#267

I'd be interested to see a pic of the headstock serial number and the same in the PU cavity as 6 0267 would be very low for a 1986 serial number. The earlierst 1986 I know of (other than this) is 401, which is a Metal so you can assume sending to Bud D for painting added a few weeks to production (meaning it ended up being finished in '86 when started in '85). I've seen (owned) one '85 with a 40X serial number and understand some '85 guitars go to up to the 420s. I've also seen 6 49X which was a 6 on the headstock and a 5 turned in to 6 in the PU cavity. I like the early Guitars / pre-Standards more than Customs, so nice score btw Looks like Seafoam Green based on the pics - it should say in the front PU cavity although the writing is sometimes painted over making it hard to read.

Tobias!

Where've you been, buddy?

Hans! Been a bit, huh? Hanging ten. Working. Living the family life dream. Still hunting early PRSi.

Hope all is well with you!

Sick find. I should really get an early standard. I’ve always wanted a powder blue.

Early standards are really the way to go! I've had a couple baby blues that I never should have sold but alas. I'll find another...oh yes...I'll find another

Yep, it's definitely seafoam green. It can be a hard color to truly capture in photos.

The neck cavity is painted while the bridge cavity is mostly painted. I had to scrape to get the what I think is a '5" visible. Pardon the potato quality.

Nothing like a quality potato!

Gang? Nah, that’s a trifecta!

I have #305 Cherry and the headstock s/n dates it as 1985. Perhaps the custom paint delayed the factory exit?

That’s just GREAT!!!
