it will not be repeated.
We have no specs - we're starting from scratch using WL options.
The NEW specs are here:
It's a 6 string, RH guitar from the WL... That's as far as we are so far.
Who's interested?
I'm also looking for a dealer that will help with this process. Expect it to be a true pain in the ass, so know what you are getting into before you say you want to be the one. If I can get some cooperation, we might get 2 or even three dealers in on this. That could spread out the pain a bit. Please PM me if you are interested in being the dealer instead of responding here. I don't want a dealer war in this thread.

and this would be an amazing new model. Or you could give one to Carlos and call it the Santana IV or Santana '59 IV
