Any ideas if the supply of rare wood is drying up or if it’s just general inflation + supply/demand that has driven private stock prices so high? Anyone know if private stocks also changed from V12 to Nitro in 2019 like the core models did?

Thanks. I was hoping the lower end would be around $10k. What I want isn’t that crazy so maybe I’ll keep watching reverb. And if the economy does what I think it might, there should be some buying opportunities in the not too distant future. But, I thought that would have already happened...

What are typical starting and average costs for custom builds these days?

In my hunt for the right Hollowbody II, the McCarty burst is one of the top finishes I'm looking for, but every recent one I see has a Bright Red neck and body middle wood. The look cool, but I prefer more neutral leaning tones like natural mahogany for neck backs. How often does PRS change...

Yeah, there's a range in woods. I've had Les Pauls ranging from a too-light 6lb wiffle ball bat feeling Special to a 15lb '79 Silverburst.

After downsizing from 15 guitars to 3, I highly recommend it. Unpopular opinion alert: Our families are unlikely to hold the guitars in the same regard we do. The value they put on them is most likely sentimental if they associate us with them and you can only have so many which would carry...

That top is stunning. Wow. And to be that light with a Braz neck is surprising. I had a ME1 Singlecut with Brazilian neck and it weighed 11-12lbs, though it had an extra thick and heavy mahogany slab for a body. I didn't think PRS made them that heavy, but it was still a great guitar. The...

The HBII Piezo is the only guitar I've sold that I truly regret. Now they're hard to find with the specs I prefer.

Anyone have extra details on this guitar that PRS built for Tim Pierce? Info from the videos below: - McCarty 594 SC based but I'm not assuming same specs - Woods unknown - Weight unknown, but he did have it made lightweight (not sure if chambered) - PRS TCI pickups - Dots (moons?) -...

Interesting. It's like they put a Scott Walker headstock on a Languedoc body. I know Goose is inspired by Phish but when you're too much of a clone it comes off a bit phony. Like if a Grateful Dead tribute band came out and the singer wore a rubber Jerry Garcia mask, it's not a great look...

The only guitar I've ever sold that I regret letting go was a HB II Piezo. Seeing this doesn't help at all.

Thanks, I've looked through those and the better priced options have cracks off of neck pocket. It's probably fine but it's one thing that I've never been very comfortable with, especially on a guitar so new. I did make an offer on one of them.

I'll spare you the story, but I have 5 days to come up with a Pink Silver Sky or Fender Strat for daughter's birthday (It's my wife's fault) Does anyone have any info on when PINK Silver Skys will be restocked or have a line on one in giftable/mint/new condition? I'm not really wanting to...

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

I didn't refer to mods, I referred to the owners. And I agree with everything you said except your last comment. They've banned people for posting guitar pedals that any kid can go purchase in Guitar Center as being a sexist and offensive post. I'll leave it at that. In any case, Tag's...
