A couple of weeks ago, I brought home my first PRS...

[Rod]

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity of a lifetime. Chance and circumstance conspired and I am now the Happy Owner of a Pearl White PRS. It's yellowing on some spots. I immediately fell in love with her. Amazing tone, versatility, and it's the most comfortable guitar I've played so far. Just wanted to share with you guys

Looks great!

 

[toothace]

Sweet! Congrats!

 

[KrisCHS]

Awesome!

 

[vchizzle]

Pearl white rules! What year?

 

[Rod]

Thanks guys, does anyone know if should go by the first digit or by the rest of the SN to id what year is this? I checked the year identification page on the PRS site but if I go by first digit it's 87, if I go by approximate SN I get 88

I love white guitars!! Congrats.

If the first digit of the serial number inked on the back of the headstock is a 7, and the first digit of the serial number written in the bridge pickup cavity is a 7, then it's an '87. The serial number ranges listed on the Support page of the PRS website are approximations. Congrats on a killer vintage PRS! Bird inlays are a rare option on an early Standard.

Thanks for the info, it's 7 on both

Oh yeah!!!!!

Bangin'!

 

[JMintzer]

An '87 for sure... Don't let Frankie see that one... It's a pristine version of "Casper"!

Maybe in a while this one will turn into Casper II!

 

[solacematt]

Nice! That is a gorgeous fiddle right there

 

[Rod]

Anyone know the specs of these pickups? I saw a list but I'm not sure if these are the "standard" or the "vintage" treble and bass

 

[Danerada]

Oh that's fantastic!!!!

 

[watelessness]

Awesome score, awesome sweet switch. May this not be your last PRS!

 

[justmund]

Oh yeah! Congrats, that's a very cool axe

 

[veinbuster]

Mighty fine catch.
Enjoy.
