40th Anniversary Model Speculation/Wish List?

[Moondog Wily]

WARNING: Repost from other thread ;~))

I would be a participant for any of the following:
SH Santana
SH MEV
SH DGT
I want lighter guitars that are comfortable for longer periods of time.

As for accoutrements, I think moon inlays with phases of the moon (full moon at 12th fret) would be cool. Also, birds flying away from body of guitar would be a nice offer. Considering this would be the "Ruby" anniversary for 40th, I would love to see a one time issue of a Ruby color scheme available across entire product line as a 40th anniversary special offer. Also on the Ruby kick, a small Ruby embedded in the 40th TRC for core and up anniversary models would be a hell of a TRC!!!

I would also add a 40th Anniversary SC-J to this list! Limited run to 40 guitars!! Spruce tops dyed ruby red, rosewood back, sides and neck!!! The "run" will be called "Ruby" and it will have a Ruby embedded in the trapeze tail (no Bigsby's) ;~)) Ruby flake brushstroke bird inlays on ebony fretboard and Ruby flake PS Eagle on headstock. Ruby flake 12th fret Eagle on heal.

Make a true Tele, and call it the 4T…

Just to ruffle feathers, if nothing else.

Semi hollow SE 594 would get me to sell my ZM SE

So we have to wait 11 years for the Flying V(0)

Whatever it is, I hope it sucks. I have enough guitars!

DC22 or Westie stoptail(Paul’s bridge). Goldtop with cracking nitro. Moons with a Tedstock. Eagle headstock inlay.

I'm hoping for a semihollow Custom 24, with the OG 513 Birds Inlay...

 

[Maertl513]

Whatever everybody wishes, a re-issue of the 513 would be great. But first production line models came on the market in 2004. This year would be more suitable for that as an anniversary.

Singlecut Trem Semi-hollow Pattern Rosewood neck and Paul’s Guitar/08 wiring with the latest iteration of PRS vintage sounding pickups.

I’m voting for a new blue CU24- 594 hybrid that has both a blade switch and the toggle for $5k

How about a realistic carved dragon for once. Blocky inlays don’t convey the full menace IMO.

If you can snake it, you can dragon it.

Okay okay two dragons, a bigger run inlayed and a smaller run carved. We don’t want to overwork that treasure of an artist Floyd Scholz.

Would anyone know roughly when PRS would publish any news on a possible 40th anniversary? I am planning on ordering a new custom 24 this year, so thinking if I should hold off for a month or two and see if anything will be announced?

Anything with an f hole and rosewood neck. Please!

Probably much closer to 2025. NAMM has been decreasing in importance in recent years, so they aren't as beholden to that, and have been releasing new product on their own schedule. I wouldn't expect to hear anything before November or December this year, maybe not until we actually turn the calendar over to the new year.

I’d like to see a 40th anniversary S2 modern eagle 5.
