Hi all, new here...
I would like some advice from the PRS brains on a bridge pickup query and a fair sale value. In 89' I bought this beautiful Signature Series #368 PRS in Emerald green. I understand these to be Paul's premier ultimate quality wood grade guitars and are based on the Custom's. Only 1000 produced and feature a extremely figured maple top.
I played this exclusively for many years/performances. As careful as one can be, it did pickup some chips and light worming but nothing atrocious. I did have the sweet switch/pickups changed one time but a local shop return it back to stock. Some wiring was extended but all original parts and functions are restored. The guitar plays like dream of course and has a jaw dropping top and this emerald green is stunning in color. I have original paper work and the vibrato arm in it's original hard shell case.
Curiously the Luther (a PRS fan) mentioned the bridge pickup as being a very rare proto-type in that the E and B pole were different than the other lower 4. I don't recall the details and the shop has closed down so is anyone here familiar with this? They do look to be beveled unlike the other flat poles.
Here are some pic of the pickup in question (not low E/B poles) followed by the ax and some of the "ouches" There are a few other minor chips but I ran out of space. Suffice to say a few more minor chip should be expected. Any information would be greatly appreciated
